I believe I was the one who mentioned the Boeing 777 - or at least one
of the mentioners. The Ada Information Clearinghouse used to have this
sort of success story on-line, but they went out of business. Check this
URL as a starting point:

http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/

Somewhere on that web page you might find links which will lead you to
the Boeing "Ada Success Story"

Look in the "Ammunition" department. I found these links there:

http://www.adahome.com/Ammo/Success/cranehy.html
http://www.adahome.com/Ammo/Success/sunstra.html

This is probably not the comprehensive story. You may want to try
contacting Boeing directly or finding their web page...
