T - 7 , seven seven seven triple 7 ?

This is a Triple 7 , sometimes know as a T-7 or a 777
The Boeing 777 is a family of long range widebody twin engine airliners built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It carries between 305 and 550 passengers and has a range from 5,600 to 8,870 nautical miles (thats a long ass ways). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the set of six wheels on each main landing gear, its perfectly circular fuselage cross section, and the blade-like rear tail cone.
The Guinness Book of World Records recognized the -115B powering the 777-300ER as the "World's Most Powerful Commercial Jet Engine" with a tested thrust of 127,900 lbf Now thats some thrust!

Let it be known that to a true expert it is NEVER referred to as anything other than TRIPLE SEVEN. :) Only an amateur (Spencer) would refer to it as a SEVEN SEVEN SEVEN and then have to be corrected by an expert (Adam).

Also, I have gotten my hands on Boeing sales guide which is excellent. Perhaps I'll share it with you this week.

Guess you can take the daughter of a "car guy" out of the dealership, but you can't take the dealership out of the daughter of a "car guy"...so to speak! I stand corrected!
