Heavies at Phoenix Sky Harbor
|
I visited Sky Harbor in the afternoon of June 10, 2018 to photograph the landings of a British Airways Boeing 747-436 and a Fedex Express Boeing 777-200LR/F freighter. The wing span of the 777-200LR is 12 feet 8 inches longer than the standard 777-200. It iw equipped with 115,000 pound thrust engines instead of 77,200 pound thrust engines. Its maximum take-off weight is 221-800 pounds greater. Its range is 3,315 nautical miles greater. It has the greatest range of any airliner.
