Boeing is completing the first 767 to be built at the new two-per-month rate on its recently relocated north-facing assembly line in Everett, Wash., as it readies for the start of KC-46A tanker production for the U.S. Air Force in 2013. The manufacturer will mark the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the 767 into service in 2012 and has 56 orders in its firm backlog. That is sufficient to sustain its new 767 production line in Everett's 40-32 bay at the two-per-month rate until 2014, when the tanker is to make its first flight.
