@88mroux

Nothing can ever replace the 757 - just look at that take-off! As whisky110 says, most of the former 757 routes are now worked by Airbus narrow-bodies

@allyum

It's the air intake for the auxiliary power unit which is normally only required when the engines are off.

Hey, anybody know what that box thing is @ 7:00 at the base of the tail section? It disappeared at 7:55. Is that some sort of air intake?

[gaz141]

reminds me of the 'fly the flag' era, sighs with nostalgia

[fsxboycalledBraDleyx]

i have never saw that type of british airways i always see the other ones

[whisky110]

@LTF85199 "PET" refers to the unique part of the aircraft's registration mark. This particular aircraft was G-CPET, other BA 757's had similar reg's... G-CPEO, G-CPER etc etc...

[LTF85199]

Why does it say "PET" on different parts of the fuselage? I seen this on several planes

[whisky110]

@88mroux The traditional Shuttle routes have been replaced with the Airbus A319/A320/A321, certain European routes too but with the 767 as well.

[88mroux]

What will be replacing the 757s?

[MrValeely]

I have fallen in love with it!! ;-)

[97Flyer]

B757 is best forever

[easyJetAirbus]

Excellent quality video. Thank you for the upload!

[whisky110]

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you pesky ramp-rats !!! lol

[CMS206]

Sorry for getting in the way of your footage of the takeoff roll... I was the guilty party atop the stairs... !

[Scotslad25]

Why have they retired 757 from their fleet?

[MrLuigigreen]

Wow this is most great video i´ve seen in my life about one 757 aircraft, congratulations friends, thaks for possting. Regards from México.

[smf333]

What a fantastic video. I grew up with the 757, seeing the first one's (KB, KA, KC) in Ba's fleet back in 83 at the tender age of 13 with my scope. I can't belive where the time has gone.

I knew my only opportunity to see CPET in her original Negus & Negus livery would be the afternoon GLA flight as I was at work in the morning and night would ruin any chance of seeing her en route to EDI. Luckily I did see her one last time passing by Sheffield at FL170 in a crystal clear sky, I was 13 again.

[pilotanthony]
