Awesome, I can't wait. When is it scheduled to be delivered?

[ChrisW]

Wow!!!!! Im very excited to hear about this... Ill be looking foward to seeing her at JFK if it goes there.

[ChrisW]

If it goes there? Of course the LRs will be in and out of JFK.

That's actually not such an "of course"...from my spotting experiences, we see a ton of Delta 757s and 767s, but not so many 777s at JFK...

I don't assume anything until I see a schedule. And you of all people should be able to give us that when it happens... :)

Delta's colors look great on the 777.

Delta currently has 2xdaily 777 arrivals and departures into JFK.

It is pretty much an "of course" since Delta is expanding their JFK hub and the -200LR will help them expand even more. I can imagine the -200LR well be placed on the JFK-BOM flight when it enters service.

What's their schedule like? I don't think I've ever seen one when spotting.

Thanks Gordon. No wonder I haven't seen them - it's either before I'm awake, or after dark

[ChrisW]

The 777-200LR will be deployed on JFK-BOM when it enters service, correct.
