The entire 5 hour documentary I think this is from about the 777 is awesome and definitely worth the watch. It was on PBS, called "21st Century Jet"

- rdl 13y agoAs amazing as the 777 is, the 787 seems to be even better (and there's talk of updating the 777 with 787 technology). I really hope next time they go shopping for Air Force One they take budget into consideration, and the end of the cold war, and ETOPS, and seriously consider a twin engine (ideally a 787 with a reduction in passengers, but probably they'd go with a 777 and continue taking way too many people.) Outside of cargo and the military, four engine passenger jets seem to be a dying species. (and obviously the A380 and other airbus products aren't in the running for AF1. I still haven't gotten a chance to fly on an A380.)
