While I dont know the date or time, if you miss DLs you can always fly COs! They do fly intercontinentally between EWR and IAH, alongside the 777,764, 757, and 733/5/G/8/9.

I would like to try CO, but this trip will be a mileage run on Delta.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but none of Delta's 767-200's are ER models. I believe all of Delta's transatlantic 767 flying is done by the -300ER model. The -200 is strictly for domestic flying. If you want a -200ER, I believe you'll have to fly CO. And I believe that DL's -200's are among the oldest in the -200 fleet.

Delta's 767-200 are among the first (in fact, one of them I believe is the first) to roll off the Renton assembly line. No, none of them are -ER models and they do not operate on transatlantic flights.
Continental's 767-200's are much newer. They were delivered in 2000 up until 2001 (all 10 models). They have 777 style cabin architecture on the inside and upgraded avionics. They fly mainly from Newark to Europe and South America, as well as from Houston to Sao Paolo. The routes are:

i don't think the 767-200 will be retired for a while...the 762 is the "Spirit of Delta" (i'm refering to that perticular aircraft and not all 762s) and has a place in the heart of employees and FFs.
They will AT LEAST keep the spirit in service as long as humanly possible.

I would expect to see the 767s, all series, in service at the very least until the 7E7 arrives, and then possibly a gradual retirement of their 767 fleet as they transition to the 7E7. Depending on how they continue to perform as the years and hours build up, we may see them for many years to come.

Futureualpilot, my sentiments exactly. The 767-200, both the non-ER and ER models, will begin to be disposed of upon arrival of the 7E7. UAL has already retired a number of their 762s, some of the oldest 762s in the world. If I am correct, UAL's 767-200s are all non-ER models as well, right?

Thanks for the replies. Im going to try for next month.
I thought United had the first 767??
Also Delta 767-200s have flown on trans Atlnatic flights before. I remember in 95 they were all over Europe. They also used to fly to Moscow.

Sushka - Let me correct myself.
The first three 762's were UA. The fifth plane was DL's, and flew on 2/19/82. However, DL was the first to use GE engines, so they were the launch customer for the Boeing/GE variation. I believe Ethopian Airlines, of all airlines, was the first to get the 762ER, in 5/84. JL placed the first order for the 763 in 1983. AA was the launch customer for the 763ER.

Hey Thrust, just a quick question for you, did UA retire some of their 762s or just park em in the desert for a little while?

Thanks for telling me UA does operate 762ER's? I figured some had to be ER's because they were seen at Frankfurt and London-Heathrow frequently in the early 1990s. By the way, AA operates only 762ERs now. Their eight 767-200 non-ER models are all in storage for the time being. AA 762ERs N312AA through N339AA, and N301AA through N308AA are non-ER models.

Hirisk did they fly the L1011 ever to Moscow? I have also seen other pictures at other places of 762s at Moscow.
Futureualpilot, There was a post about United selling the 762 earlier. Apparently all but three are for sale right now

Delta did have a hub in Europe at one point in the 1990s at Frankfurt. Not sure about the routes on which the 762's were used, but I found a few shots of 727s among the 777s, 763s, MD11s, L1011s, and A310s from Pan Am that Delta either formerly or currently uses for FRA routes. 762s could have been operated from here, as it is one of the major hub airports in Europe next to LHR, CDG.

"Of the 15 DL 762's, at least 5 are currently in storage according to Av Letter. No indication whether this is short term or long term storage"
All of Deltas 762s are coming out of storage by summer.
25 Hirisk: sushka,they flew the L10's to FRA then you hopped an airbus of some sort(can't remember which one.maybe a 310?)on to moscow.i might be wrong about the
26 TriStar500: Here's some more info regarding DL's former hub at FRA and also some more details about the use of DL's 762's on intra-European services from this hub
27 Rb211: Doesn't DL still fly the 762 to MSY regularly out of ATL? Mardi Gras has already started and I wanted to take a chance before Fat Tuesday.
28 Cmckeithen: Why don't the USA based airlines just go with the 737-800/900; 767-300ER/400ER: and the 777-200/200ER/300 aircraft. Those are the newer verisons. In m
29 Cmckeithen: Yes....that is primarly the A/C choice by DL out of MSY-ATL they have 1 maybe 2 they use the 767-300. The rest of the flights are done by 767-200s or
30 Cmckeithen: At MSY you could see any one of the following A/C parked at terminal D: CO: CRJ's 737-300 737-700 757-200 757-300 (Seems to be only during Mardi Gras)
31 Cmckeithen: Rb 211 here is what DL operates out of MSY-ATL: Delta 1156 5:00am New Orleans (MSY) 7:20am Atlanta (ATL) Boeing 737-200 Delta 760 6:00am New Orleans (
32 Dvk: I don't think UA's 762's are ER's. That would not keep them from having flown trans-Atlantic in the past. TWA flew non-ER 762's on trans-Atlantic rout
