Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) yesterday (February 2) marked a proud moment in the company’s history at a ceremonial rollout of the 1,000th 767 airplane. Hundreds of current employees, joined by Boeing retirees who worked on the first 767, gathered to celebrate the occasion at the Everett, WA factory.

The 1,000th airplane is 767-381 ER (extended range) registered JA622A (msn 40567), a passenger model for ANA (All Nippon Airways) and was the final 767 to complete assembly on the current production line. Final production work already is underway on the 1,001 unit in a new, smaller bay that repositions the production line toward a leaner, more efficient operation.
