The 757 has more thrust-to-weight than any commercial jet its size. Pilots love its hot-rod takeoff performance. There is no true replacement.
Fun fact
The 757 can take off from runways as short as 6,000 feet fully loaded — perfect for airports like Reagan National.
How to spot one
Long, slender fuselage with oversized engines. Looks like a stretched 737 but isn't. Pointy nose. T-tail no, conventional tail.
