Pushing back a United Airlines Boeing 757 at LAX

Geeez! That's a fast start. Turning both at once. That's fast. Never seen that before.

I saw a 777 do a powerback in Auckland.

Dang! I'm jealous! 757 what a beauty!

I miss when it was just United and Continental. Not Continited.

the 727 can use its reverser's to push back.

I remember being in Houston once when the AA 727 or super 80 (I cant remember which) I was on did a did a self powerback. It was my first and last experience of said self pushback, it was such a strange felling. Do they still do this type of thing in the US these days?

@c00k1e050 It must of been a super 80, because the 727 wouldnt be able to do that

Actually the Boeing 727 can do a powerback. I saw one of TWA's 727s do it at  Houston IAH went tugs weren't available.
