How to recognize a 777F
- 777-200 length fuselage with the longer raked wingtips of the 777-300ER.
- No passenger windows and a large main-deck cargo door behind the wing on the left.
- Six-wheel main gear bogies and knife-edge tail cone.
- Powerful GE90 engines that look oversized even for a 777.
How it looks on a flight tracker
Freighters often cruise at FL300 to FL390 when heavy, at 450 to 570 kt. Look for FDX, CKS (Kalitta) and GTI (Atlas) callsigns on long-haul cargo legs to Anchorage, Asia and Europe.
History
