Hi Guys,

With just three left in service the end is nigh for US Air's B767 fleet.... 

N256AY B762 (26847) flew its last revenue service on 5/2 & will be stored along with N249AU (23901).

Disposition of the B762s, which used to be regular visitors to Gatwick, is as follows:

N245AY (23897 ex N603P, N645US) stored at Goodyear, AZ
N246AY (23898 ex N604P, N646US) stored at Kansas City, MO

Hi Bill. Was at Goodyear in November. Not the best shot but here is N245AY (with the nose of 255 poking out) in store then. Lots of better stuff there though!
