   777 to the museum

   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.
