9 Interesting Facts About the Boeing 757
Known among professional pilots as “the Ferrari of commercial jets,” the Boeing 757 is a versatile aircraft that works well for both short and long-range flights. Its roomy cabin size and large baggage capacity make for a comfortable trip especially when jetting to far-off lands. These are among the reasons why it’s the aircraft of choice on many of our expeditions. (www.aviationfigure.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Besides all that is in the article, it is a good looking, high stepping lady. You feel like you are driving something when you taxi out in one and if you have a crowd watching, you just want to taxi around a bit. I am a bit prejudice after flying one, and the same one, for 23 years.
Same plane or same type for 23 years? Are you Donald Trump's pilot? :)
Same plane. Not Trumps pilot. They just got their 75 a while back. Prior, he had a 727. I was at AV out of FSM
And I got to say, going from a 707 into a 757 is about like daylight to dark. 1 man shy on deck, 2 less engines, and glass panel, to say the least.
Preach in early 90"s I took a jump seat to st Croix on Delta out of ATL by way of st Thomas where we unloaded all but 3 souls, then took on about 15 local for the jump to st croix. We took off hard right bank, level at 5000'power 20% drift down and land all in 6 min. what a rocket when light. Hope your health is doing better my friend we have lots of time before we take that final flight.
They would flatly go. That 8 grand at FSM never was short. Another friend of mine that was a DAL Captain until awhile back finally checked in one to do mx flights, after nothing but 767/777. Racehorse was term he used. Outa here for Radiation then oncology apt at LIT.
Good luck buddy. Prayers.
