Today Delta will take delivery of their first 777-232LR. Ship 7101 is scheduled to arrive in Atlanta today. Last I heard, it should depart BFI around 11:00 pacific time and be on deck at ATL around 18:30 eastern. Unfortunately weather doesn't look so good but with any luck she'll pick up a tail wind and hopefully be here prior to sunset.
Andrew Sieber was on-site at BFI yesterday and caught ship 7101 after she was ferried from PAE. Here are a few of his photos:

Quoting AirCop (Reply 4): For my information how can I tell just by looking at this aircraft that it is a 777LR vs. a 772?

Three factors, the rego's (77Ls start N7-, 772s start N86-), the engines ('small' RR Trents on the 772, f'n huge GE90s on the 77L), and the 77L has 764-style wingtip fences.

She's in the air now with an estimated arrival time of 5:36PM ET. No way I'll make it down there in time now.

The 77L took off from Boeing Field an hour ago, earlier than the 11am time reported! It's due into ATL prior to 6pm. It's a great day for DL taking delivery of this big and beautiful plane!

Just wondering, is that a satellite dome on top? And if so, will it be very usable since this aircraft isn't going to be doing transcons?

And a couple more:
Let me just say that the critics of this bird's interior shouldn't judge it from the few low-quality pictures that were previously shown on another thread. I personally found the interior of this bird to be absolutely STUNNING. Delta has made a slam-dunk in this case.

Nice large screens too.

25 Flynavy: Yes indeed. The coach seats are VERY comfortable as well. I have more shots, but won't be able to edit anymore tonight. Back to work...
26 1337Delta764: Also, what is that symbol on the lavatory sign? It looks different from the lavatory signs on other aircraft that I have seen. And also, do the econom
27 9V-SPJ: Great pictures. She does look stunning. The Delta colors look very elegant and professional on the aircraft 9V-SPJ
28 DTWAGENT: She sure does look nice. Can't wait to fly her someday... Congrats. Delta. chuck
29 Coa747: I saw Delta's 2nd 200LR on the factory floor a couple weeks ago when I got the grand behind the scenes tour of the Everett factory. Even stuck my head
31 GayStudPilot: Why are there no Delta Spirit titles? Widget outlined in gold? etc
32 Dl_mech: Satcom antenna used for communications (not TV).
33 Alitalia744: For those that love this bird and collect models... Delta Air Lines had Geminijets create a 1:400 model of this plane exclusively for them. They are a

50 Pilotboi: And another one gone...I couldn't resist. I wonder if they would have sold as many if it was mentioned here.
51 DAL767400ER: Can anyone explain why a single seat in that cabin is without a TV? Looks somewhat odd. Other than that, awesome looking plane .
52 Skymiler: Good question -- I learned about them on this site, and seeing that I will be on the initial ATL -> LAX EIS flight I thought it would be a nice momen
53 Super80DFW: If was on a flight from New York to Mumbai or Atlanta to Shanghai, I would be pissed if that was my seat!
54 FlyASAGuy2005: Great pics! Can't wait to see a few in the database What's up with the one seat with no TV?
55 Rwy04LGA: It seems that there is a row of 2 seats behind a row of 3 seats and that there is no seat behind that PTV-less seat.
56 LawnDart: The row behind it (actually, two rows) only have two seats...thus, only two video screens needed.
60 Pilotboi: No...the correct answer was already stated a few times in this thread.
61 Csturdiv: Just saw this aircraft today at ATL while on taxi to depart on my flight to ORD. She was sitting behind the Delta hangar and she was looking good!
62 FlyASAGuy2005: Ok, fine. What is the purpose? FlyNavy?...
63 Flynavy: The last two rows on the outboard sides only have two seats per row. I wonder if people actually wondered if Delta forgot to put a PTV in that seat.
64 Flynavy: Two more photos, snapped this morning at the TOC: Regards, Chris in ATL
66 FlyASAGuy2005: Boy do I miss those uniforms... How did everyone feel about the red to blue thing.
67 Flynavy: I'm not sure, honestly. We don't wear that uniform in my department. More eye candy:

74 Panamair: Is the ATL-PVG inaugural on 3/30 definitely getting the LR? So far there haven't been any indications in the schedules, seat maps, etc., and DL 16 AT
75 Flynavy: I'm just going off what the executives had said. There is a push to get one allocated for ATL-PVG. We'll just have to wait and see.
