N769AX is definitely going to DHL Intl ME. Read an excerpt:
"....DHL recently informed ABX that it intends to terminate the sublease of a second Boeing 767 cargo aircraft in April 2017 and thereafter lease that aircraft to its affiliate in the Middle East"
N769AX joins N752AX (reregistered A9C-DHK) and N796AX (reregistered A9C-DHJ) in the DHL Intl ME fleet.

3 763ERs are planned to retire later this year. Although unknown which ones I'm betting it's the oldest ones 171, 172, and 174.

This is the last Air Canada 763 going to Rouge this year (probably forever!) 2 more AC mainline 763s due to be retired later this year. LN 399. 1991 build. Originally delivered to Asiana.

There is clearly something undesirable about 767's built during this awful timeframe - what the hell is it!!!!!! Cripes, there are ones pushing 25 that are still being purchased by Westjet etc, what's going on here!!

This frame actually turned around at HHN while on its way to RME and went back to TLV. Something about a fuel system issue and pumping regarding the center tank. Presumably it will be back on its way to RME soon.
