Noice!!

How loud was it on landing? There was a massive amount of reverse thrust there. Didn't need much room for takeoff though!

Nah 1024x768 is the largest. Assume because Scott doesn't use Flickr Pro (Who would really, crap)

Wasn't too loud. Only 20 POB though, I suspect minimal fuel.

Apparently only 70% take off thrust.

Was good checking it out and helped me decide which seats I'll be choosing when flying to LA later in the year.
Toilets were very spacious and the common areas were cool also.
3-4-3 felt spacious enough in Economy with good pitch on the seats.

I saw it fly over Tawa on the way in and thought "WOW", but it disappeared into the clouds before I could get my camera out of the truck. What a beast and thanks for the photos and vid!

Was here (chc) a couple of weeks back shortly after arriving in the country. Small fitout required at engineering and a walkthrough for a select few.

From the outside its just a reaaallllyyyy long 777 :)

Same as you'll see when Singapore decide to send their one to us like just recently to load up the cherries

correct if i'm wrong to say that airnz and emirates are the only two airlines that employ a 3x4x3 config vs the default 3x3x3?
