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.

They pulled all the insulation and put a shitter up there...

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

Re: Air Canada 767 Freighter Conversion Time Lapse

They should make a time lapse on the pilot paychecks.

F yeah. Makin' it on the AC 690.3.
Re: Air Canada 767 Freighter Conversion Time Lapse
Wrong type...it's a B690 (767 - 10%)

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.
Re: Air Canada 767 Freighter Conversion Time Lapse
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.

Livin' the good life.
Plan it right and you can keep your body on North America time, or whatever is best for your long layovers.

Re: Air Canada 767 Freighter Conversion Time Lapse
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.
