Itβs a Monday, so hereβs an airplane video
737-700 that was born when I was in high school, climbing out of IAH last Friday. Sound all the way up for full engine purr.

*Folded the aircraft's wingspan is 213-feet and the same as the 777-300ER, so it can use its gates and taxiways. Unfolded, the span grows another 22 feet 10 inches to increase lift.
Iβm so glad your friend is okay, and sad for those who arenβt.

05.08.2025 00:38 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Boeing as early as Aug. 5 is expected to make its first maiden flight of a 777-9 in nearly five years, according to two people familiar with the companyβs planning. Painted white but earmarked for eventual use by Singapore Airlines, the new fifth test aircraft, registered N2007L, is being tasked with high intensity radiated field (HIRF) testing to evaluate how systems respond to electromagnetic interference. No fewer than 20 production 777-9s sit between this test aircraft and WH004, Boeingβs fourth dedicated test aircraft. WH004 first flew in September 2020 and was placed into extended storage when Boeing returned the aircraft to flying status in May to conduct cabin and environmental control systems testing. The Air Current on July 28 reported Boeing had received clearance from the FAA the previous week to begin the fourth phase of its certification campaign that will focus on systems demonstrations.
