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.

Bonkers. No wonder the B757 is still in such demand!! Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

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

Wow 🤩 love the 757! Superb performance and climb rate 🚀

Love the old 75s - best onboard engine noise of the lot.

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……

Wow, that's a GREAT view of Jet2 757, awesome sound and rocket departure!!

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 !!

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.

Ferrari of the sky... I remember all take offs like this as I child in the 80s 😜. So powerful with RR rb211s engines

A very understated plane love a boeing757 those engine s great sound

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.

The 757 with Britannia airways livery was a gorgeous plane

This plane is a Beast! love the 757 is so beautiful and powerful 😎

Love the rb211s .. so noisy but powerful

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.

Love the sound of the engine

Love the 757😎, great video👍

From 0 to V2 (liftoff speed) in under 23 seconds. That's a pretty wild take-off!

Was on that plane going to Tenerife a few week back. Its so fast on the take off after holding it on the brakes

JET2 one of the few operators that own their planes outright

Amazing video man!

Captain: positive rate, gea… Copilot: yeah I fucking know mate

Flew many BA 757's Heathrow - Lisbon......didn't realise at the time they were such racehorses of the sky!

Nice capturing of 757😍

What a plane!

Im pretty sure I was on one of these at one time. The take off was thrilling.

Fantastic video ❤✈️

You know why pilots love the 757? Yes, because it flies like a rocket.

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'.

POWERRRRR You can trust more like you can tHrust 🔥 ✈️

Very impressive 👍👏

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?

Really missing the 757 at LBA the last few years!

Great catch

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.

Lovely catch 🤩

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...

Flying Pencil, brilliant

F**k me....that was incredible. Boeing really, really needs a new pencil.

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.

The 757s were really over engined for a plane of it's size (so they could have better fuel economy at lower thrust levels).

And that was probably with De-Rated takeoff power too!

Bomber GT of the skies

Love it

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!

Gotta love the 57s.

Thats the way to do it!

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.)

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.

Beautiful

Well known fact that the 757 is a well overpowered aircraft since they were built….

Carlsberg don't do airliners but if they did it would be the 757 ✈

The lift on a 757 is just insane.

I think air force two is also a 757 with kick ass acceleration

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.

1:31 RB211!!!!

It's those RB211-535E4's!

Thats why they call it the sportscar of the skies, the magic 7-5-7

Fantastic.

Brilliant 😊

Sorry to say I've been on afew of them ✈️✈️🇬🇧🇬🇧

That’s why Kennedy Steve said the Boeing 757 was his favorite plane to ATC.......

Thta livery looks so similar to ALEGIANT AIRLINES

The flying Pencil.

When boeing made great aircraft

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!

RR breakthrough airliner.

Airbus A321 is not good like Boeing 757.

Why though????.... I'm glad I wasn't a passenger on it 😮

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.

Yep,did that a couple of thousand times.

Anyone what destinations jet2 fly these from Manchester

I’ve seen an empty 757-300 make an even shorter takeoff than that

Great aircraft with great performance. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a gas guzzler tho and that goed of the bottom line.

You mean I could be flying in a 34 year old crate

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.

Unimpressive. Rocket?

Ex Thomas cook airlines alfa eco

When you put in the headline ( Insane) I don't watch..

Rocket take off? Looked normal to me... A disappointing video, with a clickbait title.

Donald Trump has a 757 with RR engines

Click bait! Just another ordinary Jet2 757 departure.
