A cockpit ride in the 757 would be a dream event for me. It's my most favourite of all planes and one I've flown on many, many times. Seeing them slowly disappear is heartbreaking. But I get it. All good things come to an end.
I was lucky enough as a kid early 80s to fly Pan Am Clipper Class out of JFK on a 747 and be sat next to a Boeing designer who gave me loads of 757 paraphernalia before the aircraft was launched, so I've been a fan of the aircraft ever since - Sad for it to be disappearing, but it had a good innings
My bad, I had the takeoff in landscape and the landing in portrait, so I converted the landing to Landscape for this video. I was going to convert the takeoff to portrait for another video, so you could see the landing full screen, but I managed to delete the footage instead by mistake.. gutted
Hi, just to let you know I have just uploaded a flightdeck view(zoomed out) of the takeoff and landing which shows all the pilot inputs, albeit on a B738 - Hope that helps
@@chrisrichardson774 commercial aircraft are built to last approx 30k cycles, so they're normally in service for 25-35 years. As they near the end of those cycles the risk of failure becomes greater, so most airlines would've long since replaced them, but when you get a notably reliable aircraft like the 757, some keep them going A comparison example is I have a 25 year old Toyota Hiace van which are renowned for bullet proof reliability, so I've kept it. If it was a Ford I'd have long since got rid of it lol
Probably the coolest plane I’ve ever flown. Would fly it again tomorrow.

Yep.

@@daPalma well now I'm super jealous!
Woah that’s amazing!
Not bad for a 30 year old aircraft ✈️ 👴🏻
Love this! Thanks for sharing
@@aviationadam_7386 Thanks 👍🏻
What a shame the landing is so zoomed in. I actually wanting to be able to watch the pilot inputs.

How did you get that access! Incredible footage❤
Thanks - End of an era footage 💔
1994?
This aircraft is from 1996, so not quite 30yrs old yet - 30yr old makes for a better title though lol
Hope you had permission of the airline and flightdeck to take and then post this footage online. This would be a serious offence in my company
@@abingdonboy Have you seen my other videos? I get invited by airlines & media outlets to review aircraft
Isn't it a risk using a thirty year old jet? Surely this should've been replaced long before now
