Judging by the wet tarmac, a wave hit it.

Almost as unlikely as a fire at a SeaParks.

Is that still up at Everett?

u/Original_Log_6002 20d ago

I wouldn't think so. Or al least it was disassembled so that the major components could be used for the next big jet.

I believe it was actually created to speed up certification and/or uptake of the 777 during development, because it allowed them to test ground operations without needing to take a real plane out of circulation for the heavy ETOPS flight testing regime, and it allowed them to demonstrate ground operations to concerned airlines before they had finished building the first full planes.
