Out of all the passenger aircraft I’ve seen, I do think the Boeing 757 is the most good looking of the lot, it’s so aesthetically pleasing. anyone else agree?
Thanks for a great video. I still remember my first flight on a 757 shortly after they replaced Trident 3Bs on BA's Glasgow-Heathrow shuttle. Mid morning flight, maybe about 80 passengers and a flight deck crew out to have some fun. We rotated in what seemed like seconds and went up to cruising altitude like a rocket ship, no pausing for noise abatement, no messing, just straight on up. I really didn't believe what I was experiencing. What a change from the Tridents when you were never completely sure if you would be airborne before the end of the runway and the crew then had to do the noise abatement procedure, something I hated. I have loved the 757 ever since and it's sad to think its days in passenger service are numbered. I hope Jet2 keep theirs active as long as possible.
Glad to see the 757s still flying let alone taking off from Manchester. Many a good memory as a child growing up going on holidays in the 90s and 2000s.
Love the TRISTAR, and the 727 (flew on one once) but also flew on the most amazing A/C ever, the 757. Took off to Gran Canaria, went almost vertical. Those engines had SO much power. Amazing flight. Live the 757. X
Airline ops dream aircraft, superb performer, overpowered engines and beautifully balanced from a load controllers perspective, almost impossible to get out of trim….. the only down side was the ground turnaround times when fully laden with bags and cargo, as a non containerised hold, it could take a long time to load and unload with 2 doors and baggage belts……
Still my favourite airliner. B757 is the homesick angel. Used to work for BA in the 90s and had many trips to and from MAN to LHR and back using the Shuttle service, often in the jump seat. Such an incredible aircraft. Never get sick of seeing them, although my experience was way before those awful winglets.
Those winglets are vertical extensions of wingtips that improve an aircraft's fuel efficiency and cruising range. Designed as small airfoils, winglets reduce the aerodynamic drag associated with vortices that develop at the wingtips as the airplane moves through the air.
Was in a Continental / United one flying out from Glasgow to Newark. They took off like this, I remember being reclined back in the seat simply because of their departure angle! Commented to the cabin staff on landing, as I always thank them for a great flight, how the pilot took off like he was in a sports car. They knew too.
I remember (way back in time) when Air 2000 brought their first 2 757's to Manchester G-OOAA and G-OOAB, I worked in the refuelling operation, over time I must have pumped millions of litres of Jet-A1 into those beautifully proportioned airframes. For me the 757 is the Jaguar E type of the sky. Watching them roll and take off on ferry flights (0 pax) was always a fun sight. Happy days !!
I’m currently on a Jet2 holiday. Last Friday they had to power up the engines whilst keeping the breaks in. It may have been to the cold weather but was a requirement if Boeing & Rolls Royce according to the captain. Take off was like being shot out of a catapult.
I was lucky enough to be on the third seat of a Jet2 757, (may well have been AE) doing a positioning flight down to Gatwick, just me as the engineer and the Skipper and the Co pilot on board. A lot of the take offs you do are actually at reduced power, saves fuel, engine stress and noise. However, periodically you have to do a maximum power "assurance test" and it so coincided that we had a nearly empty aeroplane and a requirement to give it everything. So we went off like a rocket and rotated in no time at all. At that moment there was a loud bang and a crash which caused a momentary look at each other with a "what the hell was that" expression. I looked over my shoulder and was happy to report that it was only the coffee pots from the front galley making their way down the centre aisle to the rear galley. They went like bowling balls, all the way till they slammed into the rear galley and bounced about 5 ft. into the air again. Relief all round, climbing like the proverbial 'homesick angel'.
I remember flying on my first b757 of Monarch and incidentally good old Monarch and should still be with us tbh anyway I will always remember the change from a b737 to the b757 to Corfu back in the early 80s.
Went to the Dominican Republic on a 757 way back from Manchester.It refuelled at Bangor Maine and terminated at Peurto Plata. I cant remember now but one of the later airports had short runways and the pilots told us they had to do a full brake take off roll and not to be alarmed.It was quite an experience and remember looking forward to it again on the return leg.Great stuff.It must have been Bangor Maine?
I had a takeoff on heavy crosswind conditions, pretty full, but the pilot kept us on the ground way past normal V2 speeds. I figured out what was coming, but the pilot didn't say anything beforehand. We fairly jumped into the air and were at 1,000 feet in no time. There were a few yelps from the other passengers. Guess he really didn't want us to hang around at low altitude where things could go wrong from the crosswind.
34 Years young, but credit to Jet 2 for keeping these rocket's alive and kicking. Out of interest they must be heavily cycled and cant have much time left.
I’m old enough to remember flying in this aircraft back in the day. Being a nerdy aviation enthusiast I was really excited as I’d only ever flown the 737. To me it was just like a stretched version of the 37 and cramped as hell inside. Certainly wouldn’t like to travel over the Atlantic on this today when the 787 and a350 exist.
Nothing else like a 757, it literrally launches itself onto the air. 21 seconds from start of take off roll, to wheels leaving the ground.... Are you kidding me... Overpowered, sleek, sexy... Think no more Boeing... Bring the 757 back to production with new enginees. 757 MAX...
How about those mighty Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines! It seems like only yesterday when I met N505EA on the ramp in Montreal. That 535C powered Boeing 757 demonstrator was headed to the 1982 Farnborough air show. The 535 and 757 … a perfect pairing!
Long time ago, I also flew onboard a 757 - its performance is incredible. A pity Boeing does not release a re-engined version, maybe including a new wing. They would definitely earn money with that - (and stop airlines moving on to european manufacturers.)
If they built their rumored New Midsize Aircraft with the same proportions as the 757 using all of the modern tricks they learned building the Dreamliner, that would be something truly marvelous. (Too bad airlines don't care for planes as long as the 757 with just a single isle, so who knows what Boeing is really working on.)
This winter, they're flying them to most Canary Islands with Tenerife being the most frequent. And occasionally they'll send one to Geneva on the Saturday
Seeing the 757 flying prompts me to ask What happened to the 767, are there any still flying ?. Hope there is a an enthusiast out there who can tell me.
Delta is the largest operator of 757. Love those. They still operate some 767, mostly on transcon or Hawaii routes. I see one here in Vegas on occasion. Last one i saw was from ATL that was at gate as i was waiting to go to MSP.
@@TrainPlaneHub Well, the video title suggests something other than what is shown. I can only guess you made it that way for views, making it dumb and dishonest. Perhaps you should call it, "aeroplane takes off at a steep angle".
@@TrainPlaneHub When the temperature is between 3 degrees C and minus 7 degrees C, if the engines have been running for an hour before we have taken off, we must perform an engine run-up. This involves stopping the aircraft and applying around 50% power for 30 seconds. So no, not as stupid as you think!
@@martine6007 Still have my doubts as to why you’d think this particular take off was normal then? When it wasn’t that cold and there was definitely no-one onboard. Now we’re a 757 expert & “we” have to do what? No pilot seems to think this is a normal take off.
@@martine6007 I’ve been flying jets for 25 years. Never the 757, but I have other Boeing products. I’ve never heard of this engine run up in my life. It doesn’t seem correct, but then again, m not familiar with the 757.

