Thank you for the kind comments about my PA. Not my best, but I’ll take ‘Brilliant and Funny’. I’m glad you enjoyed the flight. (I was the captain by the way)
Haha no worries Stuart, thankyou so much for the smooth flight down to TFS and a little peek in the cockpit after we landed too. Hopefully get the chance to fly on the B752 again soon. Thanks mate.
Great video mate ,we went to tenerife 4 years ago on a 757 stu was the captain that day on landing and he showed me and my grandkids the flight deck one top fella and a credit to jet2
Thanks so much mate. You must get yourself onboard one soon mate. Once the A321neos start to arrive at the end of this year it is going to only be a matter of time before they quickly replace the old flying Pencil. Cheers mate 😁
One of the last flights I took was back in 1982 to a then newish Airport at Tenerife I was glad the flight was not to the other infamous Airport, which I think was not used as much after the crash. The oppertunity for me to fly has not been possible since.Great Video.
Thanks so much Charlie. Loved your video on the Jet2 Boeing 737 window panel before. Make sure you get on a 757 soon before they are retired mate. I meant to get onboard Monarchs A300 before it was retired in 2014, and to this day I regret that I missed flying on it. 😊
Great video. The 757 is such a great aircraft. I love the sound of those RB211s from the front of the plane. Love the inset video from the ground too. Thanks for sharing.
Did you know that pilots are only allowed 2 go arounds? They can't make a third attempt unless there's an emergency and have to divert, often to the relief of many passengers. But although you might think the plane is shaking itself apart, they are actually built to take that and much much more. That's why the crash of the Boeing 737-800 China Eastern Flight MU5735 seems so shocking, especially given the video clip of the actual nose diving. Planes simply do not fall out of the sky like that, unless forced into such an unstable flight position by something or someone. I don't like flying with Boeing and you may have heard the old rhyme "If it's a Boeing I'm not going!" When booking a flight nowadays, I always check out the type of aircraft on the sector. I try to avoid Boeing wherever possible and wouldn't even consider boarding a 737-Max. They're just unsafe in my view and I'm convinced that while Boeing have addressed some of the issues with their flight control software, it still has a bug which could make the plane unstable. Looking at the China Eastern crash, as I say, planes simply don't fall out of the sky like that. Some have suggested it was brought down by a bomb or missile, but that seems highly unlikely, as the aircraft appears intact as it falls to Earth with no trailing debris. There was just a hint of a puff of smoke from the aircraft seconds before impact, but that could simply have been one of the engines spooling back. Others have suggested it was brought down by the Pilot in what's known as a "Pilot aircraft suicide." It's happened before and will sadly happen again, especially given the stress Pilots endure in the modern aviation world. But, that too seems unlikely, especially as China Eastern have grounded their entire fleet of 737s, a massive decision, with huge financial and operational implications, which would indicate there's a problem with this variant of the 737, not with the Pilot. If other airlines around the world start doing the same, then we can say with almost certainty there's a problem with the aircraft type. But, frighteningly, Boeing will likely already know the basic cause of the crash, as I don't if you're aware, but they monitor every single one of their planes and it's behaviour in real time via satellite communications from a global tracking centre, based I think in Seattle. The engines are also similarly monitored in real time, by Rolls Royce or General Electric, via a multitude of sensor arrays mounted in the engines themselves, which report back at least once per minute, to the manufacturers monitoring centre. So, they too will likely know how the engines on this plane performed and whether there is any wider cause for concern that might see the grounding of planes flying with that particular engine model. The fact that no such announcements have been made to date, leads me to think there's a problem with either the airframe of the plane, or the flight control software. So, whilst crash scene investigators will go through the motions of locating the flight data and voice recorders, the infamous black box (which are actually bright orange) the sad truth is these will probably only confirm what the plane and engine manufacturers already know, or at the very least highly suspect. Strangely and coincidentally enough, the last time I flew Boeing was an Air France 777-300 from Charles De Gaulle Paris, to the same Chinese airport of Guanghzoo, where we tried landing in a violent electrical storm. Two missed approaches, and a further go around with loss of some electrical power (cabin went totally dark which triggered mass screaming) saw us flying onto Hong Kong, where we sat on the tarmac for 3 hrs waiting for the storm to pass, followed by a safe landing back on the mainland. My connection was a China Eastern 737 onto Siem Reap Cambodia. I had shivers when I heard about this crash, as it kinda brings it home to you when you've flown the same route yourself on the same airline and aircraft type. I just hope the truth comes out, not least because the aviation world will need to know if there's potential cause to ground certain aircraft types. Boeing are very good at the avoidance game. Look at the disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines Flight M751, which is yet to be found. I'm convinced Boeing know far more about that flight than they've ever made public. Then the crash of successive 737 Max aircraft, where Boeing initially denied all knowledge of a problem with the plane's control software. Only when the second aircraft of the same type ploughed into the ground, were they forced to come clean and ground every 737 Max due to software issues. And people ask me why I don't like flying... It's not that I dislike flying, quite the opposite in fact and I travel frequently, it's just Boeing that I worry about and I'm much happier taking a flight on an Airbus. Unfortunately though, no matter how hard I try to completely avoid flying Boeing, it's virtually impossible. I like to fly long haul and some countries are only served by certain airlines, who in turn only operate one make and variant of aircraft on a particular route. So, if I want to visit South America, many airlines only operate Boeing, either the 777 variant or the newer Dreamliner 787 (which too has experienced issues requiring a recall) so I either have to plan circuitous routes to get to my desired destination, with a financial penalty or I bite the bullet and fly Boeing, apart from the 737-Max which remains a non starter for me. So, maybe I should change the rhyme to "If it's a Boeing, I'd rather not be going." RIP China Eastern Flight MU5735
Fantastic! It is so easy to get through passport control. I found in Tenerife the queue for Non-EU was moving faster than the queue for all those arriving from the EU. ALl you need to remember is the passenger locator form & you will be fine. I hope you have a great time 😀👍
Great video Jonathan I love your content worth a subscribe for sure but I’m not a fan of the 757-200 look on the jet2 livery or in general the plane itself but I can’t judge never been on a B757-200 nor a boing airbus the only plan I’ve been on is G-SAJD Loganair E145 I think not to sure but yeah NCL-EXE but I’d love to fly on it just to see what all the comments are on about
Can I ease ask what your seat number was? We have booked for our first time abroad and have chosen 8a&b and 9a&b and now I'm worried it'll be a view of the wing 😫
That's great thank you.. jet2 have said the wings start from row 12 on my journey but even if not, I'd be happy with the view you have so I'll try not be too worried. It's a minor thing to stress about I know 🤣

