Delta officials will be in Seattle today to take delivery of their first new aircraft in six years, a 777-200LR. First scheduled revenue flight is next Saturday, ATL-LAX-ATL, followed by ATL-NRT.
:arrow: Delta's new Boeing 777 can fly farther, carry more [Atlanta Journal-Constitution]
According to a post on anet by our old friend/Delta employee ChrisW/FlyNavy, after Delta takes delivery of their second 772LR on March 21st, they will begin using them exclusively on the JFK-BOM run on March 30th. Unfortunately, the flights will be difficult, but not impossible to shoot: JFK-BOM departs after dark (8:55pm) but there could be some nice light on the arrival if you don't mind losing some sleep: BOM-JFK gets in at 6:40am.
I think I can try to get up and leave my house by 3am to be there in time to catch her landing depending on which runway is being use to landings
Will there be a legal fly-by? :lol:
The a/c is doing an ATL-JFK-BOM-JFK rotation. The flight is scheduled to arrive in JFK on 3/30 at 735pm. The return flight arrives 4/1 at 655am.Quote:

And it was moving as well so wasnt able to click anything, luckily when it lined-up there was something vacating runway 27 & so N701DN stopped briefly & i got my shot in. After that damn it, the pilot switched the tail light on. :x :x :x
Everybody else who was parked like Lufthansa, Swiss, Alitalia & so on had their lights ON the whole time.
Any particular reasons ?