It’s my personal favourite! Totally agree
A340-600 for me by miles and concorde no offence I hated the look of it
Definitely 👍🏻 2nd only to Concorde 🤩
Although not my favourite, I do like the narrow and long body.
My favourite would probably be the L-1011 Tristar.
100% agreed. The 757 is a beautiful manufactured aircraft!

Bonkers. No wonder the B757 is still in such demand!! Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Absolutely incredible plane 🚀
Wow 🤩 love the 757! Superb performance and climb rate 🚀

Love the old 75s - best onboard engine noise of the lot.
Too true. Love that hum sound onboard
Oh yes, flown on so many over the years. Last time was Icelandair in 2018

I've flown on one of them out of Manchester in the late 90s and it still the fastest, most power takeoff I've ever experienced
Flew many BA 757's Heathrow - Lisbon......didn't realise at the time they were such racehorses of the sky!
I’m currently on a Jet2 holiday. Last Friday they had to power up the engines whilst keeping the breaks in. It may have been to the cold weather but was a requirement if Boeing & Rolls Royce according to the captain. Take off was like being shot out of a catapult.
This plane is a Beast! love the 757 is so beautiful and powerful 😎
A very understated plane love a boeing757 those engine s great sound
Ferrari of the sky... I remember all take offs like this as I child in the 80s 😜. So powerful with RR rb211s engines
This is unofficial, but i know a couple of Captains who just tweaked the metrics a little to increase the climb rate. Rocket ship.
From 0 to V2 (liftoff speed) in under 23 seconds. That's a pretty wild take-off!
Fantastic video ❤✈️
Love the 757😎, great video👍
Me too! Brilliant aircraft
Was on that plane going to Tenerife a few week back. Its so fast on the take off after holding it on the brakes
Love the sound of the engine
Amazing video man!
JET2 one of the few operators that own their planes outright
Love the rb211s .. so noisy but powerful

Really missing the 757 at LBA the last few years!

