The 767 lives on!
Things that make you go hmmmmm.................
Looks like we won't have to wait for Air Canada's planes or anybody else's for that matter.
"Production of Boeing's 767 has slowed to about one plane a month, but a source told the Seattle Public Intelligencer that Boeing expects a large freighter order soon, which will allow the commercial line to remain open until at least 2010"

I looked all over the SPI website and did find a reference to the one plane a month but that was buried in an article about the tanker program.
Couldn't find anything about a freighter order.

"Large freighter order" discussion is near the end of the article.

New 767 in Purple? No way!
Come on, do you really think Fred will buy new 76's when all those used ones will be on the market soon? And isn't it a fact that our containers are not optimized for that airframe? On the other hand, we did buy other Boeings...so...oh well....as my wife knows...I am usually wrong anyways.

The only reason I figured this is because the 767 has been a real workhorse for UPS. They keep going and are reliable. Plus all the Asian carriers seem to only be getting "big" equipment.
