Delta Air
Lines Boeing 767-432ER N840MH (c/n
29718)
Chronologically
this entry should be placed later down in the list, but I am electing
to put all the767s
together,
even though the first 767-432ERs did not come on stream until late in
2000. In fact, the
airlines' 100th
767 was a series 432ER. In addition to more lengthening, this
aircraft features new
wing tips (although not exactly of
the turned up winglets of Aviation Partners' Boeing 737 variety)
and a Boeing 777 style glass cockpit. Steve
Hill's nice shot above shows a late model ER departing
Hartsfield Airport, Atlanta in Sept
2004. This aircraft replaced the trusty Lockheed Tristars
and
McDonnell
Douglas MD-11s which were finally withdrawn in 2004. In so doing,
Delta became an
all twin-jet airline. I
wonder why they have been registered in the MH series? Surely
there were
more DA; DE; DL series left?
How about "DT"? But MH?
