[ACARS] B-2496 Info needed

[Bill Croy]

Hi Tony

There's a photo on

http://www.myaviation.net/search/search.php?view=&photographer=Li%20Jing

so it does exist. Underneath there's a cryptic message:-

"B-2496 Because Air China think B-2494 is unlucky, they replace B-2496 as
new reg."

which makes it sound like what was to be B-2494 is now B-2496. You know what
the Chinese are like with numbers. If this is correct it would make it
B767-331ER c/n 30301/ 762.

Rgds.....Bill
