Sorry I thought I was being funny with the call sign but i sounded like i was miserable hahaha, i forgot to laugh but i had been taken on a mad drive trying to film at some hilltop near an adventure place to find out it was like $60 USD to go up some cable chair 30 mins before closing at around 3pm too, then the taxi driver wanting to charge me $40 to go through a private street that i asked him to go into and that i'd walk the .5 mile road so i settled with this. At least he charged me about the length of the route back, 5 euro less than going back to the hotel but still
I flew 757s for 11 years. The performance of that airplane is incredible. It’s fast, turns on a dime, can fly incredibly slow and climbs like rocket. The only complaint was the 3x3 seating. It is difficult for passengers to use the facilities with one narrow isle.
@@aseem7w9 They are related, they’re both made by Boeing and the Max was made to try and replace the market the 757 served. It was a woefully short sited decision by Boeing. Moreover why do you think the 797 was supposed to be a replacement for a plane that they stopped making 15 years ago? They know it was a mistake destroying the 757 production line. Their market research told them it was a mistake and they did it anyway.
Adore the 757 🥰 Beautiful aircraft to fly on, work and operate. While becoming less viable to operate in passenger service their future is assured as freighters. Long may they grace the skies.
Had the pleasure of flying on a Delta 757. We boarded from the front and sat in the very last row of seats. That plane is incredibly long inside! We were walking and walking. Joked with the flight attendant about it.
Its just very maneuverable, thats all. Same with the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series. The engines are pretty powerful for that size of aircraft so it gains enough speed on the runway so it can lift off and climb like that without stalling.
Incredible climb out, I so wish Boeing would have made a 757 max instead of a 737 max. We definitely need a true classic 757 replacement, a next gen 757, just as incredible as the classic one we all know and love dearly 😁
Couple things, there was a serious head wind that day, if you looked at the 757 wings they were bowed upward, the jet wasn't carrying much fuel and being this is St Martin, most likely not a full flight either. That plane was light and a light jet like the 757 will jump into the sky like it has JATO rockets on it.
There's a good level of long lens compression going on. That was a pretty normal takeoff for a 757. It would have been pretty light. Most likely tankering fuel since the flight would be headed to ATL
Wow...I used to live in Corona and fly out of John Wayne. I was in a couple planes where the tip forward to a normal climb rate from the initial rate actually caused a slight negative G. It was scary as hell and I was never on a flight that they warned you about it. For several seconds there were many passengers grabbing their armrests and looking at each other in something just short of horror as the extreme climb angle changed to a normal angle and you suddenly have the feeling the plane is falling.
Guess what! You cant call it John Wayne Airport anymore! After 41 years with John Wayne's name, They have now, all of a sudden deemed him now a racist, and they are going to change the airports name....😒
In May 2020, due to the ongoing 737 MAX issues and the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Boeing set aside the clean-sheet design for the New Midsize Airplane (NMA) and began to look into a re-engined 757, dubbed the 757-Plus, which would compete with the Airbus A321XLR. The 757-Plus would need new engines, better efficiency, greater range, and more passenger capacity in order to satisfy the market that the NMA would have filled
Hindsight is always 20-20. The niche market for long, thin routes wasn't really there when Boeing cancelled the plane in the early 2000s. That emerged later. Had they held back on that decision for a few more years, I guess they would have continued development of it.
@@dennisworkmansr.714 Pretty sure the vast majority of people were smart enough to know it was a figure of speech. Can't ever dumb it down enough for everyone I guess.
@@TMJ32 I apologize for my wording, the thing i was trying to express was there are a lot of headlines just to get hits from people, don't get me wrong i am a subscriber to this channel and enjoy watching it.
Take off and Landing is dictated by the wind. It's actually easier to land from that other direction since the aircraft isn't coming in so steep on approach. Watch video of flights coming into St. Maarten and "fence surfing".
pregunto ..por que los aviones grandes y chicos no despegsn hacia el mar...? el peligro es qcd no tomar suficiente altura teniendo ese cerro de gondo si c cae no dolo mueren los que el apara lleva si no las casas q aplastaria e in cendiaria... tomen medidas no esperen accident y luego querer corregir...
Muy simple...siempre despegan o aterrizan con el viento en contra. En algunos videos, se han visto despegues hacia el mar en Saint Maarten y han sido sin viento o bien este ha cambiado de dirección.
