The Boeing 767: An Unlikely Port in the Current Storm
Boeing has been building the 767 for four decades: an incredibly long time for a single generation of a commercial jet. In theory, it ought to be obsolete: Boeing and top rival Airbus have each introduced multiple new wide-body jet models since the 767 entered service in 1982.

The 757 could be 'still going strong' too...
Agree. Could have been the basis for a whole string of variants like the 737.
