 |  Who has 757 with winglets and who is Presidential? So today while working the ramp I came across an aa 757 with winglets, I thought that co was the only airline that had 757 with winglets, are there any other U.S. carries with them? And while flying traffic watch over one of those illegal immigrant protests I heard of a call sign "Presidential", anyone know what that's all about. Thanks for your help... |

Both CO and AA both have 757's equiped with winglets. But both don't go by the callsign "Presidential." Hell..even Air Force One is "Air Force One" over the radios.

For the blended winglets... CO and AA just like Max said... also Iceland Air. And here's some interesting winglets for ya from the same company (www.aviationpartners.com) who put them on the 75's... Called the "Spiroid Tipped Wing"  Just for fun!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_call_sign And the presidential call sign most likely belongs to: http://www.presidential-aviation.com/aboutus.html Bob

not the same presidential, and some useless knowledge....but an ex-gf of mine and good friend...her father started up an airline in the early 90's i think called presidential. 737 service from dulles...he built concourse B I think. Obviously they went out of service.

Presidential is the callsign of Presidential Charters based out of FXE. Big white and red birds.

I thought Eli Lilly's Gulfstream with tip tanks looked odd...This plane takes the prize. |
