I saw that one some months ago, but don't think it was a 767. Too
long ago for that. BBC said it's a true story, and the ANZ Captain
and the AgWagon pilot became best buddies and fly together now.

... so definitely not a 767! Sounds right, though.
TP> 23 hours seems a long time! Could an Agwagon carry that much fuel

*_Good_* question!
