I got pretty good with it, but its definitely a different beast to land than the 757.

Truth!! Had a Captain tell me "The day you think you have finally figured it out...is the day it will bite you in the a$$...." Thankfully, I never dropped the rubber-jungle.Hoss, for me, just the opposite: I find the 767-300 is the easiest to land airliner I've ever flown, especially in a 5-kt crosswind. 757-200? Stick forces get too high in the flare. 757-300 a lot easier than the -200, but I haven't flown it (or the 767-400) in more than two years.

Btw, the brakes on the 763 are the worst I've seen since the DC-10 -10. Just another reason not to carry extra speed/ power.

BTW anytime you want to have a flying contest, let me know. I can set that up.
