From: not where I want to be
horizon flyer: The Hudson and one in Canada that ran out of fuel, mixed up liters and lbs when loading think it was an airbus.
The Canadian 'plane was a 767 IIRC, but you have the issue correct.

Sometimes this incident is put forward as an example of how lucky they were it was a Boeing and not an Airbus, as there could have been trouble 'crossing up' an Airbus. Not having flown either I couldn't comment, but certainly I'd not want to fly something that prevented me from doing what had to be done!

FP.
