On a very low tide (-4.3 feet!) beach walk today, I enjoyed PNW wildlife and a peculiar, giant bird in the sky: a prototype Boeing 777-9 doing loops over Puget Sound. Looked it up tonight and it was near the end of its flight from Spokane to Boeing Field. This particular bird was BOE003. Not certified yet. Seems a lifetime ago I was an engineer on the original 777 program. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE3

On This Day 25th March 2015.

Race ya!
A6-ENF, Boeing 777-31HER, Emirates, lined up on Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 25th March 2015, with A6-ETF, Boeing 777-3FXER, Etihad, lined up on a parallel taxiway ready for it's turn.
These planes are off to airports ~120km apart, around 5700 km away, at almost the same time, so will probably reach their destinations about the same time.
