Speaking of the 777. It looks like ANA will place an order for around 53 777-300ER's next year to replace all it's 747's, and older 777's. There is a Bloomberg story all about it, but we can't link to that site.

Japan's All Nippon Airways may replace 53 of its largest aircraft with Boeing models, in what would be a stunning blow to the European aircraft manufacturer in the lucrative Asian market. The value of such an order for Boeing would be $13 billion.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) is Asia's second-largest by revenue and it introduced the Airbus A320 to its fleet in 1991.
There are 777's old enough to be replaced??
