Delta's last 777 flight
Today Saturday October 31st 2020, marks the last scheduled passenger flight for yet another Delta Aircraft. Much like the MD88, MD90 & 737-700, Delta has chosen to retire its Boeing triple 7 amid the havoc in the airline industry due to the COVID pandemic. After about a 6 hour flight from New York's JFK, N701DN ship 7101 wearing the Delta Spirit livery arrived at Los Angeles's LAX around 4pm local time.

"First flight June 12, 1994'.
"The 777 entered service with the launch customer, United Airlines, on June 7, 1995".
"Some say that even as the name disappeared, the McDonnell Douglas finance-first culture survived the 1997 merger, eclipsing Boeing’s engineering-first culture".

I was referring to DAL - which is what the article is about
A bit misleading since these 777 will likely re-enter service once the airline industry bounce back...
