Whatever Happened to B767-400 Values?

The B767-400 is an aircraft type for which values have been largely ignored but just how values have changed over time provides an important indication of how other types of similar disposition may fare. The B767-400 is a member of Boeing’s “B” club in being a marginalized variant of an…
