Is June 26, 2019 The 777X First Flight?

After a little sleuthing, it occurred to me that 777X's first flight could be next Wednesday, June 26, 2019!!!! Why ????

Try this Link;



and then this:



Hey, what about the GE9X engine problems found in testing?

An engine  "part" wore abnormally after thousands of hours under engine distress. Other than that the engine met expectations. So the part fix will come by the end of the year while a lot of experts expect a 777X delay from this issue.


Not so fast my friend yesterday the 777X ran a runway test with GE9X engines.





Typically those kinds of tests come a week before first flight. A planeload of 777X engineers was onboard to measure everything 777X under the full engine power and full braking all day long! Just watch and smile when saying on June 26th, 2019. The 777X test vomit comet is ready to fly!

First Flight, yeah, and the press won't be there!
