CNN: World's first Boeing 777 retires

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/c...eum/index.html
after nearly quarter of a century of flying, the first 777 has made its final flight -- to an aerospace museum in Arizona, where it'll see out its retirement as a top travel attraction.
Ack, I'm feeling old. I remember flying one of UA's very first in 1995 as it was doing IAH-ORD flights to work out the kinks before moving into international service. Free status-based upgrades to the F cabin outfitted for international service - on demand video (I watched Casablanca), big fancy seats, etc. Quite nice for the time.
