N767BA was a Boeing 767 aircraft that was built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes as the prototype of the 767. The aircraft type was launched as the 7X7 program on 14 July 1978 and rolled of the assembly line on 4 August 1981, later achieving its maiden flight on 26 September. The type was later certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 30 July 1982 with United Airlines being the 767's launch customer.[citation needed] Boeing kept the prototype aircraft for testing throughout its life time. Starting in 1984, Boeing converted the aircraft to an Airborne Surveillance Testbed for a United States Army program.[2]
