I was not sure of the size, but now that you say there are seven, maybe perhaps I should do a car MR out to the place to see how many are actually there. I live near the airport so it should be a quick jaunt by car for me.
In any case, I am glad to see that as of today that the only 767s in El Paso aren't just UPS planes. ^
[EDIT: You know what? I think I'm just gonna go ahead and do that car MR in a few hours before sunset. I'll post pictures of them later tonight.]

I think that the main reason is because ELP has many empty apron area that are unused and that stowage fees are cheap there compared to other airports in the region (DFW is more expensive and I don't think that there are any good spots at ABQ/Kirtland AFB).
