'Twas a cold, snowy day in Denver, but the schedule must go on!

This day was the first of several days of snows, and the airport eventually closed, but not before the mighty 777 could go!
Pushback...

...

...

Beginning to taxi...

...

Passing the Tower and about to turn and line up

...

All lined up on 17R.  In just a moment, 85,000 lbs of thrust will pour aout of these beauties.

...

Rotate!

...

Up we go, out of this blizzard!

...

Above the clouds and away to warmth!

...

==================

Denver is my home airport and we do close sometimes in the winter.  United also has a hub here, and so we get those nice 777s all the time.  It was a meljet, by the way!

Hope you liked them...  Comments welcomed!

Thanks for the replies and comments guys!

About the 85,000 lbs of thrust, I guesstimated. 
This I know, though:
GE is the maker of the world's most powerful jet engine, the GE-90-115B.  http://www.geae.com/ It puts our 115,300 lbs of thrust per engine at sea level.  WOW!  It is the engine on the 777-300ER. 

United's 777s have Pratt & Whitneys on them, that I know for sure. 

I just did some reaserch for this reply and found out this:
-The PW 4070/4080 series is an option for 777 engines (RR, PW, and GE all make 777 powerplants)
-The PW 4080 can put out up to 86,760 lbs of thrust per engine.    I was close!   Grin

That's all from here:
http://www.pratt-whitney.com/prod_comm_pw4000_112.asp

Glad you liked by wintery post!
