Default What is the status of the 767 winglet program
I know AA was getting them installed and Delta. Are these 767 with winglets flying yet?

Finally approved. The first one flew in revenue yesterday. 767-300ER don't remember the tail #. I think it flew to Hawaii. Two more should be flying by April.

Looks like this:

6% fuel savings, or better.

That even with all the added extra weight for the wing box strengthening.

N389AA, already in revenue service as of 3/7. She looks great.

If you want to see what one looks like... just take a look at a 737-800 with the winglets. They are very easy to be mistaken at first look from far off. Long, fat, with big winglets.
