Now if you are curious about the difference between a 767 and a 777, the two biggest differences are that the tail cone in the back of a 777 is actually a "fin" shape, while a 767 is a cone. Also the 777 vertical tail is thinner and taller than a 767. The cockpit of a 777 is also fatter looking (if that makes any sense).</font>
These are the planes where I always have the hardest time telling them apart. What is a "tail cone"? I've usually resorted to looking at the emergency exit doors which are at different locations on a 777 than they are on a 767...
