CDG-IAD is new config 777 today (if weather allows it to operate). This is the plane that was going to LHR yesterday and landed in CDG instead, so it doesn't mean CDG is starting to get the new config on a regular basis.

Wiki shows no plane in for conversion (marked yellow). Is this correct?
If so, the stated plan of 9 completions in 2010 will be missed.
