THE PENCIL JET: Flying United's 757-300 from Chicago to Denver

[@captainrylenaviation29]

I've only flew on one 757 in my life on American Airlines in a 757-200 in the US Airways Livery (N910AW) from HNL-PHX onwards connecting to ORD when I was 5. I took this experience on this beautiful bird for granted and I wish I havent. Amazing bird!

Love that overcast breakthrough! Cheers from Peoria.

The fact that the 757 is capable to land and takeoff from Midway shows how it's the sportscar of the sky.

100%. ATA used to fly those in and out of MDW during its time

[@JustinPinedaMedia]

@@ASAviation I believe that they also did nonstops from Midway to Honolulu on these.

[@captainrylenaviation29]

​@@JustinPinedaMediaNo way, from Midway!?!?

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

great video!! love the denver views!

[@joeyk9578]

I always imagined Denver was in the mountains. Imagine my surprise to see the airport was flat all around for miles and miles.

[@cjtrains714]

Wow that landing was smooth

[@ASAviation]

One of the smoothest 757 landings I’ve ever had!

4:06 I actually saw this exact 747-8i in Toronto less than a month ago, which was an awesome surprise for Toronto planespotters like me, who usually get the Boeing 747-400 in summer and a mix of 787 and A330/A340 in winter from Frankfurt. Fun fact: Lufthansa used to have a Boeing 747-200 registered D-ABYT, wearing this exact livery!

Enjoy them while they’re still around.

I was at O’hare that day I think I spotted you taking off from runway 9R

That Rolls Royce power

[@JD-Films1]

Do you know if all of the 752’s feature the United Next Interior?

[@davidharris2519]

id rather be on a 757 any day over a 321

[@michaelleetrini3635]

This is the most uncomfortable aircraft in the United mainline ... I flew on one from Newark to Houston... Most of the bathrooms were broken . The infighting system did not work 😂

[@muhammadraza9163]

Nice

[@Rndmstff737]

I’d assume the reason the 757-300 doesn’t have scimlitar winglets has something to do with certification. I’d imagine that the Boeing 757-300 would have to get some kind of certification to use scimlitar winglets and because of how few 757-300s there are compared to the -200 Boeing just never bothered to certify the winglets. But I can only guess

[@Airliner]

that a321neo @2:51 already looking old

[@davidharris2519]

i thought the stretch 8 was the longest narrowbody

[@ASAviation]

I forgot to specify, longest narrowbody *twin-jet* is the 757-300.

[@whatever8282828]

Offutt is near Omaha, not Lincoln

[@ASAviation]

My mistake, not sure why I put Lincoln

[@whatever8282828]

@@ASAviation Eh, understandable. They are basically the only cities in Nebraska (I used to live there). I think the Lincoln airport is used for Air National Guard.
