Boeing 767 - The Aircraft That Changed Aviation...

[@keithmiller2714]

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.

[@boondockduane]

Love watching our local UPS 767 fly over my backyard 5-6 days a week Was one of my favorite to fly on with Delta when it was introduced

[@Diodorus79]

I loved the 767-200

[@bsd107]

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

[@Gameflyer001]

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.

[@kkrsnn5632]

yeah especially the tender for it was 'bright' ;) Anyway a very likeable and decent aircraft, always fun to watch 😁

[@johnosbourn4312]

Which is known in the USAF as the KC-46A Pegasus.

[@FLT111]

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.

[@deedubya286]

Made a pretty fair glider too as I recall.

Merry Christmas DJ

[@nurrizadjatmiko21]

One of the best widebody aircraft in the world

[@Jack3md]

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.

[@dougcargill6730]

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.

[@christopherkozal7987]

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

[@EmAviation]

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

[@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.!

[@rontiemens2553]

Great report on a great aircraft. Thank you!

[@bsd107]

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

[@brick1357]

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.

[@ariebertversteeg4347]

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. Greetings from the Netherlands by Arie Bert Versteeg.

[@United_Continental_767]

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

[@ericjones7769]

What a gorgeous plane the 767s 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@johnosbourn4312]

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.

[@midcenturymoldy]

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.

[@joecrammond6221]

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

[@FilipusWisnumurti]

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

[@KensoranAV]

I agree

[@richardneilan2392]

I've flown the 767 multiple times over the years, including SEA-ATL and ATL-SLC (Delta), SJU-PHL (USAirways), PHL-LGW (American), and between MCO-ATL at least a dozen times. While not my favorite aircraft, it has definitely stood the test of time. I'm scheduled fly a Delta 767 ATL-LGW in February 2023. I wonder if that might be my last experience. Wishing you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, Dj, and all the very best for a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!

[@Sacto1654]

Interesting factoid: in 1966, American Airlines' then-CEO C.R. Smith proposed a widebody twinjet using the same engines developed for the Boeing 747 for USA domestic operations. In effect, the 767 fulfilled that very promise.

[@Tomcatters]

I LOVE B767, it was my favorite plane until the arrive of B777, it will always have a special place in my heart! and B767-300ER is my favorite variant as B777-300ER it is now! Until today B767 is the plane that i flew most! I love the iconic AA classic livery on it, but TransBrasil Airlines with rainbow tail, blue wing, white body is my favorite, a true workhorse, trusty and such a beautiful plane!

[@Tpr_1808]

It really served Air Zimbabwe for decades

[@kevina4140]

When Boeing was run by engineers and not Wall Street boys.

[@j3j326]

B767 and B777 look very similar but have Key differences BA Retired them early. Such an interesting aircraft.

[@TonyM132]

At 1:54, two errors back to back - Airbus is credited with the first two crew widebody airplane, with a special "Forward Facing" version of the A300B4-200 first delivered to Garuda Indonesia in January 1982, eight months before United began service with the first 767. You said that "until 1981" United used a three crew cockpit (in the 767). But the first 767 didn't enter service until September 1982.

[@cskvision]

I actually preferred flying on the 767 more than the 777 or 787. It was quieter and had wider economy seats, on AC

[@jasongomez5344]

No mention of the KC-46 military tanker variant? That's a large part of its future.

[@JayJayAviation]

A massively underrated aircraft. I don’t know why everyone hates it lol

[@ezequielynoa8845]

I flew that Delta N180DN 😊

[@davidtjahjadi5079]

I am from South East Asia, can someone tell me the reason why we don't see much of this aircraft and the 757 too in this part of the world?

[@DHDAviation]

Still my favorite Boeing aircraft ❤️

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

Boeing should have aggressively marketed the B767-400 ER over the B767-300 ER . . . by the time B767-400 ER entered active service the B767 market was already saturated by the B767-300 ER . . . not to mention the B777-200 LR & the stretched B777-300 ER another twin engined wide body jet that offered more pax capacity & greater range over the B767-400 ER . . . that was the kill shot for the B767 series once & for all . . . cargo variants of the B767 turned out to be successful & are still in production namely the B767-300 ERF that competes head on with the A330-200 F & A330-300 ACF in the air freight market . . . infact the B767-300 ERF has outsold both the A330-200 F & A330-300 ACF by a factor of 5 : 1 . . . the B767 was also adapted by the USAF as KC-76A multi mission mid-air refuelling tanker aircraft which is based on the B767-200 ER airframe . . . in the near future both the B767-300 ER & B767-400 ER can be adapted to serve as a multi mission AEW&C aircraft . . . the Indian Air Force is strongly considering acquiring 12 second hand B767-300 ER for it's upcoming indigenous multi mission mid-air refuelling tanker aircraft by 2024 . . . word is the air force is planning to acquire a fleet of five second hand B767-400 ER (retired) that will be converted to BBJ specification for heads of state . . . it'll replace the aging B737-300 Adv VIP aircraft that has been in service with the air force since 1989 . . .

[@bsd107]

I agree that the 767-400ER and 757-300 both came too late. But by the time they did come, it was Boeing doing a budget job when they should have really be developing the 7E7 (i.e. 787) earlier.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

@@bsd107 you got a point there . . . in case of the B767 Boeing could have offered just two variants either the B767-200 ER & B767-300 ER or the B767-300 ER & B767-400 ER . . .

[@michaelosgood9876]

The big ? at the time. Why 7 abreast? Still is. And the oddball LD2 container that was created for this plane snd this plane only, lacking interchangeability with other widebodys in airlines fleets. And the costs associated with implementing the LD2 when operators could have chosen the 'other' widebody twin with LD3 containers like the 747s, DC10s & L1011s in their fleet. It amazes me how Boeing sold so many 767s, because, to me, it's design never made a lot of operating sense

[@shrimpflea]

707 was not a wide body aircraft.

[@ronparrish6666]

Flew on Air Canada a few times very nice plane but there was a Charter Air Line that flew from Toronto to Europe using a767 with 8 abreast seating i think they were called Zoom Airlines painted Al blue god what a trip couldn't breathe for 8 hours no room that should be criminal

[@mattevans4377]

There's been talk of a re-engined 767 freighter to meet new emissions standards, which could also be turned into a passenger version to replace 757s and older 767s for operators that still use them. There might not be massive demand, but if you are already making a new freighter version, what would be the harm in offering a passenger version? Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if Boeing missed the opportunity, as Boeing's worst enemy is Boeing itself.

[@mindwalk2007]

I have a queston? The 767nwas launched in 1978 and entered service four years later but the 777X was launched in 2013 and will not enter service until 2025. Why are things taking so much longer now? Boeing needs to take a good, hard look at itself and ask how and why they got things done so much quicker back in those days....

[@mauretaniafan1133]

probably just angered 747 fans, a300 fans, a320 fans and l1011 fans

[@FeRnAnDo1538]

I’m sorry to disagree But you should talk about de Airbus A300, the real gamechanger and developed 10 years before the Boeing 767: a twin-engine aircraft that broke ETOPs regulation.

[@Peizxcv]

It copied everything from A300. Amazingly your entire video skipped mentioning of Airbus

[@wadehiggins1114]

Stumpy! The max and nightmareliner are just disasters!

[@ON-tk7bp]

One of the worst passenger aircraft.
