The oldest Boeing 777 arrived on Tuesday at the Pima Air & Space Museum in
Arizona, where she will soon be exhibited. The aircraft landed after a nearly
14-hour flight from Hong Kong at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and was then
towed to the nearby museum by road.
 
The Boeing 777-200, which carries the registration B-HNL, was the first 777
test airplane that Boeing built for certification. On 9 April 1994, the
aircraft was rolled out of the factory and on 12 June of that year it made its
maiden flight under great public attention.
 
The B-HNL, which was still called WA001 at the time, continued to fly for
Boeing as a test aircraft after the first flight. In 2000, the aircraft was
transferred to Cathay Pacific, where it was used until this spring. The B-HNL
was mainly used on routes within Asia.
