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. _________________

Were all the smokey ones United (I bet)
Smoke and noise make an entertaining take off, and don't forget LOTS of wind  _________________

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