The aircraft.
Boeing 767-400
And I guess 717-200

712 is definitely an obscure way of writing 717 given that there are no variants of that model.

👍
I know nothing about the 717, but didn't recall hearing of any variants. The only MD (like) aircraft I've flown IIRC was the MD-88

Though if you’re writing 764 you also do 712.

This.

I don't think I would.
The 767 has variants, the 717 doesn't.

Doesn't change the fact that that's the name of the aircraft ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

In any case, not worth arguing over IMO.

I think I can get Dan to agree to this if you're willing to concede the heliports.

I actually wanted to write something like "let's save the arguing for heliports" but I didn't want to rouse the beast.
