Hello everyone,
I haven't been on the forum in a while, the 777 is looking awesome! I'm confused about the range of the 777 though... For instance, I live here in Houston and Emirates flys a 777-300ER from Houston to Dubai nonstop. The maximum range for a 777-300ER is 7,930 nmi. If you look on flightaware: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE212 its a 8,300 nmi flight. So what am I missing here? Do some airlines mod their 777's with extra fuel space for extremely long range flights or something? It's clearly out of the 777's range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777
