Yes, I know the registration in-game belongs to a 777-222ER. However, there’s still a few United Triple 7s in the 2010s post-Continental merger livery, and none in the Battleship Gray, of which the one in-game actually is a non-ER 777-200.

Among the many flights operated daily between United’s West Coast fortress hub at San Francisco and one of its two East Coast hubs at Newark are quite a few operated by widebody aircraft, usually either jets being repositioned from transatlantic flying to transpacific, or, as in our case tonight, one of United’s high-density, non-ER 777-200s. These jets have the most seats in the United fleet, with 364 divided between Domestic First and Economy. Here we are boarding on a rainy night in San Francisco, with the atmospheric river from that bomb cyclone pounding the Bay.
