50ftqueenie or can I call you 50'

You are right but about six months late on the 767 story. Our flight tech manager did in fact take a 767 to Patuxent River last year - the photo's of a BA 767 with two F-18 Hornets tucked in close were published in our Fleet mag. One was even computer enhanced to add hose and drogue equipement for realism. These tests were sponsored by Boeing and the firm that would undertake any conversions. For their efforts the the BA crew were rewarded with a full tank of "gas" to get home. (pity it was wide-cut kerosene!!)

As for A330's it would be logical given the recent shift to Airbus but I am busily promoting the 767-400 counter rumour......
