Aviation 101 Boeing 767
The twin engine Boeing 767 was designed beginning in the 1970's as a smaller wide-body airliner following the successful four engine 747. The 767 was developed in tandem with the narrow-body twinjet 757 and included many similar features which simplified design, operation, as well as flight crew training. The first 767, operated by United Airlines, entered commercial service in Sept. 1982. As of July 2015, 1161 aircraft had been ordered with 1078 having been delivered to the customer by that date. In 1986 Boeing began studies on a higher capacity 767, which ultimately led to the development of the 777, a larger wide-body twinjet.

Accident: The aircraft experienced structural failure of the upper fuselage following a hard landing in Santa Cruz VVI following a flight from Miami. According to at least one source the plane landed nose-first and high winds were apparently a factor. Substantial damage was sustained by the aircraft but no known injuries were suffered by the passengers or flight crew. The aircraft was repaired on the apron at VVI by Boeing technicians and returned to service.

The accident: On 25 Aug 2005 CP-2426 was parked at Miami International Airport to ride out the approaching Hurricane Katrina. Wind gusts of at least 90 mph that evening pushed the aircraft into an adjacent blast fence damaging the wing root area and the engine cowling. (see photo) The damage sustained was estimated at $3.5 million. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service.

Los K-8 llegaron a Bolivia recién en 2011,no en 1993. La pista podría ser la de Tarija.
