My all-time favorite commercial jet is the 757. Slender overpowered rocket. Love it.
I always look for it when booking a flight.
Last flight to Fla. I booked with Delta just to get on one. Bypassed shorter, cheaper hops for the pleasure.
Takeoff is , well, closest I’ll get to the feeling of a Saturn V.
You would like Icelandair. They only fly 757s.
I was just looking at the Delta Plus seat options on it, looks like my trip from Anchorage to Orlando will be on the 757.
Ever flown a 757 out of John Wayne (SNA) ? Due to noise abatement, they fly a very steep angle of ascent, near full throttle, until it gets to 5,000 feet. Then they throttle back, and level off, it feels like the engines have shut down. Neat experience, if you know what to expect, but it scares the heck out of those who are unaware . . .
