I just type what I type. As long as we understand what the other is saying, I don't care.
I've always typed 744 as there was also a 747 "classic" category.
Northspeak: 57
Southspeak: 7-5
It don't matter.. we both get the idea.
My understanding of the 767-500 is that the 764 was the domestic 767-400 category and the 765 was the international. When they were combined, it's like the 7ER now... all that's left is the international category.
Anyone care to correct my ignorance or verify my understanding?
