Got this from another forum. Many B777 guys and wannabes look forward to this B777 development; however a long time friend flying for a Pacific Rim carrier cautioned that for existing B777 drivers plying pax planes are sure gonna dread it as it means hectic mixed pax - freight operations which can really put a crimp into the already dreadful lifestyles.
First Boeing 777 Freighter Leaves Paint HangarAdorned in the Boeing livery, the first 777 Freighter was moved from the Everett, Wash. paint facility to Everett field, bringing the airplane one step closer to its world debut.
The 777 Freighter is based on the 777-200LR Worldliner (Longer Range) passenger airplane and will fly farther and provide more capacity than any other twin-engine cargo airplane. On May 21, Boeing will debut the 777 Freighter at employee celebration events in the Everett factory where the airplane is built on the same production lines as all other 777 models.
