Default First 777 headed to the junk yard

12th 777 off the assembly line is headed for dis-assembly.

I flew the 1st 777 a few weeks ago and it's still flying great, #19 must have had some hard miles

...acquired a General Electric GE90-90B-powered 777-200 (MSN 27109) - the "nineteenth" aircraft off the line - for disassembly.
Maybe I'm wrong but the article say's the nineteenth and not #12, maybe I misunderstood. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Someone will come along with a freighter conversion one of these days. 11 years is much too soon to retire. I don't think I've flown anything less than 20 years old.
