Im sure this was brought up before but oh well. Just thought i would ask. Mine was back in 97 at BOS. That was the first time i saw an AA A300 as well. I was waiting non-rev for a flight to DFW on AA when i looked out the window and saw a BA 777 climbing out. To say the least i was very excited and will never forget that day.

Sometime in 1996 or so, shortly after induction, I was hoping to fly one of these wonderful ones... booked DEN-LAX UA with 757... and all of a sudden, flight cancelled, booked on the next flight 1 hr later, due to more pax equipment change... 777!! That was great

Hey Bob,
I saw my very first 772 in the Spring of 2000 when I flew from DEN-IAD on United's 777-222 (N766UA). Also the first time I flew in business class, making it one of the most memorable flights of my life. I have yet to see a 773....might not have to wait too long!
Regards,

Surprisingly enough until may 2002 ( I was 14 then ) I knew nothing about airplanes..... I had been on planes few times before, and always thought all of them were jumbo ( which meant it was a Boeing ), and my idea of an airbus plane was that all of airbuses were single aile arcrfts....... pretty funny
But on may 3rd. 2002... my 1st. intnl. trip to Singapore on SQ was the day that changed my life.... That was the 1st. time that I saw and flew on the 777. Also while comming back we were booked on KE upto SEL on an a330....

Saw the first 777 that I can remember in Osaka/Kansai. It was a Cathay Pacific 777-200 dimly lit by the terminal lights as our delayed flight from Seattle/Tacoma pulled in that night.

My first time I saw with B777 with DL was here at FLL from 4 years ago and when I was working at the restaurant with CA 1 Services. My supervisor was said ok that I can go look to see with B777. Not have any problems at all. I saw with B777 about 3 or 4 times at FLL and sometime was used with B777 here at FLL.

Hello
I was living in Bogota Colombia in 1996 when I saw the 1st 772. It was a prototype that was making a tour in Southamerica with final destination Santiago de Chile Air Show.
Well the company where I was working for, had received an invitation from the representative office of Boeing in Colombia to take part in the demonstration flight. My Boss couldn't assist so I went to represent him. I was complete happy and very excited. But bad luck, after the plane came back from the first flight and the passenger were getting out of the plane through the gate finger of the "Puente Aereo", the gate fell down taking with him the front door of the plane. Surprisingly any passenger were injured, at that moment nobody was walking out of the plane. The President of Avianca was in the plane and he was really upset, it happened in an Avianca terminal.
Well the 2nd flight, my flight, was obviously cancelled, I just received some souvenirs from Boeing. The Plane stay in Bogota for some weeks until a new door came form the factory and another plane has flew to Santiago for the Air Show.

Back in the spring of 1997 at ORD. It was at the the gate next to my arriving flight from LAX. The 777 was flying the non-stop to HNL that day. Odd, as it was normally operated by a DC-10.

It was 1998 I was flying from ORD to LAS and I was at O'hare airport I saw this aircraft in the dark it was evening over the Christmas-New Years holiday. I was in the United terminals and I saw this huge twin engine United aircraft that I could not identify(again it was dark) as it taxied around the C concourse I thought to myself that's awfully damn big for a 767 and it was so wide (a true widebody). After it turned the corner and taxied for the runway it dawned on me. Here I had been hearing about them for 2 to 3 years and it never occurred to me (daaahhhh)) a triple 7 I screamed to myself. I was so jazzed I could hardly believe it and then I saw them again more often at other airports. Next to the 744 they are my favorite Boeing.

Believe it or not it was one afternoon i believe April 1997 in Yellowknife, Northwest Territorys, Canada... when i woulda been in about maybe grade 2 or 3 (just a guess on that one) my dad picked me up from school about 30 minutes early saying i should see what they parked out at the airport. When we got there, turned out it was a United Airlines B777 of all things. Quite a surprise to me.

I was spotting a/c near In and Out by LAX. I think it was the Summer of 96. All of the sudden a huge twin engine flew in and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a UA 777. On of the most awesome moments for me at LAX. I could feel the power as it flew over for 24R and made a smooth touch down.

I was a little late seeing one...but it was Jan 2001 and American was operating a military charter into AEX with N789AN. I was stunned by how large and beautiful it was!! Since then, I've had the chance to work with UA and CO 777s many times!

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

Staring out the window of the Air South 737-200 while our aircraft was waiting to depart Newark when I noticed a plane with two large engines
and a very tall Tail. It was a British Airways inbound from London and what
a sight it was. This was in March 1996

The first time I saw a 777 was during Boeing's official rollout ceremony in Everett. Quite the show, let me tell you! Still have a few of the lunch sacks they gave away with food inside.
Second time was a tour arranged for a few people--actually got to go inside the plane while it was at BFI and check out the test equipment, water barrels, and very out of date seats!
