At UPS the 767 is by far the most versitile aircraft in our fleet. Also with how low it sits to the ground it’s very ground crew ready. 767-300 is a beautiful aircraft.

Please discuss the 767-100 (And the 757-100 and 777-100!)

[Gameflyer]

Probably the widebody aircraft I've flown the most.

It also has a bright future in the military, being the KC767 variant which replaces the KC135 midair refueller.

The Boeing 767-200/ER and 300/ER served Qantas very well from 1985 to 2014. The most versitile aircraft the airline ever had. You'd see them flying on short hops like Melbourne to Sydney or on long haul sectors like Sydney to Hong Kong.

[deedubya]

Made a pretty fair glider too as I recall.

[christopherkozal]

Surprised DJ didn’t mention the most recent big customer…the US Gov with the KC Refueler variant.

It's amazing how fast the 767 can get up. Like the 757, it can climb in the high 3s to 4, 000ft/min up to 10, 000. Watching its vertical speed is something else. Another great feature like the 75, is its ability to initial cruise at higher alts compared to say the 76-4 which usually tops out around FL300, FL320 initially. You can get up to FL360 then FL380 pretty easily on the 763 and 752.

This has always been my favorite plane as a passenger. In coach it’s 2-3-2. It’s the absolute BEST layout for ease of access and general usability. They will be sorely missed when they are gone.

The 767 was my first wide body aircraft to fly fromAmsterdam to Atlanta by Delta. Other companies were Air Canada from Vancouver to London Heatrow in the ir 767-200. The -400 was not flown. The former Dutch charter Martinair flew me twice in their 767 to Tenerife on holiday charter. A very nice plane to see and to remember their comfortable flights.

One of the best widebody aircraft in the world

[bsd]

You didn’t talk about all about the unique cross-section that was focused on passenger comfort. This was a big deal and selling point when the 767 was initially developed

i fly for a VA (virtual airline) on xplane 11, i remember like 5 or 6 years ago getting type rated in my VA to fly the 767 and falling in love with it, the size and weight of it is quite manageable and it lands like a dream. It is a very cool aircraft and one that i have come to know real well and love. I will be sad when they are mostly retired off. I am a huge Delta fan and I see them being phased off pretty quickly in the near future.

I flew on that last Continental version between Newark and Rome in 2006. Beautiful plane. I was lucky enough to snag a bulkhead window seat just behind Business First in the “mini cabin” at the front of the coach section. That mini cabin had only 3 rows of 7 seats abreast and felt so much more private than the back of such a large jet. There were 3 lavatories behind. The center lavatory was huge.

[EmAviation]

Perfect timing haha, I just got to fly on the 767-400 for the first time yesterday!

[joecrammond]

when i was a kid, i flew on the 767 from Gatwick to Orlando Sandford airport back in 2002, me, my nan and younger brother were heading for a two week stay in Disneyland Florida, I had the window seat on the journey there, my brother was sat next to me with my nan across the aisle, on the way back we were in the aisle and i suffered from jet lag

The 767 is the most beautiful airliner to have ever existed! Thank you to those who invented it 😍😍

[jmWhyMe]

I still maintain that the formula for the mid market is easy. A 76max with the 763E fuselage, the 78 wings, engines, fly by wire, cockpit, etc, and voila! The 76-8 Max, built with existing parts, very little pilot training needed. Since 76 and 78 are same weight class, wings and engines should be compatible.!

767 is my fav twin engine widebody every, and my 2nd fav aircraft (only behind the 747). I think 767 is one of, if not the most underrated twin engine widebody airplane ever produced. Nowadays when we talk about twin engine widebody, people will always immidaitely think about A330, 777, 787, or A350. 767 is such a robust aircraft, you can deploy it on almost any role, passenger, freighter, long haul, medium, short haul, and it always perform really well, japanese airlines, especially JAL and ANA has long relied on it for their high density domestic routes, many european LCCs operated 767s for many of their leasure routes, and as we know, the freighter version is still in production, and is still a staple workhorse among cargo airlines. Unfortunately, i have never had the chance to fly on one, and i hope i could find the chance to fly on one, although the chance seems slim since so many airliens are retiring the passenger variant

[rontiemens]

Great report on a great aircraft. Thank you!

There were no "Small Wide Body" aircraft at the time when the 707 was in production, instead, Boeing was producing the 727 trijet, and the 1st gen 737. The 747 was the very first Wide Body jetliner, and it was the Airbus A-300 that started the creation of the widebody twinjets, coupled with the adoption of the ETOPS regs, in the early 80's, spurred Boeing into developing the aircraft known as the 767.
