    1 of 3 aircraft I'm working on turns today...still has that new airplane smell. It's a new build (<800 hrs and <400 cyc) but, an aircraft type that first flew about 35 years ago and went into commercial service 34 years ago.

    Yes, those flat panel displays are part of a modification we're doing...some prior to and some after acceptance. The 767 is not as sweet as the 777 to work on but, it's still a very nice aircraft compared to some of the Douglas and Airbii I work on...

    Those yokes look skimpy to me. Should've made them fatter

    They're pretty standard size unless you're rocking a newer bus or similar equiped.

    Working for a regional or major?

    Also, you should meet @TOY33. He is interested in getting started in flying but is a little on the older side. I think you could help him figure out what it takes to get into the front of a jet.
