RE: DU counterweights on 767s

["Bauman, Rodney L. (84U) " <84u@BECHTELJACOBS.ORG>]

I don't know for sure, however I highly doubt DU counterweights are used in

Boeing 757s or 767s.



I've always heard that they were only used in the tails of older 747's to

counter the plane's excessive nose weight (which is a unique design).
