History

The Boeing 767 was Boeing’s first twin-engine wide body jet airliner and became very popular on the world’s airways. The 767-400ER was the final version of the 767 to be offered but only a handful were manufactured.

The Boeing 767 began as design studies in 1972 for an airliner to replace the older Boeing 707.

This evolved into a twin aisled medium range and capacity airliner similar to the Airbus A.300.

It was launched in July 1974, planned to be produced in three versions of different lengths of which the 767-400 was the longest version.

The first 767-400ER made its maiden flight on 9 October 1999. However only 37 were ordered, by Continental and Delta.

They were all still in service in 2012.

This model represents N828MH of Delta Air Lines, c.2010.
