Boeing has two 777-200LRs in flight testing as part of the certification process that is needed before the first plane can be delivered to Pakistan International Airlines in early 2006.

Then I guess al Qaeda won't have to fly out of Logan anymore.

I think Boeing is hitting another homerun with their new version of the 777.

Airbus is betting on larger planes, more centralized hubs and routes.

Boeing is betting on a diversification of routes, and a distributed, not centralized routing system. For Boeing, this means a lot of midsize planes doing short haul and long haul routes directly, rather than funneling passengers through hubs.

No word yet from Boeing on what the crew of the 777- 200LR will receive

One heck of a DVT? :)

India is going to design the bomb bay and Iran is going to install them.

Airbus now has the world's longest-range jetliner actually in service with airlines. It is the A340-500. Singapore Airlines is using the Airbus jet on 18-hour non-stop flights between New York and Singapore, as well as long-haul flights between Los Angeles and Singapore....

Please explain the difference between non-stop and long haul. Is long haul referring to a one/two stop without refueling?

Also is this where I would ask to be included in the aerospace/astrophysics ping list?
