The Fall Of The Boeing 767

Boeing achieved true long-haul prominence in the 1970s when its iconic 747 family took to the skies. It changed long-distance travel forever. But Boeing found that it needed to complement the 747 with a smaller widebody design. This eventually saw the development of the twinjet 767. Let’s take a look at the life of the 767 program...

"Fall" sounds so negative, it had a long and successful career and will continue to work as a freighter. I think it's a happy retirement.

The 767 was left within a very spacious cockpit, apparently after the flight engineer position was automated. This allowed for two jump seats. A very kindly AC captain gave me and my then ten-year-old son a pre 9/11 jump seat ride across the Rockies and into YVR at sunset. Those days are gone forever.

[@quillmaurer6563]

My understanding is a few early 767s did use flight engineers, I think it was an option or something that a few airlines took, or maybe was necessary initially before automation caught up or laws allowed two-crew operation of such a large aircraft. Makes sense the cockpit bulkhead layout was kept and thus a very spacious cockpit once it was removed.

It has the widest economy seats of any current plane. Boeing never managed to force another seat in like with B777 and B787. Boeing's next plane should be the width of the 767. Make short and long fuselage versions. It could replace the very aging 737 and capture the mid-size market.

Fantastic aircraft. Really the benchmark for reliability and safety. I don’t think there was an airline who operated them who was disappointed in their performance. I remember my first flight on one was in 1984, on a TWA 767-200, JFK-LAX, and I remember how incredibly quiet it was, compared to other jets of the day. It’s still fairly quiet even by today’s standards. Boeing could have easily redesigned the wings and put new engines on it, and it would have sold extremely well, but would have cannibalized 787 sales, which they invested so heavily in. I like the 787 as well, but it’s too bad they both couldn’t co-exist. Still. 40+ years is a great run for any aircraft program. Boeing can confidently check the 767 off as a success story.

I’ve never flown on one, you’re hard pushed to find them in the region where I live. Even so, most 767s that do operate around here are operated by JAL and ANA, and most are less than 15 years old, so they have the upgraded interior from the 777, some even have mood lighting. So if I were to get on one, there’s a good chance I won’t get the authentic 767 experience with the 1980s interior. Still, it’s very slowly disappearing from passenger use, so I should jolly well get on one next time I go to Japan.

Between freighters, both new build and converted, and military tankers the 767 will be around for years to come. It really has become almost the perfect freighter.

Being a 767 fan, and a military aviation geek at the same time, I think good condition 767-200ERs and/or -300ERs could be converted to either tankers or AWACS planes. It would be less costly than building new planes outright. Those converted aircraft could also be offered to other countries for export.

I used to regularly fly on the 1717 BA departure from Paris to London on a Friday evening. The 767 was always packed with passengers maxed out with cabin baggage. Every available space in the cabin was full and the chances of evacuating in an emergency always looked slim. The flight was a climb, about 5 minutes of cruise and then the descent into London. Manoeuvring was constant and it must have been non-stop frantic activity for the flight crew in the crowded skies. The cabin crew had to serve the in flight refreshments in the limited time and they used to run up and down the aisles to get it done. I used to think it was the airborne equivalent of a London commuter train.

As a mechanic, I worked on the B767 for years. By far my favorite aircraft. Easy to work on. Except the Bad cargo door lift actuators.

It's not dead yet, I flew on a Delta 767-300 last week.

Love flying Delta 767s. Flew a brand new -400 MCO-ATL and -300 DEN-ATL in first class. Unforgettable!

[@TJHofNZ]

I've flown Air NZ and Qantas -200ERs and -300ERs. Love the 7 abreast seating, always felt spacious. Most interesting memory was on El Al from BKK to TLV flying up the middle of the Red sea

[@petegrantham3985]

I flew the 767 direct from Frankfurt to Pittsburgh. In Condors business class it was a fantastic experience. Wish they still ran that flight

The 767 didn't fall. It's just waiting to rise again.

Nah it's dead. Production was close to ending then the KC-46 production started and fedex made a big order for them.

Thank you for sharing this video. I loved flying there 767-300s down to San Paulo, Brazil and London, UK. It was nice.

[@stuartaaron613]

It's fitting that this video was released today. Thirty years ago today (this morning) I flew on my one and only flight on a 767. Delta from New York City - LaGuardia to Atlanta. I loved the 2-3-2 seating, meaning you are only one seat from an aisle.

First plane I ever flew business class on (w/ United), will always be a special plane but I'm not sad to see it replaced by the 787

[@moriver3857]

My most memorable experience with the 767-200F, was flying from the Midwest US to the east coast as a flight mechanic (engineer) 20+ years ago where we climbed to FL470 in clear daylight, while watching other traffic below us. At that height a slight curvature of the horizon was visible. A truly fantastic and very versatile airplane indeed. Miss them.

Also Used in the MILITARY..

Memories of the 767. So very many! I really loved flying that airplane. It was the easiest airplane to land of any I have yet experienced. The 4 ailerons and smoothness of roll input response was fantastic. I was about to retire early in 1999 when I unexpectedly snagged a 767 international bid. A reserve Captain, 2nd from the bottom of the reserve list isn't ideal for quality of life, but Oh Man! Given the choice of flying the top job available at my airline at that time or going out early was an agonizing decision. I elected to stay and fly it. We got the A-330 shortly after that, and I bid it for the pay raise, flying that until retiring a few years later. But I missed the 76. Having flown the 72, 73, 75 and 76, I'm a Boeing guy and the Bus just doesn't resonate with me.

I’ve once been on an American Airlines 767 with seat back IFE when I was 13 in 2008(a rare configuration) and watched Madagascar 2 on it. It was a very comfortable plane and it’s quieter than a Boeing 737NG, I also liked how the reading light buttons are on the armrest instead of the ceiling.

[@BRTripReport]

Great aircraft! The 767 was the aircraft that took me from GIG to MIA on my first AA flight, great times! I think it's a natural choice for passenger airlines to switch from 767 to the 787. It's great to see that cargo still has a very special place for the 767. LATAM's cargo division will convert some passenger 767 to cargo versions soon...
