boeing 767

Kind of like a 757, kind of like a 777. Looks like both but is obese when next to a 757 and anorexic when compared to a 777. Comes in a baby -200, a pedestrian -300 and a way-too-large-for-its-engines -400. The 767 is fairly reliable, and competitively efficient. It's out shined on many levels by the Airbus A330, which is a snooty all-electronic penalty box flown by a joystick. The 767 is more engaging and sounds better. The A330 is the one the airlines choose. Why? Because, hey, it's European and looks like an angry Twinkie. The engines that power the seven-six are the same as those on the seven-five. So the 767 is the chubby kid in gym class trying really really hard on a diet consisting of a donut for breakfast and a feeling-guilty salad for dinner and that's it.
