The first Lockheed Tristar with RB 211 engines flew across our factory at Rolls Royce Hillington in Glasgow on a visit to the UK when I was an apprentice there. I saw the engines being manufactured for the first time, so this video is a great credit to the fact the government at that time saved the company from going under due to the cost of creating this historic engine and aircraft combination against very hard competition with the DC10. Unfortunately both designs were not as successful as the manufacturers hoped but the engine went on to greater heights. Thanks for a great video my friend , you are the spirit of aviation.
Absolute perfect engine sound indeed!! What more can you expect from the most absolute perfect aircraft :D Stunning video, gorgeous views. Your 757 videos are truly the best out there on the internet
My best memory of this sound is taking off from Reus airport, Spain, in August 2011, heading home to England, with the ending of Gung-Ho by Anthrax to match the pitch of the engine.
***** even though the 737 ng is my favourite airplane and the cfm56 for 737 is my favourite engine it is still sad to see the 737 900 replace the 757 and the cfm56 replace the good old Rolls Royce rb211 for the 757
One of your best !! But I've said that about so many of your video's already. :-) Perfect engine sound, and you climbed to altitude so quickly. I love coming out of that turn and seeing the coastline again. WOW. Can't wait to see you land in Chicago. HD Aviation......The only way to fly. Walter
superb video all around! beautiful engine whine and really nice scenery during flight. what more could a plane enthusiast ask for! thanks for sharing. rob
Nice video. Do you always sit next to strangers while on board these flights? Also, have you even been busted/caught filming shorty before departure/landing before? And one last thing? When is your next trip? Are you planning to go to Southeast Asia next? In the next three videos, will there be a landing at Newark Airport? Thank you very much.
Fantastic! I flew UA 757 from EWR to LHR. Very comfortable actually. (Was this plane really delivered in 2010? Or was that the switchover date from Continental?)
That was the switch over date! Glad you liked the video so much! I agree on the comfort level of United's internationally configured 757! Thank you so much for the comment!
Beautiful vid.. Nice view of Catalina Island and he coastline toward he end there... My favorite commercial plane to fly on by far.. The familiar noise you hear on these motors has to do with the shape of the fan tips and the shockwaves of them going supersonic.. Shame they saw it as a "flaw" and "fixed" it on subsequent motor designs...
LA has a metro, but I think its tiny compared to other cities, and no commuter rail? Thats crazy considering its a large city, no wonder the traffic in LA is horrible
Takes off. Get's the heading then goes for the vectors. After a few minutes, ATC cleared them LEFT always left direct LAX then you're on your way to DAG or Daggett then you go on your merry way.
Love the 757 sound; I just don't like flying in them. Unless you're a narrow-assed 150 pounder, you're gonna be cramped if you're not in first class, especially if you're stuck in the sandwich seat. I much prefer an MD80.
Mah, nicely done as always. The rolling baritone thunder of those engines is soothing enough that some people could be put to sleep. Check out my videos landing in Vegas and Chicago Midway.
+Mastacheifa 118 Yes, your comment was totally random and pointless. This is LAX and @1:14 was a United maintenance hanger. Do you know how many different airlines have maintenance hangers at LAX?? Continental and United merged in 2010.This aircraft was 1st delivered to Continental in 1994. img.planespotters.net/photo/139000/original/n17105-continental-air-lines-boeing-757-224wl_PlanespottersNet_139475.jpg
You sure that’s first class? I have sat in first class on a 757 and you can’t even see the engines because your so far up front? Are you confused with economy select? For sure this is way too close to the engine to be in first..
