Even the ugliest plane in the world would look magnificent receiving the water cannon salute – and the Boeing 777 is certainly not the ugliest plane in the world.

In fact, some might argue it is probably one of the best-looking airliners on the planet.

This giant was developed in the 1990s to bridge the gap between the 767 and 747, but it ended up sort of (indirectly) replacing both, along with the 787.

Watch this 777 go through the water salute ritual at London Stansted Airport in the clip shared by TopFelya above.
