I Flew the STRANGEST Startup Airline...

[@brettgrooms701]

GOOD LORD that takeoff pitch is INSANE. Gotta love the good ole 757! Thanks Alex!

[@ZBTEproductions]

I like how on that first takeoff it was already on a steep climb and then it just went even steeper!

[@adamclabaugh1945]

I think ontario airport has a specifc noise regulation that requires thas aircraft must take off that steep in order to reduce noise.

[@GG-dj5op]

@@adamclabaugh1945 I thought only KSNA had these cool take offs :)

[@SpectreSideQuests]

@@adamclabaugh1945that’s typically nearby Santa Ana

[@Flightbudy2channel]

Until you have to fuel them then they become giant pieces of shit 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@chris_flies]

757 best plane. That initial climb-out was INSANE, gotta love these birds. It will be sad to see them go.

[@Mis-fe9fc]

Always wondered what was going on with New Pacific these days. Good to see that they are still flying, although now its only in a charter capacity. Hopefully we see them eventually get back to their promised route network over to Asia!

[@spooders8424]

Yeah that sounded wicked cool. Maybe they can buy a second hand 787

[@kangaroo5189]

Feels bad for them because of the Russian airspace problem. This could make the whole business model barely profitable due to the added complexity.

[@redademe]

Flawed business model, with these old school 752s they can barely make it to Tokyo/Osaka on a good day out of ANC using Russian airspace, nothing beyond. Iceland is a great place for a stopover, but Anchorage? Mimicking the Icelandair model isn't a given because the Atlantic is a much shorter crossing.

[@lvthud]

@@kangaroo5189 The business model was never profitable. It's also taking down their Alaskan operation.

[@IndonesiaMajapahitNDPCA]

@@redademe they could just go south then west on repeat

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

You had to appreciate flying in a 757 for the first time in the 80's going from the anemic take off and climb out of the 727's and DC's to the rocket of the 757, what a hoot.

[@peterfinn6098]

Totally agree, i was a kid used to flying in the UK on charter airlines that used 727s, 737-200s and BAC1-11. Then in 1988 a 757 flight to Orlando via Bangor Maine from Manchester and wow it was like a rocket and engine nose on the RB211 was so different.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

@@peterfinn6098 I'll never forget getting thrown back into my seat during the initial take off roll on that flight, and thinking "Oh my gosh, the power of this thing!".

[@bishwatntl]

Yes, I still recall being a passenger going from a 737 to a 757 and experiencing that takeoff power - it was like going up in a lift (elevator) in comparison. At the other end of the scale was the A340-200/300 that felt like it was having trouble taking off at all.

[@RichardOHarren]

I flew that very airplane as Captain with UsAirways, great to see the old gal back ln the air again! The 757-200 was a Corvette of the air.

[@scottmoseley5122]

Cool story...looks like they have really fixed her up really well. Its an interesting business model.

[@atreyuprincipalh4043]

The 757 is the best airliner ever built

[@AirRBnpc]

If boeing did a 757max instead of a 737max it could have been so much better for both themselves and customers

[@tomahawk1705b]

The last of the "muscle" jets, their power to weight ratio was great!

[@justinnewton7583]

New Pacific is the charter airline for the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, NC, so we get to see these guys every now and then at RDU in addition to Delta’s 757s that go to ATL

[@billdapp2491]

I've flown the 757 twice, once on Canada 3000 from Calgary to Maui, and once on Delta from Dallas to Puerto Rico. They were, and still are, my favorite plane to fly on. They have been called a sportscar for the air and the way they rocket off the runway is a blast.

[@derf5045]

glanced at the thumbnail earlier and thought i was looking at an a350, the black around the cockpit windows really makes the plane look so much "newer"

[@ajfurnari2448]

Damn, that's one hell of a beautiful livery.. That climb out of KONT and the thrust reduction of the buzzsawing RB211's is a beautiful song

[@ParrotGaming123]

Hadn’t heard about them in months. Glad to see them still flying!

