B 757. On a 2 hr flight it was only a few hundred pounds extra fuel burn to keep from going to max pressurization and possibly an explosive depressurization. The 757 is very maneuverable so the turns were easy. These turkey buzzards weigh from 5 to 8 lbs so can do a lot of damage even below 200 knots.
