The 777-200 LR is, plain and simple, an amazing jet. I don't track the numbers on the various versions, but my basic understanding is the 777-200er carries a bunch of people and cargo a long way, the 777-300er carries more farther, and the LR carries a bunch of people and cargo non-stop between any two cities in the world. Yet somehow they pale in comparison to 40 year old douglas products (Bar and FTB bait). Especially when masterfully flown by NewK.
