I was watching something on 20/20 or one of those shows and they said that on average a 767 in it’s lifetime will have it’s wheels changed like 50 times, and it will go through 12 engines. The numbers were very high, i thought. Anyone know on average how many engines, tires, and other replaceable things that an average 747 goes through in its life time?
