  1. Any idea what is going to happen to the KC767? Or is it just scrapped?

  2. The fuselage sections was trucked over to the rail terminal today, the small pieces were loaded into a scrap truck.

  3. What was the LN for the KC767 prototype? It was obviously a passenger plane before.

  5. Ryan... It doesn't look like the KC was ever a pax hauler... It was built from scratch by Boeing and nicknamed the "Frankentanker" because of its hodgepodge of parts and assemblies... http://www.aviationweek.com/Blogs.aspx?plckBlogId=Blog:7a78f54e-b3dd-4fa6-ae6e-dff2ffd7bdbb&plckPostId=Blog%3A7a78f54e-b3dd-4fa6-ae6e-dff2ffd7bdbbPost%3A28edf939-2eb0-461d-a83a-f8f330aade3f
