Latest ABX 767 Freighter

Word has it that the next 767 will be picked up early next week and is scheduled to return from Israel via Brussels. Brussels - ILN is planned to have a fed on board and will be a proving flight. Just food for thought.

That's cool. Congratulations. But what's your point?

 

[abexpilot]

No particular point. Just wondering out loud what the Germans have in store for our future.

Have they picked a city for this one yet?

 

[AV8OR]

I take it that this one has a cargo door mod?

 

[abexpilot]

All future 767's will have a door. Rumor is that the existing C-container 767's will be converted. Israeli Aircraft supposedly said that they could put the door in one every 90 days. Jury is still out whether this will happen. My guess is that it probably will.

Every 90...sure makes since. What about the floor question I've heard about. Is there or was there an issue with the floor or something of the mod 767's? Also, is everything in the fleet CAT III or just the 767's?

Last, what's the typical BOW and MTOW of the 767's?

Glad to hear things are looking a little better than they seemed in Nov.

Steamgauge,

Why does your reply drip with sarcasm?

I think you know what the point is, things are changing-for both sides.

I have no idea about the engineering involved, though I have heard that there are issued about the floor. 767's are CAT III and the rest are CAT II. I am also ignorant about the specs on the 767. Maybe someone else can help.

Meant "issues" rather than "issued"
