Bravos, Greg, on finding and snapping this historic Triple Seven. There can only be one of anything that is the "World's First" so this is a 5 * keeper shot for sure. Congrats.
Thanks a bunch, Gary! While I've flown on some 747s before, I've never had a chance to be on the ground and walk around one. And the 777 is nearly as big and just as impressive when you can get up close and personal. I did not realize how far off the ground they sit while on their gear. I could walk underneath them without having to duck, and that was with my hat on. Pretty cool!
Nice Boeing shot Greg!
Thanks, Darryl!
