I got a cockpit tour of a United 767-300ER in year 2000 that was used for
overseas international flights. Crew said they have 3 INS units on board.


In 2001 I had a ride into Kennedy in a 747-400. I asked about GPS when
we were waiting on the ground (we could not get to our designated gate).
The Captain brought up the Position reference Page on the FMC and showed
me that the three lines for the INS and the FMC position line display,
now had a fourth, the GPS position added.
