Boeing 767-200
The Boeing 767-200 was the original version of Boeing's first twin-engine widebody, entering service in 1982 alongside the narrow-body 757, with which it shares a common cockpit and pilot type rating. Its twin-aisle cabin let airlines offer widebody comfort on routes too thin for a three- or four-engine jet, at a time when twinjets still faced tight overwater range restrictions. The extended-range 767-200ER later became one of the first twinjets certified for long transoceanic routes under expanded ETOPS rules, opening new non-stop city pairs across the Atlantic and Pacific. Relatively few standard -200s were built compared with the larger -300, and most surviving examples now fly as freighters.
