So let's celebrate, here is a video from 1966 celebrating the new DC-9! And to keep the party going, stop by the training center, take a look at the future of the greatest DC-9 derivative, the MD-88! http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1298680383 Not a photo shop. |

Boeing wining that contract means that the 764 line will remain open and they may want to give a few "deal" on some jets.....

The tanker will be almost a unique aircraft with a 400 type cockpit with a bunch of differences and a 200 fuselage. I don't think any of that will translate over to Boeing opening up 767 400 production again.

Boeing's proposed KC-767 NewGen Tanker for the US Air Force incorporates the wing and fuselage from the 767-200, the cargo door and floor from the 767-300F and the cockpit from the 767-400ER. The offering, which is currently being evaluated by the USAF along with the EADS North America KC-45 for an initial 179-aircraft requirement, will also feature a new boom. NewGen Tanker programme manager Jean Chamberlin says the new boom will have "a wider envelope than the KC-10 and is fully digitalised". She declines to provide more details for proprietary reasons but says it will "absolutely" be developed in time for initial operating capability in 2017. The new boom is the biggest difference between the NewGen Tanker and the four delayed KC-767 tankers that Boeing is now preparing to deliver to Italy. "Boeing and the Italian air force will seek to deliver the first two KC-767s by the end of this year," the company says. |