[@ardentblue7493]

this trip was back in march

[@flightforensics4523]

As a once US Airways tech who documented all my work since 1980...I've worked on THIS very aircraft a bunch in MCO as N631AU. Reliable as you can imagine.

[@ThePointblank]

I remember flying YVR-YYZ on a 757-200 with Harmony Airways many years back... very powerful jet, and those RR engines sounded epic. One of the few airlines in Canada that operated 757's in passenger service.

[@aniwack]

I love that you didn't talk over the AMAZING accoustics of the 757 on takeoff.

[@jocax188723]

Holy cannoli, that’s not a takeoff, that’s a rocket launch.

[@bobbygushlinger3637]

The flying pencil is so cooool!

[@trob0914]

That aircraft is so iconic, love those RR engines! Raised in Alaska, I was hoping for greater things from this air carrier but wish them success in the “charter” arena. Thanks for this video, Alex, safe flying!!

[@Tampa0123456789]

Did anyone notice that climb out? My God was there some kind of noise ordnance or mountains to avoid? They were at least 8,000 in a blink of an eye.

[@jaysmith1408]

It’s a 757, climbs like you’re shooting at it. And only a few hundred mile flight, you’re well under MTOW.

[@marklittle8805]

Climbs like a homesick angel...

[@rixxroxxk1620]

New sub! I really liked your presentation of New Pacific. I remember when they started up and was intrigued by their business aspirations. I’m sad it didn’t work out for now. Thanks for the straight forward commentary, the excellent sounds of the RB211 and not taking an hour of taxi vid!😂

[@planeandsimple_official]

The departure out of Reno was spectacular! Great video as always!

[@BryceCampbell]

New Pacific also secured the charter flight for the Harris/Walz campaign.

[@jaynichols7932]

Thanks for posting this HD video - the 757 is an incredible jetliner I have been admiring for many years. The that take off from Reno demonstrates the performance & power of the RR engines! Hopefully you post more 757 trips

[@bmused55]

So jealous. the 757 is my favourite airliner. I last managed to catch one in 2006. Magnificent aircraft for an avgeek. The sounds are amazing and it climbs like a homesick angel too

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your flight here. I hope this new airline makes it. The sports team chartering would have money to be made! Nice!😊 Yes, I do love flying the 757s in general. They are beautiful aircraft.

[@visioon1495]

Finnair used to operate B752's to holiday destinations as chartered to Aurinkomatkat (Suntravels, finnish travel agency) until 2014. I flew on it multiple times, longest flights being HEL-LPA-FOR (stop in LPA for fuel) and HEL-AMD-HKT. (with again stop in AMD for fuel) I was really young, like 7-8 years old and i remember how crammed it was. So little legroom but no wonder, the plane had the maximum amount of seats allowed. (all economy) Hated the interior but loved the performance and the pw2000 noise :D

[@peytbass]

Nicely done. Thanks.

[@yungrichnbroke5199]

Great video as always

[@louisstennes3]

I read an article that said that pilots loved flying the 757 and for many of them it was their favorite airplane.

They tried to give the 757 eyeliner 😂

[@sc1338]

Looks pretty ngl

[@anttirytkonen11]

That beast with its sound! That's awesome! Great video this! It brought back memories from my childhood during which I flew 11 times on B752s exclusively, on Finnair, Spanair and Airtours International specifically. 🤓

[@Wyliedawg]

Thanks Alex! I saw them passing through CYYZ last week and again today, charters as you confirmed for me in the video. The aircraft you flew on is operating CYYZ-CYEG at this very moment.

[@ericsd55]

Alaskan here, we’re not thrilled with how this airline is making it harder to get around the state. However, other flying companies are growing great!

I always see them fly out of Newark and wanted to know how they were. Lucky for me one of the best flight reviewers made a video on them. Thank you for this video. Have a good day🙏

[@kimtruong4676]

those engines were a screamer. holy moly, that takeoff was quick. I love how the pilot backed the throttle off right away when airborne. May have been an empty flight.

