Thank you to whomever had the insight to record these meetings, from the simplest thing to all the big things. I've enjoyed watching all of this.

Interesting point. That first aircraft DID end up flying for an airline. It was re-engined with Rolls Royce Trent 800s and sold to Cathay Pacific and registered B-HNL. It has since been retired and is on display at Pima Air and Space Museum in Tuscon Arizona.

And 11 years later........Where's the 777X

25:00 How Boeing has fallen.

It's so sad to watch this 30 years later and see how they went from first flight to entry into service in about a year, knowing that the 777X performed its first flight almost five years ago and is still two or three years from entering service. Boeing has fallen so far.

Thank you for sharing this. It was amazing, every minute of it!

Such an epic journey! The 777 is amazing!😎

33:47 shame they didn't make it possible to turn off the MCAS nightmare on the 737 MAX

THE MUSIC NEEDS TO BE LOUDER!!

Sad to see how much Boeing has fallen since these times

Thank you for posting this! After iwtv I'm making my way through everything he has ever created. He is my favorite 71 year old man 🫶

"Tempers flared" while civilized people calmly express thier concern. 😂

Ron Ostrowski "these things happen and we just got to recover from them". Easy for you to say, not being the one having to re-manufacture the rudder to a tighter schedule.

This was when the engineers ruled and before lawyers and accountants took over. The slogan 'Working Together' and the philosophy they have is the engineer's perspective. No one wins and no one loses. When I watch today's Boeing documentary, it's now about winning, doesn't matter who the opponent is.

Hi would i be able to get a copy of this without the copyright part taken out? DMing also, thank u!

And then United would face 911,Bankruptcy under Glenn Tilton & then merging with Continental under Jeff Smiseck 😡

This was a time at Boeing when stock buybacks and maximizing shareholder value were not a part of the aircraft's engineering design. It was close, though. I think it was in 1997 when Boeing announced a 'merger' with MD.

52:03 🙅‍♂️ Not for me, thanks! Did it before I left for work thismorning!

"He left with satisfaction at how well the Japanese were building the plane parts...and concern about how long it would take before one day they would be building airplanes themselves..." Yeah, it's been 30 years and I think you don't have to worry about that anymore Big Guy xD

30 years ago

I watched this in the UK in 1994 on Channel 4 as a kid. Several years later I graduated and became an Aerospace Engineer (missed the dream of becoming a pilot, partly inspired by this documentary)....

When people and the job was completed by the best, not because of their skin color or sexual identity. Last of the Pre DEI builds before quality and capabilities took a back seat to it.

Love, Cashmans' Approach...

Back when Boeing was more focused on safety and quality. They actually allowed a film crew to film the whole 777 manufacturing process. It's a shame that they now prioritize profits. Imagine Boeing allowing a film crew to follow them in 2024. It will never happen.

The 777 has got to be Boeing’s magnum opus.

Very smooth landing particularly taking in to account that this was his and the first ever real landing of a 777!

The Boeing company should've placed Allan Mulally as new company CEO. He was the very best, knowledgeable individual Boeing has had since Bill Allen. The 777 became an instant success and a "hot sell" for Boeing under Mulally's great leadership in the program. The airplane simply wasn't overlooked by many airlines that needed something of it's size and capacity. I should also note, according to specifics, if Allan Mulally was leading the company, we wouldn't probably see a MCD takeover and we would've seen the 757 become a totally new "clean sheet" airplane since the airplane was already popular among very many airlines. I did give some credit to Phillip Condit as well, but it was unfortunate, the turn of leadership and what it was to become within the company.

CEO at the time didn't believe in keeping secrets? Not the new CEO people get silenced who don't keep secrets.

Thank you for uploading such a joy of a documentary the contents and quality of this documentary is so good wish pbs focused more on industry and manufacturing

I really admire the Japanese for being extremely disciplined and taking nothing for granted. I think Americans could learn a few things from from these dedicated human beings. And they are also very spiritual as well.

This is an excellent guide on how to create a captivating TV documentary. It didn't have flashy graphics, rapid edits, and irritating music that modern shows have to cater to those with a short attention span. It's simple and informative content. I do watch this ever so often. This was 1 year before the merger between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.

Boeing fucked up.. 2024 it just continues to get worse even after 380 sum people die in the 737-8max.. incidents just continue to happen. Production issues. Management moving a billion miles away from production. They need to go back to times like this, in the 90s. This was the height of Boeing

Good Lord this all just seems like an unending task. Airplane manufacturing is just unbelievably incredible, let alone doing it on a brand new jet for the first time. Something that's the first of its kind. Starting from scratch.. unbelievable

Thanks for posting! My grandpa had these taped off of PBS, amazing I could just search “PBS Boeing 777” and get right here.

I worked as a contractor on the 777X (-9) project and I was shocked how things have changed since that time. I love to watch this series since it remembers me of what true leadership and engineering was, when people just do good things without all that crap that we have now .

FINALLY! Thank you! Been looking desperately for this for many months now!🎉

A brilliant malange of characters from old NYC.

37:08 hell of a quote 😂

❤Thank you for posting this informative, rarely seen inside look at what goes designing and building a complex machinery that needs to stay up and safely come down. As for the challenges that Boeing is facing now with 737 Max and the quality control issues, Boeing can right the ship and get back to grestness. Hang in there you all good people at Boeing. You've done it time and again before, and you can get through this tough time. Many are cheering you on to succeed!

Blowing it out of proportion and misinterpret is what the press does. It's who they are.

22:25 oh the irony of listening to Phil condit - the man responsible for moving the executive offices to Chicago and outsourcing the company- lecture about the dangers of companies fragmenting

11:47 Who would have thought that over the years it would become true. I have confidence in the Boeing team's ability to recover.

I saw this documentary for the first time many, many years ago. An American friend of mine took the time to record it on VHS tapes directly from the TV broadcast. It was a great pleasure to be able to see it once again. Thanks for making it available. Bruno - São Paulo - Brazil

That is absolutely awesome airliner! I absolutely enjoy flying on the triple 7's Boeing 777. I flew on one of her many siblings and family members in reference to these wonderful powered birds! I flew on the Delta Flight 7 or 8 depending on flying towards or from the middle east from ATL Alanta, Georgia to DXB Dubai, UAE! when I deployed overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. Sure I like the new ones like Airbus A-380 and Boeing B-787, but the B777 is my favorite! Congratulations to everyone who was part of this program!

Great memory, thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing. Great memory.

Really fascinating tech, at that era .

Take note, this is the LAST quality and safe aircraft Boeing ever engineered. Everything else since (787, 777x, 737m) is subpar in quality comparison to this.

Great memory thanks for sharing
