British Airways Boeing 757-236 G-CPET - Final Takeoff from Heathrow - 6th November 2010

I always had a grudge agains't this type only because it replaced the Trident on the domestic shuttle and interlining routes ! however looking at the 757 it does now itself look a bit dated I feel especially when up agains't types like the A321 AND EMB 195, so a classic now I guess?

@rodjames98 well.. it's still in use widely across the world because unlike it's 'size' rival the A321 it can cross the atlantic! but yeah.. especially in BA retro colours.. a classic.

[rodjames98]

@speedbird188 It is yes . Regarding crossing the atlantic the A319 can do that from London City, admittedly it needs to refuel at shannon.

[speedbird188]

@rodjames98 *A318. ;) and that aircraft has been adapted with 5degree glideslop for landing at london city and the distance of the route altogther. but it still doesn't have the size of the B757/A321. ;)

@speedbird188 I know mate ! just jesting with you!

[speedbird188]

@rodjames98 don't worry.. i gathered. :P

[rodjames98]

@speedbird188 My real worship was the HS121 Trident and Bac 1-11 /500 tho. In my opinion the real jets. sadly now all gone.

[speedbird188]

@rodjames98 ahaha. we are completely opposite in opinions ;) - i prefer the modern jets! :D

[rodjames98]

@speedbird188 I think it could just be an age thing?

[speedbird188]

@rodjames98 i guess you're right. ;)
