Very sad to find this thread now that they have been retired. My first solo flight back in 2002 was on a 763, I remember it was a last-minute substitution from an A300 and since I was only 15 (but not traveling as a UM) I was upgraded at the gate. I also based in CDG between 2011 and 2018, so I had quite many TATL flights per year on a 763 (CDG-MIA/JFK) and got attached to them. I wanted to be on the last AA 763 flight but found out too late

.
I will definitely miss all the Mech issues that turned into great experiences and stories to pass along.
