[QUOTE=Carl Spackler;1197405]Wow, interesting. So only 8 of the 777's came because they sold the other 8 airframes. How'd we get to the 18 777's we have now? Just axin because I wasn't here at the time.

The aircraft in question were 777ER's. 3 or 4 years later Delta placed a order for LR's and phased out the MD11's.