Bangor, Maine, has one of the longest runways in the US. Capable of handling the largest aircraft.
Lovely catch 🤩
Im pretty sure I was on one of these at one time. The take off was thrilling.
You know why pilots love the 757? Yes, because it flies like a rocket.
Great catch
Thanks 🙏

👍🏻 after seeing some of the Jet2 trolly dollies, they look like they’ve worked 34yrs nonstop.
@@AJ-yw5zy I shouldn't laugh but that is funny🤣
Jet 2 are starting to replace them with dusty bins (Airbus 321 neos) G-SUN* are the registrations
What a plane!
Very impressive 👍👏

The 787 is cramped compared to nearly any other wide body aircraft. I actively avoid 787’s if I can 😂
The 757s were really over engined for a plane of it's size (so they could have better fuel economy at lower thrust levels).
Nothing else like a 757, it literrally launches itself onto the air. 21 seconds from start of take off roll, to wheels leaving the ground.... Are you kidding me... Overpowered, sleek, sexy... Think no more Boeing... Bring the 757 back to production with new enginees. 757 MAX...
@and321now Relax, will ya? they're not bringing it back. Fans of the 757 can still dream though.

Flying Pencil, brilliant
POWERRRRR
You can trust more like you can tHrust 🔥 ✈️
The lift on a 757 is just insane.
And that was probably with De-Rated takeoff power too!
Long time ago, I also flew onboard a 757 - its performance is incredible. A pity Boeing does not release a re-engined version, maybe including a new wing. They would definitely earn money with that - (and stop airlines moving on to european manufacturers.)
Gotta love the 57s.
I think air force two is also a 757 with kick ass acceleration
It's those RB211-535E4's!
Carlsberg don't do airliners but if they did it would be the 757 ✈
Any of those fan powered heavies will jump right up in a test flight empty with only a moderate fuel load onboard. Depends on the crew.
F**k me....that was incredible. Boeing really, really needs a new pencil.
If they built their rumored New Midsize Aircraft with the same proportions as the 757 using all of the modern tricks they learned building the Dreamliner, that would be something truly marvelous. (Too bad airlines don't care for planes as long as the 757 with just a single isle, so who knows what Boeing is really working on.)
Well known fact that the 757 is a well overpowered aircraft since they were built….
Pilots were debating whether to do full thrust take off or not 😂
Beautiful
Anyone what destinations jet2 fly these from Manchester
This particular one has been doing runs out to Tenerife recently checking it's history on flightradar
This winter, they're flying them to most Canary Islands with Tenerife being the most frequent. And occasionally they'll send one to Geneva on the Saturday
Thats why they call it the sportscar of the skies, the magic 7-5-7
When the 757 was first built, supercars of the era couldn't outrun a 757 to V2. It's literally quicker than Lamborghini Countach.
Brilliant 😊
That’s why Kennedy Steve said the Boeing 757 was his favorite plane to ATC.......
Pilot itching to get going lol! What better aircraft to blasting you to wherever you need to go and be home by teatime lol! 757 is my fav!
1:31 RB211!!!!
Beautiful sound! 😍
Pilot - That's odd.... we have max thrust...yet we're not moving....
Co-Pilot - Parking brake is still on Captain!
Pilot - Ahhhh sh*t!
Sorry to say I've been on afew of them ✈️✈️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fantastic.
Thta livery looks so similar to ALEGIANT AIRLINES
Bomber GT of the skies
Thats the way to do it!
Love it
The flying Pencil.
Why though????.... I'm glad I wasn't a passenger on it 😮
Airbus A321 is not good like Boeing 757.
35 years old come March. Still earning a living, but passenger use is coming to an end. May still be a freighter in the future- who knows.
I’ve seen an empty 757-300 make an even shorter takeoff than that
RR breakthrough airliner.
Seeing the 757 flying prompts me to ask What happened to the 767, are there any still flying ?. Hope there is a an enthusiast out there who can tell me.
TUI are the only UK passenger airline that still operate the 767 and they have 2 left.
Many thanks, saw the Tui one this morning at Manchester.
United and Delta were still flying 767s into Edinburgh in summer 2022. I haven't been spotting for a while so I don't know the current position.
@@davebarclay4429 . Thanks Dave. I’ll keep a look out on Flight Radar going in and out of Edinburgh to see if one appears.

When Boeing had engineers build aircraft and not bean counters
Great aircraft with great performance. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a gas guzzler tho and that goed of the bottom line.
When boeing made great aircraft
You mean I could be flying in a 34 year old crate
Unimpressive. Rocket?
Yep,did that a couple of thousand times.
