What Are The Oldest Boeing 777s In Service?

The Boeing 777, commonly known as the “triple seven” is one of the most ubiquitous widebodies in active commercial service. First launched in 1990, the 777 has come in six models, including the Boeing 777-200LR, which is one of the world’s longest-range commercial aircraft. Simple Flying takes a look at the oldest Boeing 777s in passenger service.

World’s Oldest and Last Active B747 Classic - Mahan Air B747-300

Get Surfshark VPN at  and enter promo code SAM to get 83% off and 3 months for free!

A B747-300 passenger aircraft is back in the sky flying after spending over 5 years in maintenance! Can you believe it? Here is the story:

On 15th October 2015, one of their B747-300s, EP-MNE, was involved in an incident on flight 1095 from Tehran to Bandar Abbas

While climbing through 7500 feet, the no.3 GE CF6-50E2 engine suffered an uncontained failure. Some parts of the engine detached and struck engine no. 4, as well as damaging the aircraft structure. An emergency landing was declared. The plane was able to land safely and was carrying 441 passengers and crew.

Surprisingly, this 747-300 EP-MNE didn't get written off! Mahan Air put in 5 years of work in maintenance on her and she recently completed a heavy C-check.

They managed to transfer 2 engines from a retired sister ship, EP-MND, and got this B747-300 back flying in the sky once again. The Mahan Air B747-300 is now the world's last and oldest B747 passenger currently flying.

I flew on the Mahan Air B747-300 domestically in Iran a few years ago. I was very lucky to fly on the upper deck of this 747 classic. This video shows my flight experience on now the world’s oldest and last active Passenger B747, from Tehran to Mashhad.

With most 747’s having been retired and killed off by the pandemic, it is definitely good news to see a B747-300 back in the sky flying.

Thanks to Loran ( Shahram Sharifi and Charles Kennedy for their input and footage to make this video possible.

Air India’s 17 Hour Wild Ride - B777-200/LR Bengaluru to San Francisco

Secure your privacy with Surfshark! Enter coupon code SAM for an extra 3 months free at

I flew on India’s longest nonstop flight from Bengaluru to San Francisco. This Air India flight covers a distance of 8,701 miles and it is the longest flight operated by a Boeing 777-200/LR and the world’s 9th longest flight. The flight is pretty wild with over 800 mph speed due to strong tail wind.

My Journey started at Bengaluru Int’l Airport Terminal 2 with amazing garden setting. It is India’s nicest airport terminal. The non-stop flight to San Francisco is operated by a leased B777 from Delta Air Lines with hybrid decor. It features 28 Suites in Business Class, 48 Premium Economy and 212 Economy seats.

We took off with powerful thrust setting with close to maximum takeoff weight. Captain Mohammed Ali Khan explained the routing of the flight and the takeoff performance calculation. He also explained about the “Bump Thrust” feature unique to the B777-200/LR that can provide 5,000 pounds of additional thrust from the engines during takeoff.

I checked out the current long-haul service offering of Air India. The flight service included 2 full meals. Business Class passengers receive pajamas, amenity kit, and slippers. Has Air India improved? I gave my verdict at the end of the long flight.

Is Business Class Worth It? Not Always????

Business class? Nah, ✨premium economy✨

How lame is it that I've been reviewing airlines for YEARS and just realized that premium economy is much better value in most cases? Let's take a typical transatlantic flight. Most cities offer flights to the US for about $2000 roundtrip in business class. Meanwhile, premium economy might cost $700-800 roundtrip (not during high season obviously). To me, that's much more worthwhile. If the airline allows it, booking premium economy one-way and business one-way to get some sleep is even better.

What are your thoughts on premium economy vs business class?

Boeing 777X - What's the Difference?

I was in the Boeing Everett Factory waiting for the Boeing 777-9 first take-off. However, due to strong wind and inclement weather, the first flight was to be postponed by 2 days.

The Boeing 777-9, registration N779XW, finally took off on 25th January 2020 at 10:09, under the command of Captain Van Chaney. It flew in the air for 3 hours and 51 minutes before returning to land at Boeing Field at 14:00.

This video shares with you all the things you need to know about the B777x. The orders from the nine customers around the world, the specifics, the cockpit, the cabin design and the test record of the Boeing 777x. The Boeing 777x is powered by the GE9X engine, which recently set a world record of generating 134,000 lbs of thrust.

