3-4 or so, on the initial announcement with ultimately 20+ probable. JAL's website lists 28 owned 767-300ERs. Don't be surprised for them to buy them all. They bought JAL's entire MD-11 fleet.

Are your 767's glass or steam gauges? I saw a YouTube video on the UPS page that showed a new delivery of a 767 and it was still round dials, I was under the assumption that all the new 767's coming off the line were glass.

All are traditional 767-type avionics, but they will be retrofitting the fleet with Rockwell Collins flat-panel LCD displays (I think like the KC46 has).
