Great documentary on the 777
I have found a great documentary on the making of the Boeing 777 (if you're going to watch it prepare some time - it's 5 hours long!!!).
21st Century Jet - Making the Boeing 777 (Part 1 of 5)
Now I have a question not really related, but as I was watching, I heard Jim McWha (the Chief Engineer, Flight Control) speaking (at 31 "10). Does anyone know where his accent is from and why it sounds so familiar?
Otherwise I really recommend watching this - it's a fascinating insight into the development of a new plane and into the inner workings of Boeing. Great PR on their part by allowing it to be filmed and released.

Yes it was shown on UK television about 15 years ago. What surprises me is that Boeing did such a superb job on the B777 in terms of design, manufacture and delivery, and then made such a pigs ear with the B787.
I bet Alan Mullaly is having a good laugh.

Back to my question though.... still no luck on finding out the origins Of Jim McWha... maybe the mods might be kindfull and move this over to JB where it might get an answer. Thanks.

With all his problems at Ford, I very much doubt it!
