Last night I was asked by Jack to closely investigate the new paintjob on the PMDG 777-200LR in the TAA livery..... and so we did...

Lookin' darn good doesn't she ?
There's even more good news because shortly after that I also got the TCA and TL liveries for testing... and I can tell you, they all look so great !!
So today I was honored to fly the first revenue flight with the Tradewind Alaska B777-200LR N777TA "Virgil F. Partch" and take her from Denver (DEN) to Honolulu (HNL).. .what could we ask more.. a great aircraft and flying her to a great location...
All passengers and cargo is loaded and we're ready for pushback

Taxiing to RW34L
[attachment=5498]
And soon holding short of the runway awaiting incoming traffic to land
[attachment=5499]
Lining up on the runway, and cleared to take off using the COORZ2 departure with our first cruise level set at FL360

[attachment=5503]
At 19:59Z, near TATOO intersection and arriving near the west coast, step climbed to FL380
[attachment=5504]
Nearly 12 km high, over the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
[attachment=5505]
22.55Z, over the Pacific Ocean, and just past our Equal Time Point for our ETOPS pair of airports being KLLR/PHOG.
If we get in trouble, from here on we head for PHOG and as you can see on the ND it's about 939nm up ahead
[attachment=5506]
We had a safe and further uneventfull flight and arrive over Honolulu on the REEEF4 arrival
[attachment=5507]
[attachment=5508]
Turning to intercept the localizer for the RW08L ILS
[attachment=5509]
[attachment=5510]
All set up for landing
[attachment=5511]
[attachment=5512]
A light rain is welcoming us.... leaving the runway and taxiing to the gate
[attachment=5513]
[attachment=5514]
Arrived at the gate, the passengers were pretty exciting having experienced this first TAA T7 flight
[attachment=5515]
[attachment=5516]
So far a great flight with a very promissing and magnificent new aircraft by PMDG
