 Re: Wichita\'s final 757 to take a bow

I belive the 757 has the fastest acceleration and climb performance of the boeing planes but I may be wrong. Too lazy to find numbers right now I guess. I know its been said too many times, but that is the sexiest plane ever made. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nope your exactly right...fastest acceleration and climb perfomance of an 2 engine jet.
Possibly any commercial jet flying.
Hense the term that it is affectionately called the 'hot rod".
As for mtsu I have never really been a 737 fan never hated em but they never really excited me much.
But that all changed with the new NG737 they definately excite me. I love the new wing and it looks great with the blended winglets.
It makes the "classics" look well dated. Tho I will say this the airframe is getting kinda dated and I think Boeing has done all that they can to give the plane extra life.
If Boeing isn't already doing so they need to think of the 737's sucessor.
Ona side note though the NG737's are kinda on my sh_t list cause there sucess hastened the end of production of the 757 line...but I'm learning to let go. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
The 7E7 continues the tradition of Boeing creating sexy ass looking commerical jets.
I just hope that the 7E7 has the same climb/acceleration performance as the 757 if not better.
