Why is the Boeing 777-200LR needed?
i know its a great plane and its my favourite (cant wait for air canada to get theirs) but is it really needed? i mean i was looking on the some sites to see what routes airlines would be running it and then i checked the great circle mapper site and there isnt a distance that a 777-200ER or 777-300ER couldnt really cover.
It's roomy for passengers, a delight for pilots, but on a promotional flight, some of the more-hyped features of the 787 were hard to detect. And my, how those wings can flex.
