I like the people hanging on the fence. LOL

Heh heh. I knew that was going to be SXM. My wife worked for Mesa for a very short time. I had plans to go for a visit to check that out but I never got the chance.

Does the 67 have a longer wing with more surface area or ~ the same length wing with more surface area?

I believe the span is about the same, but the area is much larger on the 767.

Yep a turn for the best.

Now its been over a year so lets see if I remember how this works.
The larger top surface area with ~ the same span generally means that it should create much better lift at lower speeds and marginally better lift as it approaches terminal velocity... Or I'm completely backwards.

Boy that is deep stuff. The 767 also weights much more than the 757.
It also has more thrust.

Wingspan
The Boeing 767 wingspan is 48 metres, 10 metres greater than the Boeing 757. Not all taxyways are useable by the 767 as a consequence.

From http://www.757.org.uk/diff/index.html

Lots of good differences in there.

[ASUSMC]

Do they both run GE engines? How much more thrust?

[BurnTire]

some 757's have RR on them.

[Jeff H]

Cool. There's one for the 767 also.
