Lots of Ps.... specific excess power!!!

Wow. I didn't know that compared to 737. I thought 757 wider, too

best airplane ever built..

@@phillipbanes5484 still 757 is the best can't wait to fly on 787 soon. will compare 787 to 757 .

Exactly! It was a big mistake for Boeing to discontinue this airplane.

@@JoannaFlatA worse mistake to try to make the 7-3 do the same job on its stubby little wheels.

@@FS2K4Pilot 🤔

INDEED!! I have yet to hear any aviation professional say anything bad about the 757. My only complaint, at 6'3, was that airlines crammed it full of as many seats as possible because of its outstanding performance and versatility. Did Boeing keep the tooling? What would Mr. Boeing say?

@@JoannaFlat Seriously you don't understand the reference? The 757 ranged from 200-295 passengers, depending on model and layout, the MAX-10 is 204-230. The 737 has short landing gear which only had to clear the JT8D engines, now it has the small diameter version of the LEAP engines, several inches smaller than the version used on the Airbus NEO models, which means it is less economical, but shifted forward and up. Trying to match Airbus A321 185-240 passengers has pushed the 737 far past safe limits. Disagree? Well there's the homicidal MCAS, and most recently the pop-off doors, anything for a profit, and the engine inlets that get destroyed by the anti-ice system. If Boeing did a 757neo with a modern engine they'd be head to head with the A321 and could even take more passengers. They could even re-use the FBW from the 777/787 and maybe even put a carbon wing on it. Instead they persist to try to wring money out of the 737 which traces it's systems design back to the 367-80 in the early 50s or even late 40s.

Yeah - I took a flight MIA to LAS a few years back on American. Rocketed out of Miami - thing was definitely overpowered I think having been derived from the 767 - now they build sh!t thanks to "executives"

Sure wish Boeing would have continued it and ended the 737 program, Could be a 757 MAX with a new wing and engines

If it’s a short runway do you have to dig and bounce the tyres somewhat like you might do on a wet runway. Cheers.

You can stop a 777-200 at max weight in 3500 feet.

Continental "Air Mic" 727? Been there, done that. LOL I was assigned to an Air Force Civic Action Team (CAT) on Weno Island (i.e., Moen) way back in the day. I miss those days...

@@dean8842 yes, Air Mike. My dad was a maintenance supervisor. We lived in Guam from ‘68 to ‘73 and in Phonpei(ponape) from ‘73 to ‘75. Landing in Truk you had to put down as close to the end as you could. No tarmac just a white coral strip. Always when the plane stopped and turned back for the terminal the water sure looked close. Also, coming in you could swear you were landing on the water. Then suddenly the runway would appear and every brake and reverser would come on. The coral wrecked havoc on the planes back then.

That sounds like an adventure!

You mean CS, as in Continental Micronesia?

Too bad that Trump's plane is a 757 lol

👍👍👍

What island is that?

...sad that they did't commit to a successor when they had the chance.. One was under consideration after the relaxation of ETOPS but the programme was cancelled in 2011 leaving what has become a growing market to Airbus, Meanwhile Boeing ended up considering pushing a 44 year old design to a forugh generation and beyond it's original concept as a short to medium haul aeroplane to serve small city airports... Three years ago they tossed around a concept known as the NMA to fill this market but it was already too little too late as development time fo a clean sheet design takes about a minimum of 5 years. By then Airbus would have still pretty much cornered the thin long range market. HAd boeing gone ahead in 2011 with a a new technology successor to the 757 it would have appeared at just the right time.and likely had both better range and performance with more efficient wing design and new generation high bypass engines. it could have even benefited from higher use of composites making it lighter and more aerodynamically efficient than it's older sibling. The 737 Max 10 is not a 757 replacement.as it cannot even match the range or performance of the 757-200 series. Operating from airports like this is was what the 757 was made for. with it's incredible power to weight ratio wjich gave it superior performance for hot/high airport operations..

@@bcshelby4926You r completely right!

The first Boeing 757 was launched in 1982.

6006 x 150 ft. / 1831 x 46 m 28 September 2018 - Air Niugini Flight 73, a Boeing 737-800, landed short of the runway and came to rest in the lagoon. One passenger died and was recovered later by divers. The remaining 35 passengers and 11 crew escaped serious injury.

@@craigfoster354luckily there was a fishing competition that day and all the locals where in the lagoon on their boats.

Seychelles!

Seychelles!

If this is Chuuk airport, I used to fly in here in a 727 on Continental. To take off, they had to rev the engines to get speed then make a u-turn on the runway to take off.

Oh! Awesome!

Nice! how deep were wrecks

Did the 727 really have a fuel jettison option?

:-)) Correct!

Yhose were the days…

😂

...there...

Air Mic Mechanic 75 to 77. Juju and NuJu were my life. So many great and memorable experiences❤

A little ahead of me, 88 to 94 then 747 HNL until they were parked, good times@@aviatrix1639

😆

most likely it's way more than a mile long. As you stated, the perspective just makes it look short.

The runway is more than 6000 ft long. The perspective (angle of the camera/approach) = just makes it look short. A 757 can take off and land on a runway over 5700 ft without a problem. Contrary to popular belief, pilots are not daredevils that risk their lives every minute. It's all science, physics, approved procedures etc.

@@retrovideoquest Yeah, and most people are used to seeing the ones in the states. I think JFK has one that's over 14,200 feet long, so the better part of 3 miles. The other two runways are around 8,000 and 12,000 feet.

What I found most interesting was looking at the black marks on the runway letting you know where the wheels first touched down. And then again at the end of the runway where they felt the need to lock up their brakes….lol.

@@topcat43truffles15 the heavy black marks on the other end are from landing when the wind has changed direction. You always take off and land into the wind.

How is the life there?

​@@JoannaFlat Thank you for your reply. I am Japanese and have lived here for 10 years and love it here♡ However, I am a little frustrated that there is no McDonald's😂

It’s unbelievable! Thank you for sharing

Oh, it’s just 5382/200!!! The shortest one I used is 5752/150.

It's free content. What do you want from them?

So how does it compare to the 737NG/MAX? From what I see, takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance, are all superior. Payload without question? Mtx? Acquisition costs? The airlines stopped ordering the 757 in 2004, in favor of the 737, hence the cancelation.

Yesss!!!

You mean : the climate ?

:-)) That’s interesting!
