G-VIIK was my very first 777 flight back in 1998. It flew the inagural 777 flight to DFW of BA. When I flew out to London from DFW, it was on a DC-10-30ER. When we arrived at DFW, there were photographers taking pictures of the aircraft.
It is sorta weird to not see a marshaller, though. You'd think even if they do have the automated taxi system they'd have marshallers and/or wing walkers, just in case.
Cool video, though. Did people in the terminal give you weird looks since you had a tripod? :D
Nah, that was bad wording on my part. I just meant a docking system. It seems to me, even if it were reliable, that people would rather have a person marshalling in a hundred-million dollar Boeing rather than just a sensor with some lights.
What Airport is this ?

No problem man. I didn't realise they had these sensors and lights either!
Thanks for the info.
