After two windy days, Boeing was finally able to get the 777X in the air out of Paine Field in Everett.

The 777X took off to the north with a chaser plane. Fight control said the 777X would be up for a couple of hours before landing at Boeing Field in Seattle.

A combo of the 777 and the 787 Dreamliner, Boeing says its 777X will be the largest and most fuel efficient twin-engine jet in the world.
