I arrive at the airport and start preflighting the plane when my CFI comes out and tells us that his friend just called and told us that we can go on a test flight of a 777 and go on a tour of it. We takeoff and head over to Rome were the 777-200 is located. We did not get to go on the test flight due to the FAA deeming that the aircraft is not suitable for flight due to the fact that the emergency lighting was not functioning.. We got a great tour however... I had my first run in with the TSA on the ramp area. He stopped us and said that we needed to show him our badges. The Captain of the 777 told him that he was giving us a tour and that we were both pilots. He said I dont care and then we pulled out our pilot licenses (My student certificate) and he said not good enough but I will let it slide. He then proceeded to tell me to burn the film in my camera when I got home when I told him it was a digital camera. The captain told him that I was perfectly fine and he walked away muttering. Nonetheless, great tour!
