Hi all,

My latest issue of Aviation Week has several references to a Boeing
787. In one istance they called it the 767 successor. (Ethopian
airlines is ordering 5)

Is that what used to be the 7e7? If so, I missed that changeover
entirely!

Just curious ...

Looks like they're one and the same:

Due to a large order from China they renamed it to 787. 8 is lucky number in
China. China is a big market...
