I flew United to France on the slim chance that I would get to fly one
of these storied 777s. This one, N773UA was line 4 out of Everett in
1994 and took part in the 777 flight test program. it first flew
October 28,1994.
It once went by the name WA004 and validated the 1000 cycle ETOPS
testing for the FAA.
There is a rich history behind this beauty.
