Cathay Pacific and Boeing announced today that they are donating the first-ever Boeing 777 airplane
to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Arizona,
one of the world’s largest facilities devoted to celebrating aerospace.

The iconic 777-200 airplane (line number WA001 and registered B-HNL) will fly
from Cathay Pacific’s home airport in Hong Kong to Tucson, Arizona on 18 September 2018.

The jet will be displayed permanently at the museum alongside more than 350 other historic aircraft.

Boeing first flew the 777-200 aircraft on 12 June, 1994 and continued to use it as a test airplane for several years.

The aircraft joined the Cathay Pacific fleet in 2000 and was retired in May after 18 years of service.

During its time with Cathay Pacific, B-HNL operated 20,519 flights, recording 49,687 hours of flying time.
