Boeing 777-200ER from Delta Air Lines at Ringway/Manchester Intl Airport by Tom Hughes

Delta's 777s have recently begun diverting to MAN on a regular basis due to strong headwinds on their Mumbai-JFK flights. Whilst normally they arrive and depart around 6AM, today it came in very late allowing me to catch my first DL 777 on film! She makes a beautiful sound on takeoff, enjoy!

Just to clarify for the newbies on here. The first plane that took off was a 767 because it had 4 tires on main gear assembly. The second plane was a 777 cause it has 6 tires on one main gear assembly. Also, 777 engine diameter is16 feet, much larger than the 767.

You are wrong. Your knowledge of the plane is correct, but this plane has 3 rows of double wheels, so therefore it must be a 777-200ER. Not a 767.

@aaronrodgers77 it depends on the airline. Cathay Pacific is really nice to fly with their B777's but on United there are a couple of confiigurations you could be on. It all depends on the aircraft.

@FSXkid11 No, the first plane that took off was a 767 because the back wheels had 2 rows of tires. The second plane was a 777 because it had 3 rows of tires

@aaronrodgers77 It was a Delta Triple 7 from Paris to Atlanta (8 hours 35 minutes) I started flying as a teen in the sixties (L-188 Lockheed electra). I have flown all the Boeing Planes, 707, 720B, 727, 737, 757, 767, 747-100,200,300,400 and the 777. I think I like those 747's best.

@Alachua03 what airline? i will be flying a continenental (now united i guess...) to israel, and it will be a 777. i have never flown in a 777 and i was wondering if they r better than other boeings.
