The 777 Is Coming….The 777 Is Coming!
Well….blow me down and shiver me timbers. Yes, PMDG broke radio silence on Sunday to announce a tentative release date for their Boeing 777-300ER. This anticipated release date is Tuesday, 25 June. PMDG also mentioned in that same announcement that should a delay be needed (for whatever reason) then provisional backup days extending out to 30 June might be necessary. So with any luck, we’ll finally have what I’m sure will be an awesome version of the Boeing 777W before the end of the month. Unfortunately, there was no pricing info provided in this announcement.
An Absolute First
As they say, there is a first time for everything and this is no exception. PMDG broke a life-long policy which has been in place for years where they never provided a product release date. Today, that policy has been changed and as I said above, we should have the PMDG 777-300ER this month.
In Streamers Hands Soon
The PMDG announcement also mentioned that within a few days we should start seeing the PMDG 777-300ER in the hands of those carefully selected and just downright lucky streamers and content creators. Of course the only problem with this is many of the big names in the flight simulation content creation space will be attending FSExpo which takes place this coming weekend. But hopefully there will be plenty not attending and will stay home and tease us with some great video and streaming content.
I Can’t Wait
Like you, I just can’t wait to have my hands on the PMDG 777-300ER. I haven’t decided just what will be my first flight. As I do much of my airliner flying for an American Airlines based VA, I may just do one of the shorter flights such as MIA – LAX or I may just bite the bullet and head across the Atlantic towards London Heathrow. What are your plans for the PMDG 777-300ER? I’d love to hear them.
Until next time…
Happy Flying!!!
