Will be such a shame when they are retired soon by TUI. The 757 is an icon for the airline from its start as Britannia Airways onwards. An RB211 powered 757 is the best kind
I think the 757 is the best looking aircraft. Its stance reminds me of concord, although TUI's livery takes away from its sleek lines. Or, is my love for this aircraft because of it being my first ever plane I flew on??? Maybe the thrust that pins you back in the seat? No other aircraft does that anymore. 👍😎👍MDS
I guess it is because it was the first aircraft you flew on.Mine was a BEA Comet between Heathrow and Gothenburg and I still see that first ever flight as something special never forgetting the paper progress map being passed around the cabin!
Ahh so great to see the 757 still with TUI! … I spoke too soon. TUI have announced the retirement of the 75 and the remaining 4 are expected to be removed by October 13th :(
Love the 757....interesting fact the cockpit is below the main cabin....i.e. there is a step down to get onto the flight deck....love the return take off and the waving pilots!!!! Good landing and the noise of those engines love it!!!
It was great to have you on board! I remember seeing you recording our takeoff out of JSI, I was sat near door 3R so could seeing you standing holding your camera and remember feeling so sorry because you were waiting patiently for us to start rolling, but we sat at the end for a while. Your poor arm :P
Superb! This video has it all - wonderful aircraft, awesome RB211 sounds, a trip at FL410, incredible morning light, an interesting approach and a super short field landing (those brakes must have been scorching!) - oh, and a bit of wing/engine condensation on takeoff to top it off! A fitting tribute to the TUI 75'; she will be missed.
Most of them now. The runway was extended at the 19 end 2 years ago. Only by a few yards but it’s just enough to tick the box so they can take off, direct to the UK now. 737’s do it mostly now
