Final assembly has begun on the 1,000th Boeing 767 (all series), and Line Number 1000 has the distinction of going to JA622A (c/n 40567) of All Nippon Airways - ANA, a 767-381ER.
Will there be a special decal on JA622A to note the achievement?
Hopefully, after its delivered and enters service, JA622A will pay a visit to HNL from one of the ANA flights from Tokyo's two airports.

We saw the 1,000th 747 in final assembly at Everett back in 1993. My math could be a little off, but it seems it took the 767 around six years longer than the 747 to hit 1K. Also interesting is that no 747's were delivered last year..
