On Wednesday, Boeing delivered its 1,050th, and final, 757 jet to Shanghai Airlines, ending the 23-year run of production of the plane.

Aside from its significance as the final 757, the plane is the first certified Chapter 4 airplane, meeting noise limits scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2006. More than 1,030 757s are still in service. Chicago-based Boeing (NYSE: BA) employs more than...
