Is this amount of smoke usual for UA 777's. It doesn't seem right  take a look at how much smoke there is at spool up and when it turns

What is your opinion. It doesn't compare to my sig though

I guess UA 777's smoke normally. Not a good image for UA and PW

Let's not forget that all flights are now non-smoking!

I can confim 777's DO in fact smoke! I saw about 12 of them in the 3 hours I was in O'Hare today waiting for my flight to come in for Charlotte leg. But MAN those lucky 7's are a thing of beauty to watch take off!!! OMG.
By the way... yall may think me a crackpot, but global warming... yes. But it is not quite what you think. Watch the movie "The day after tomorrow" to get a more realistic depiction of what COULD happen in our lifetime.
Right now we can all say it's fake and so on... but I would REALLY hate to be the one who said I told you so. In my lifetime I have noticed the difference. Even the sky looks a lil different than it did back in the 70s. US AIR TALES- Stories of one man's virtual life as a pilot |

I saw a few of them smoke similarly... most did not. It did not seem to have an effect on flyability to me. US AIR TALES- Stories of one man's virtual life as a pilot |

Were all the smokey ones United (I bet)
Smoke and noise make an entertaining take off, and don't forget LOTS of wind Please direct your complaints to the moon, they might care there. |

the black smoke seems to indicate the kerosene isn't being burned completely. |
