Field marks

  1. The narrowest true widebody flying — noticeably fatter cross-section than a 757 but visibly slimmer than an A330 or 777
  2. Four wheels on each main landing-gear leg, same count as an A330 or 747, but the two-aisle-yet-slim body tells it apart from both
  3. Plain wingtips on most airframes — an upturned blade tip does not rule it out, since retrofits are common but not universal
  4. A large share of what is flying today are windowless freighters — check for a visible cargo door and no cabin windows

Size and shape, to scale

Photos can't hold a consistent scale from shot to shot — these silhouettes are all drawn at the same 10 px = 1 m scale, so the proportions here are trustworthy even though the photos above aren't.

Variant notes

  • The stretched -300ER dominates the surviving fleet; the shorter original -200 is comparatively rare
  • A large active freighter population (FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon Air) keeps the 767 common in the sky even as passenger retirements continue
  • Aviation Partners blended upturned wingtip blades were retrofitted on many -300ERs (Delta, American, JAL, plus FedEx/UPS freighters) starting 2009, but most airframes worldwide still fly plain tips
