The 777 and all Boeing aircraft prior to the 787 IIRC use hydromechanical controls, not fly by wire, so yes they would require some modification.

I was attempting to amend my post when my phone flaked out. It's a mechanical column to fly by wire. I was wrong.
But of you read about the alleged BUAP, it would still require modification. It is supposed to be separate from all aircraft power and computer systems, which odd why it can't be disconnected.

But, if you run it through the FBW system, the crew can pull the breakers and disconnect it.
But we agree on this that BUAP didn't do it. I have yet to see anything but a patent that proves it's real.

No, the 777 is fly-by-wire, i remembered the fuzz in the news when they launched the 777 as the "first" commercial airplane that used the fly-by-wire system.

What would Airbus say...
"The A320 was the first civil airliner to include a full digital fly-by-wire flight control system."

True but the Boeing version was the first not to fly into a forest on it's maiden flight.

Says you. But if you run it through the existing software it can be interrupted by pulling a braker. The parent clearly says it has its own power supply separate from the aircraft.
In March 2014, I posted a very important terrorism-prevention story that revealed that a near-identical twin of the missing Malaysian plane, that was Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, was sitting in a hangar in Tel Aviv. The article, "Are the Israelis Planning Another 9-11 Using the Missing Boeing 777?" pointed out, with photos and documentation, that a plane, very similar to the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft, that had been obtained by a Florida-based company called GA Telesis for dismantling in the United States, was actually being kept secretly in a hangar in Israel. What, pray tell, was a plane, nearly identical to the missing MH370, doing in an Israeli hangar? Because this was such a suspicious and ominous development that clearly had the very real potential to become another 9/11-type attack, I delved further into the questions surrounding this mysterious plane in Israel and its relationship with the missing MH370 in a series of articles: - See more at: bollyn.com...
No. The airworthiness directive seemed to apply to many 777 models OTHER THAN the one used for MH370, the 777-200ER:

Couldn't one consider ALL Boeing 777s "near identical twin(s)"?
You can see the 777-200ER isn't listed, so there are differences. Funny how all the other models had a fault that could cause this type of crash, but not the model that actually crashed?
On June 12th 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for Boeing Airplanes, specifically the 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER and -777F.
Agreed.
The simple fact that a 777 is in a hangar in Israel doesn't mean anything.

The 777-200ER narrows it down a bit but there are still over 420 of that model alone in service.
Agreed.
