Brought into service in 1994 by Boeing to replace earlier, aging DC-10 and L-1011 airliners, the twin engine Boeing 777 fills the void in size between Boeing 767 and 747 and is Boeing's first aircraft to be outfitted with advanced fly-by-wire controls. Offered in many versions that can be configured to seat up to 472 passengers with a flight range of nearly 8,600 nautical miles, the Boeing 777, which initially competed against the now discontinued Airbus A340 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, has overtaken the Boeing 747 with the number of aircraft produced and currently goes up against Airbus' A350 and A330-900 aircraft. The Boeing 777-200ER - Extended Range - which can fly approximately 7,100 nautical miles, was proposed to meet the requirements of airlines flying transoceanic routes and initiated service competing against the Airbus A340-300 in 1997 with additional fuel capacity and a maximum takeoff weight to accomplish this task. N771KW's history with Eastern Air Lines is marked by its role in redefining the passenger experience and reestablishing the airline's reputation for excellence. The 777-200ER offers travelers a luxurious and comfortable cabin, equipped with top-tier amenities, entertainment systems, and impeccable service, ensuring a remarkable and memorable journey. Eastern Air Lines' commitment to delivering a premium travel experience has been magnificently embodied by this aircraft. This meticulously crafted replica captures the essence of the aircraft, from its elegant design to the iconic livery.
