Airbus's web site says that the 340-600 is 246 feet, 11 inches. Boeing's web site says that the 777-300 is 242' 4". The 747-400 is a "mere" 231' 10", while the 757-300, often lambasted for being so long, is 178' 7". (The 767-400 is 201' 4".) >Is there something out there even longer? The Concorde is 202' 4", rather long for a 100 seat aircraft, but short in this context. :-) The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is 247', largest in the USAF inventory. The Antonov An-124 is "only" 227'. The one-off An-225 is 275' 7", but when was the last time it flew? :-) (And, besides, this is an AIRLINES list. :-) ) >Thanks. > >JC Nick
