https://www.aviationweather.gov/taf/board?ids=KPAE suggests it should drop to 12 knots within the hour, but no lower.ojjunior wrote:I'm sorry but AFAIK in Roman numerals X means 10, this is the 777-9 so why is it called 777X???
X is short for 'experimental', pretty much every new Boeing model starts off with an X in the designation till marketing decides what to call it for real.

Way to piss on the parade! It doesn't seem tired to me.

It really looked awesome in Red on the 748. When did they certify that one? Last week? And on the 77L. And the 788 first flight.
And I’m pretty sure God is pissing on this parade.
It’s still a good looking livery but it would have been nice to see a new generation of livery. Perhaps they will share a new livery on an actual new program, since the 787 is the last new program and last new livery. And yes I know the variations of 737, 747, 787, and 777 have slightly different liveries than the Dreamliner livery but they’re all variations of that original Dreamliner livery.

Mr. Bitter...your table for one is now ready.
Boeing has a handful of problems - big problems - but are you going to crap all over the 777x for the livery?

Someone just found out the reason for the delay:
Tower : Flight 2-0-9er, you're cleared for take off.
Oever : Roger!
Murdock : Huh?
Tower : L.A. departure frequency 1-2-3 point 9er.
Oever : Roger!
Murdock : Huh?
Re-quest Vector, over!
Oever : What?
Tower : 2-0-9er clear for vector 2-3-4.
Murdock : We have clearance Clarence.
Oever : Roger, Roger. What's our Vector Victor?
Tower : Tower's radio clearance, over!
Oever : That's Clarence Oever! Oever.
Tower : Roger.
Murdock : Huh?
Tower : Roger, over.
Murdock : Huh?
Oever : Huh?

I took my Granddad to one of those Spas where they have the little fish that will nibble away any dead skin ... it cost over £100 but it was cheaper than a funeral.

The site, not the plane.
