1998

A refurbished 767 simulator was added to the Flight Training and Simulator Complex. It was installed and certified by 1998.
The first 767 revenue flight was in October of 1998.
Training was added to instruct employees to work with the 767.
Working to meet the FAA mandate of Stage III noise level compliance, ABX worked to install hush kits on the DC-9 engines and to complete modifications on the DC-8s to bring them up to the Stage III levels. The 767s arrived already meeting the noise level requirements.