[@777jones]

Nice, that was an ex USAir 757. That was considered our “nice fleet” of new delivered 757s direct from Boeing. We also had ex Eastern, then with America West, a bunch of used 757 from various sources. But the -2B7 were the most standardized and best condition 757s we had.

[@srocks94]

It's not really aviation related but I must thank you for taking the time to put full english subtitles!

[@robertalbertson889]

What a cool airline! I'd fly with them any chance I could get! Hoping they succeed in this extremely difficult segment of airline flights ✈️ 🙏 ❤😊 I've always been a huge fan of the 757 it's a total pocket rocket 🚀 of passenger jets! Love the 757's angle of attack on the climb outs

[@AM-qb8zg]

Wonderful aircraft. We are lucky here in the UK that Jet2 still fly 757s to holiday destinations, and I have flown on them 3 times in the last few years, out of Manchester. Sadly, they are due to be phased out in 2025.

[@P4TT757]

I fly on the 757-F a lot at my airline. They are fun birds to fly on but it’s a bit too small not really comfortable but when we send them out on charters we usually have 1 pallet stack loaded (roughly 4000 lbs) and around 40,000 lbs of fuel. So you can imagine we are really light on T/O. On V/S we are usually 4500-5000 FPM.

[@Snorlax_808]

Thank you for pronouncing Nevada correctly!! You don’t know how much that means!

[@melvyncox3361]

Great job on a unusual airline,and the 757 to boot.Let's hope they survive!

[@magnustan841]

Unpopular opinion maybe, but Boeing did not make a mistake stopping production of these and made the right call to go all in with 737 NG family and have the 737-900ER fulfill at least some of the 757 market. I’m not sure anyone could have foresaw how the middle-of-market, direct flights to small cities market, would have played out in the 15-20 years since 757 production stopped. Even if it could be fitted with modern engines, it would stand little chance against the A321neo family because the 75 is just so much heavier. Regardless, still such a cool airplane and I really would like to fly on one soon and experience that takeoff 😊 Great video Alex!

[@Matthew7Smith]

737 NG is a solid plane I'd say probably the max

[@PilotLieutenant1]

To be completely honest, a mask doesn't belong on the 757. It just looks very weird, and the cockpit windows already look good enough by itself.

[@mikiewifnoe360]

I live in Reno, and most flights are a bit bumpy coming and going. I never knew this airline existed and stopped here. Good review.

[@justana3507]

Excellent video😊

[@mikea6695]

I had to chuckle when you said that you were told that it would “get bumpy” descending into RNO. When DOESN’T it get bumpy going into RNO? Or out of RNO for that matter? My two 757 flights were MSP-MKE and DEN-ABQ. Amazing aircraft.

[@stuartw449]

That Reno takeoff was simply astounding. Long live the 757 ❤

[@ArdenTheSnep]

I really hope they bring back normal passenger operations, because that flight looked amazing. That livery is stunning too, and I really want to see it.

[@ScaryFear]

Thanks for the video. I love their colors. I'd love to see you doing a video showing your gear. Your camera, how you film. What bag you take for light travel. If I fly again I want to film as well but my cameras are all old.

[@marks150]

I live in Anchorage and am very sad about the news. They had just spent months refurbishing the old North Terminal at ANC, which was built in the early '80s for the then-booming international stopover scene before being left abandoned for over 30 years once flights were able to bypass ANC.

Have flown the 757-200 several times from Las Palmas to Tromsø.(LPA-TOS). It was Spanair who operated them. On the way down they always had a stopover in Madrid to change crew. Spanair is no more and today all this traffic is taken over by the a321.

It always suprises me a little bit to hear how rare the 757 is in other countries, given I’ve flown on it 3 times in the past month (MKE-ATL) on Delta and it’s a pretty common choice on that airline for their short-medium haul service out of Atlanta in general.
