American Quietly Retires Last Boeing 767-200 - Widebody Was Mainstay of Transcon Flights for Past Decade
The end of an era came at American Airlines as its last widebodies serving in its flagship transcon routes made their last flights and were replaced by smaller, narrow-body Airbus A321Ts. The airline’s last two Boeing 767-200s, planes that had been deployed on the highly-competitive routes linking New York with Los Angeles and San Francisco, have flown their final missions.

A great and reliable airplane I agree, but not as good looking as the 757 or the 787. Those airplanes look like they mean business and were MEANT to fly!!
Haven't never seen an 87 up close but flew a 57 for about 23 years. One high steppin' lady.
We traded our 57 for a new 67-200-ER that I personally spec'd in 09 just before retiring the first time and they took delivery in late 11 after the interior mod and all. Before I went back, I went back up and got well checked out on it, but there was really no comparison. It was nice and a lot roomier in the pointy end and panels and all were nearly identical but the looks and performance couldn't hold a candle
The 757 is the best lookin airliner made back then single aisle or not. It is the hot rod of the skies and could outclimb anything else. It still does to this day.
An absolute racehorce, and in it's early days, to be called HEAVY because of the wake, you felt like a super hero sitting in the left seat. LOL
