I was allowed to take pics before the inaugural flight of N647UA (the 767 IPTE prototype) with a verbal NDA to disclose them only after the UA press release. The pics were not leaked to anyone. I suspect anyone who has pics is either an employee and/or is under similar restrictions.

Wasn't N794UA supposed to be repainted into the new livery after being converted? Is that still happening?

LHR to DEN
What do you think my chances are of getting a reconfigured 777 for LHR to DEN and back at the end of June?

What the hell would be the point of adding Wifi capability to the international fleet?? It would only work over the continental US! Remember, Boeing ax'd Connexion years ago after only a few carriers signed up.

I'm about 95% sure that gogo (the inflight wifi folks) use cellular base stations rather than satellites... which is part of the reason it's continental-US only.
