What an absolute bloody blast those trainees must be having! The mighty 757, one of the brawniest of them all. Must be like trying to ride a bicycle, with a pair of supercharged V8s strapped to your peddles!
Delivered to BA in February 1989, pretty old. DHL had a load of ex BA 757's in service including G-BIKB, BA's first in service in Feb 1983, which was only retired/scrapped in 2017. The Honeywell engine test bed 757, N757HW is ex Eastern and the fifth 757 built, also dating back to 1983. I wonder if it's officially the oldest still flying ? Nice video dude !
Thanks Mate. A lot of the older BA ones have been withdrawn from DHL as you say, there are still a few older BA ones still flying. Not entirely sure if this is the oldest one in the DHL fleet, it's worth a google.
The oldest 757 still flying is the original prototype, it still flies for Boeing as N757A and is 39.6 years old. The second one ever built still flies as well for Starflite International Corporation as N144DC and is 39.4 years old. N757HW for Honeywell International is actually the third oldest 757 still flying at 38.6 years old, and was the fifth 757 ever built. The third and fourth 757s built, both of which flew for US Airways as N916UW and N917UW, were scrapped.
A plane doing a touch down on the runway, then departing further down it, it then comes back round doing the same, after doing a circuit round the airport. Thanks for Watching :)
Awesome shots mate! Very nice to see all those go arounds and touch and go's! I saw a DHL doing training flights in Leipzig :) Well done! Big like!
Thanks Mylos. Yeah it is really cool to see. Quite common to see these training at airports across Europe because they have quite a few.
Nice one mate. Good to see a bit of training from the boys in yellow. Liked.
Thanks Jonathan. Yeah, always good to see a 757 of some sort circuit training.

What does circuit mean
