ZHC flew over me when I was out for a walk yesterday afternoon, which was an unexpected surprise.

They are going to keep on flying in in a small way - the engines are being kept as they don't need much work to fit on the 744's, after which they will be put in the spare engine pool to keep those big old girls flying. As a side note, doing some digging, China Yunnan Airlines bought 3 RB-211 powered 767's delivered in 1996, who merged into China Eastern. One of the 3 is still flying (the other 2 listed as stored), right now as it happens, with a Russian Charter Airline, Royal Flight.
