Boeing 767 Tanker History:
The Boeing 767 is a tanker, transport airliner which originated in the United States and was manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Several 767 variants were introduced including military variant such as the Boeing 767 AST. The commercial 767 first entered service in 1982 and more than 880 aircraft have been delivered. The cabin of the tanker can be configured for passenger transport, as a freighter, convertible (passenger or freighter) or Combi (passenger and freighter).
By far the biggest single customer for the 767 Tanker Transport will be the USAF. The Air Force’s interest in the aircraft stretches as far back as 1990 when an initial study was undertaken which confirmed the aircraft would be suitable as a tanker.
The Boeing 767 Airborne Surveillance Testbed (AST) is a military version of the 767, serving prominently in certain military applications. The Boeing 767 Airborne Surveillance Testbed (AST) features modifications such as a large "cupola" or hump running along the top of the aircraft from above the cockpit to just behind the trailing edge of the wings. There's a suite of infrared seekers that were used to track theater ballistic missile launches in a series of tests. The Boeing 767 AST remains in storage at the Victorville Airport in California for several years before being scrapped in July 2007.
