What kind of aircraft is this?
The Boeing 767 is a twin-engine, twin-aisle (wide-body) jet used for long-haul passenger and cargo flying since the early 1980s.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Not type certificated (e.g. amateur-built / experimental).
There are 7 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Boeing 767 →