Fantastic sound on the takeoff there. Captain sound in very good spirits!
The 🐜
Absolutely LOVED that takeoff sound! Well done mate!
Glad you enjoyed it. The sound of those RB211s is amazing.
Nice one! I miss flying these overpowered pencils out of Leeds, what a plane!
Same here! The Boeing 757 truly is an amazing plane and is 40 years old today.
Super flight video Jon, really need to try and get myself on a 757 ASAP, before it's too late! 😦 Liked!

Thanks very much Stephen, nice experience. It is a shame you have not been able to fly since.
Excellent flight report m8
Thanks mate, it was an awesome flight.
Just can't beat the RB211 Buzzsaw. Magnificent engine on a magnificent aircraft! I see Alpha Kilo has the newer glass cockpit installed. Very cool!
Couldn't agree more it is amazing
Nice filming.Looks like Tenerife is Jet2s hub from number of their planes on the ground.
Thanks mate, Jet2 do have a large presence at Tenerife Airport.
Brilliant filming Jonathan! Not too long until I get back on the B757 myself 🤩
Thanks so much Charlie. Loved your video on the Jet2 Boeing 737 window panel before. Make sure you get on a 757 soon before they are retired mate.

@@JonathanWinton123 thanks mate! I’m flying on one in just under a month to Lanzarote from Manchester 😊
If its a Boeing, I'm not going!
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for your kind comment. 😊
Superb Video Mate 👍👋👋
Thanks mate, hope you are keeping well 😁

Glad you enjoyed it thanks Callum 😊
Love them Rb211s! You never have to worry on a 757
Same here, they are solid engines.

Ah the 757 affectionately known as The Bendy Bus
A lovely aircraft to fly on.
Fantastic video Jonathan
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Matte.
Due to fly to Fuerventra next month, what was it like going through passport control in Tenifere, with the UK no longer in the EU?
Can't wait
Fantastic! It is so easy to get through passport control. I found in Tenerife the queue for Non-EU was moving faster than the queue for all those arriving from the EU.
ALl you need to remember is the passenger locator form & you will be fine.

Thanks very much mate. Personally I love the 757 it is a great aircraft.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
great video mate
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching Miguel.
2009 my last time on a 757 (US-airways)
That is cool. I was first supposed to fly on a Brittania airways B752 back in 2002 but the flight was changed to My Travels A321 last minute.
Roll on September for Tenerife unfortunately from NCL it won't be a 757 .
Hope you have a lovely time there mate. Yeah I miss the time we had them based here.
Hey, what row were you sat on the plane? I’m booked for Row 7 wondering if you know if I’ll have a window on row 7? Cheers in advance
I think it ws row 7 or 8 just in front of the 2cnd door.
Love it!
Thanks mate!! 😁
what did the captain say anyway ?
If you listen carefully you can hear he is having a bit of banter.
T love it
Thanks so much
Can I ease ask what your seat number was? We have booked for our first time abroad and have chosen 8a&b and 9a&b and now I'm worried it'll be a view of the wing 😫
This was seat 9A on the left overlooking the engine :) I hope you have a great flight
That's great thank you.. jet2 have said the wings start from row 12 on my journey but even if not, I'd be happy with the view you have so I'll try not be too worried. It's a minor thing to stress about I know 🤣
@@rachelgreenhalgh4302 The seats you have many people would pay good money for to have this view I can tell you. You'll be fine haha 😂
Just put me boot down for ye’’
Haha cheers.
