Man-O-man make sure you brings lots of peanuts. I wonder how many 'in-flight' movies they showed?

Seriously, quite a feat, congrats to Boeing!

reminiscent of the shipping lines competition around the turn of the last century in Atlantic crossings--culminating in the Titanic--

This is my favorite plane to fly in, provided you aren't in the back. Comfortable climate control, leg room in coach (if you're flying Continental), stands up well under turbulence, and QUIET.

Pardon me but the correct appellation would be

"Woman oh Woman" since the Captain was a WOMAN!!!

"Oh Suzanna, Oh won't you fly for me......"

Way to go Boeing!

A good achievement, but pointless.

No airline would route HKG-LHR going east, currently they cross N. Russia.

They should have tried something that long that there is a actual need for route wise, like Auckland to London, or Seoul to Buenos Aires.

"The plane has four pilots and was carrying 35 passengers and crew, including Boeing representatives, journalists and customers."

Yet, American captain Suzanna Darcy-Hennemann is the only one to get any press.

Come on...we all know women can fly! How about giving kudos to the entire crew!!

The old B-36s use to do 24 hours once a week on a regular schedule.
