The story
The 757-200 hangs huge engines on a slim single-aisle body, which gives it hot-rod takeoff performance from short runways and the legs to cross the Atlantic. Pilots love it, and nothing has quite replaced it.
The 757-200 was built with two door layouts: four doors a side, certified for 239 seats, or three doors plus overwing exits for 224.
