The final chapter of the 21st Century Jet saga brings us to preparations for the 777s entry into service in May 1995. This episode details all of the hoops a new commercial aircraft must jump through as readies for its official hand off to United Airlines. As you'll see, the first 777, LN7 - N777UA, had a few kinks (IFE) still left to be worked out as it entered service between London and Dulles. The most impressive part of this episode is watching the 777 as it qualifies for ETOPS (engines turn or passengers swim) certification at entry into service.
