I stand corrected, though in my defense I posted it as it was given to me.

Is the "post mod" the mod for the windshield "frame" on the 9, or is it something else? One other thing, what is a 767PC? What's the PC stand for?

Thanks.

ABX currently operates 24 B767-200 PC's (Package Carrier), 5 B767-200SF (Special Freighter) and 13 B767-200SF Advanced (Special freighter with flat panel avionics mod). Some of the PC's are being re-configured with rollers in the belly compartments to allow the carriage of standard sized lower deck containers.

I stand corrected. I was thinking about ABX selling the -205/231's to a bank and leasing them back with the bank discovering the aircraft were really next to worthless. It was subsequent to that little move that the last 5 ex ANA -281 got the SF conversion.
