So the conclusion is finally ... You were wrong. Like I said.

Uhh, GDoltz, the question was "India" not Singapore. Please read the thread again.

How many current commercial planes do that?

Ripsnort answering the "Any airport from India to the USA (After reading the article>>>

The 777-200LR will enable Air India to provide ultra-long range, nonstop flights between any airports in India and the United States. The 777-300ER is the ideal airplane to replace the airline’s current fleet of 747-200 airplanes because it offers Air India comparable capacity with twin-engine efficiency.
The 787-8 Dreamliner is the right choice for Air India to replace its aging A310 fleet. With its innovations, the 787 will allow Air India to open new nonstop routes such as Delhi-New York and Mumbai – San Francisco economically, while offering passengers unprecedented comfort.

So, to answer Mos, No, no current airliner can go from ANYWHERE in India to ANYWHERE in the US...and cannot do it as economically as the Dreamliner will.

Gdoltz: "your wrong--Singapore Airlines A340-500 took the official world record for distance and duration for a commercial flight more than a year ago with its Singapore-LA non-stop daily service. "

When did Singapore enter the conversation?

Just admit your a dolt. Then all will be harmonic in No-way.

So who (current airliner) flies from anywhere in India to anywhere in the US?

Awaiting your answer.

Not worth it, GDoltz.

So tell us, now that Skuzzy has whooped ya, you gonna be a good boy on the BBS?

Its pretty obvious to me that I was speaking of active service, like the article specified, and answered mos to that, although somewhat vague in my single "no" reply..and you took it for "specific plane type".

Why is it that people have to split hairs in order to be right?

Why can't people say, "I thought you meant X. I was talking about Y. My mistake."

Damn boeing vs airbus hijackers.

I want Rippy to tell me how he squares the huge rise in global terrorism with his pet theory on Bush's super duper secret strategy on Iraq.

There is also a direct correlation to the number of terroristic activities and the prices of oil!!!
