Watched the first one as a young lad,departing heathrow on a shuttle to Manchester.Performance was awe inspiring!Somewhat different from the trident,which itself is a sadly missed sight ( not noise though!).Never would have imagined that 10years later i would get to fly it. B757 has a place in many pilots hearts,from those that flew it to those that just admired her effortless ability to soar skywards smoothly and elegantly. Spent over 5000hrs on the stick insect,record was a 9hr,20min flight.....not bad for a 'medium'range aircraft. Nostalgia eh?
