There was a NOVA a bunch of years back on the development of the 777.
It looked kind of wierd to see an airliner with the same "EXPERIMENTAL"
sticker pasted over the door that would you see on a contraption some
guy built in his garage.

Yep and they showed the thing shooting multiple ILS's to DH trying to get into the
test strip.

My favorite part of the show was despite the fact that they had people on a conference
call to transfer the funds and run the paperwork into OKC by hand, they use the same
little bill of sale and temporary registration that they do on our little planes. After the
guy fills it out he tears off the temporary registration copy and tells someone to go out
and stick it in the airplane.
