The other way around, I believe. N330AA (Friday's fire) was a 767-200 (-223 if memory serves) with CF6-80A2 donks - the baseline 767 for primarily domestic routes. N654US (US Airways PHL 9/2000) was a -200ER with -80C2B2's; bigger fan, an extra LPT and booster (LPC) stage for better SFC for international routes.

And that last batch of pix from OVERTALK leads me to correct my earlier statement of a double engine failure; the chunk of HPT disc from #1 JUST MISSED #2's turbomachinery, although I have no idea how.

In all likelihood #2 could have continued running.