Record Smashing: What Is The Longest Airbus A380 Flight?

The Airbus A380 is the largest commercial passenger aircraft ever built. While the jet is designed for long-haul operations, it’s not as well known for its range when compared to efficient twinjets like the Boeing 787-8, Boeing 777-200LR, and Airbus A350-900ULR. Despite this, the aircraft type still manages to connect some impressive city pairs- even now when travel demand is relatively weak. In this video, let’s look at the Airbus A380’s longest flights.

My Ultimate Flight - Flying the Supersonic Concorde

I flew on the supersonic Concorde in 2003 from New York to London in just over 3 hours at twice the speed of sound. This video shares with you the ultimate flight of my life; on-board the supersonic Concorde.

Watch with a detail explanation of the Concorde cockpit's unique features plus a ride in the Concorde simulator. Several Concorde Pilots and cabin crew members spoke about their feelings about the Concorde.

Special thanks to Brooklands Museum in Surrey England for the permission to film. They open year-round for visitors to enjoy the Concorde experience:

Concorde Drone Footage by John Carter/J2 Production Services

--

In this video, we pay homage to and celebrate the extraordinary service life of the supersonic Concorde jet whose inaugural flight occurred 50 years ago on 2nd March 1969. Re-live the extraordinary and exciting 50th anniversary celebrations held at the Brooklands Museum in Surrey, England, which houses the only Concorde simulator in the world, and see for yourself why this aeroplane will always be on another level compared to all others.

The Concorde jet was a miracle of engineering in many ways – a flight from London to New York could be completed in three and a half hours, allowing wealthy businessmen to, astonishingly, fly to New York for a meeting and return home the same day. The aeroplane’s top speed of just over twice the speed of sound – Mach 2.04 or 1,354 miles per hour – meant that time travel was no longer confined to the realms of science fiction; flights could take off in darkness in London in the evening and arrive in day-light in the early afternoon in New York the same day.

Even today the aeroplane looks extremely futuristic which is a testament to how far ahead of the curve Concorde was at the time. In this video, we take a look at the internal features of this aeroplane which made it unique, including its fighter jet like cockpit with analogue controls, smaller than average windows to protect against decompression and cooling and heat protection system to deliver the plane from the effects of friction with the air, magnified many times due to the plane’s supersonic speeds. We also see the famous drooping nose and accompanying visor of the Concorde jet, giving greatly enhanced landing and take-off visibility when down and supreme aerodynamic efficiency when raised.

The Concorde jet was developed jointly by Sud Aviation, now Aerospatiele and Airbus, and the British Aircraft Corporation, now BAE systems. Sadly, the production run of Concorde was much smaller than anticipated due to massive overruns in both time and budget – the original program cost of Concorde was estimated at £70 million but ended up being £1.3 billion. With so few planes, British Airways and Air France could never recoup the cost of the aeroplanes and so this was absorbed by the British and French governments respectively but their high ticket prices – a round-trip from London to New York typically cost $8,000 – still made Concorde highly profitable for the airlines, apparently ensuring that Concorde would race along the skies for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, the sonic boom of Concorde, was not welcome in populated areas and so Concorde was restricted to flights over the ocean. The fatal event for Concorde, however, came in July 2000 when Air France Flight 4590 crashed after take-off, en route to New York, before even leaving France, killing everyone on board. Subsequent reductions in ticket sales meant that the decision to retire Concorde was taken in April 2003 and attempts by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic to purchase the British Airway’s Concorde fleet were not successful.

Sadly, fate cut short the service life of Concorde but she will always be remembered as the lightning bolt of the skies; able to go higher, faster and louder than any other commercial aeroplane. Her legacy survives in the likes of the Boeing 777, which make use of the electronic fly-by-wire acceleration systems that were first introduced in Concorde.

I Flew in Air Canada's 777 Business Class!

The Boeing 777-300ER is the largest plane that Air Canada flies, and they usually operate the company’s busiest international routes out of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal.

However, they’re also a common sight on some busy domestic routes, especially during the summer. After winding up in Toronto back in May last year, I decided to take the long way home and try out their 777 on a proper transcontinental flight!
