767 Program Future
 The Boeing 767 is the world leader in widebody capability and efficiency
 Proven passenger airplane, freighter and tanker
– Over 1,000 767s delivered to more than 70 operators worldwide
– 99% dispatch reliability
 Recent FedEx Express orders of 42 767 freighters reinforces the 767 as the
preferred mid-sized freighter by leading cargo operators
– Enables long term production continuity
 Expected to lead market in mid-sized freighter/cargo sales for both commercial
and military applications
 Commercial 767s will remain in service for many decades directly benefiting
O&M aspects of the USAF KC-46 Program
