American Jumbo Jet Forced to Make Emergency Landing at DFW
During the American Airline flight 963 the Boeing 777 was forced to make an emergency landing after their right engine had supposibly caught on fire. The FAA has said that the landing gear may have also caught on fire, but there is no proof yet. (www.kens5.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

MAybe just as big in size, and wideness Wayne, but to me there is only one

Well, that's kinda my feelin too. That's where I also thought the term "heavy" originated from but it seems they are trying to throw everything in there now
By definition, a jumbo jet simply is a wide-body or an aircraft which carries several hundred pax (look it up). The 777 fits the bill. What's the problem with that description? It does not mean 747.
The reporter for KENS5 certainly did will in Hyping A Story 101. "The aircraft made a SHARP turn, then ANOTHER, then ANOTHER. Really, genius? It's called a traffic pattern.

Sorry, the reporter did WELL.
bogdawg: you gave enlightenment on JUMBO. What about "HEAVY". That at one time, as was JUMBO, was reserved for the 47's, 10's and 1011's. Now it seems as if everything is getting thrown in the mix. Where is the official cut for it. I can't find anybody that seems to know but it seems to be catching everything from about a 67 up these days, according to some ATC guys.
Bogdawg your definition is correct, but with all respect, to my knowledge since the 47 flew in 1969, and kicked off in the 70's it has been the only A/C in my memory with the distinct definition of being called the JUMBO JET, and when the 10's and the 1011's came out in that era they were called wide bodies. So that is why I commented like this on th 47.
And yup the reporter did well>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LOL
