I've been riding in them for years going across the Pacific.

Yea, but they just designed, built, and did a first test flight I believe on a new airframe last week. Saw it on the local news.

The new 777X has composite wings.

I guess that's it, I'm dysfunctional, I kinda watch TV and surf the Interweb at the same time.

Yep that was the 777X. It's a fine looking airplane and it's big as well.

The Dreamliners are composite.

The luck those few people had that survived that crash? WOW! Talk about a life changing experience that would be.
