757

I have to agree with thegypsy. The 757 had excellent landing qualities followed by the 767-300 and next the 767-200. All very nice handling aircraft.

BTW, when the FAA first designated the 757 as a Heavy aircraft it was only for aircraft with MGTOW weights in excess of 255,000 LBS. Boeing only built a few 757s with MGTOW at 255,500, along with MTW of 256,000 thus the true Heavy 757 was a rarity in those days.
