On December 19, the second Qatar Airways 777-300ER was delivered to Doha. In case you were wondering, the trip from Everett, WA, USA to Doha, Qatar is a marathon on a 6413 nm route. However, the Qatar Airways delivery flight is only the fourth longest of this year for Boeing on the 777 line which has had an amazing 75 deliveries through November 2007.
