Cool video!

Does anyone know exactly what they did to the cockpit? I notice the video shows them removing most panels, however a recent picture, everything looks the same.

That’s right… 767SF stands for “Shitter in the Front”!

They should make a time lapse on the pilot paychecks.

I’ve heard it’s a chemical toilet as system plumbing sacrificed for weight. Also a very small cook area just outside cockpit. Fun times.

It’s nice to fly freighters with regular flush toilets, a complete and fully stocked galley, and reasonable sleeping quarters angled to offset the pitch attitude of the aircraft.

I would suspect quite a few airlines. Certainly the ones who have the big freighters built by the manufacturer but I can assure you that there are big converted freighters that have this as well.

Having flown quite a few types of freighters, I have seen a wide range of food and toilet facilities from the most basic(and even none at all on smaller aircraft) to quite civilized.

The IAI 767-300 freighter conversion STC states that there are avionics modifications to add the additional features required for cargo flying. I would assume that the company AC went with does something similar.
