+FlyingMiner I'm guessing you mean 737 and 767? Both the 67 and 47 were larger than the 57. But, I agree. The 757 was, and still is the sports car of commercial airliners. Speedy, beautiful and still going strong!
This is a nice video! I had the distinct pleasure of flying on this aircraft this past week and it was very enjoyable and awesome! The power this plane has going down that runway during the takeoff run is simply enormous. I certainly hope to fly on this plane many times down the road! I was impressed!
Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ Yup flew this type twice, both five years ago. One was flown by Jet2,the other by Thomas Cook. I flew G-LSAD from EMA (my local airport) to Bodrum, and the TCX one from LGW to YYZ for a Canadian break and my father getting married!
Kevin Turner Wow! I'm not too sure about Thomson, but some airlines still operate the 757 with the old monitors! I bet that was an experience, thanks! :D
TravelTenerife Thanks! The 757 is by far my favorite, it is just outstanding. Those winglets sure do make that little difference but it's great! I will probably start uploading planespotting videos in a couple of weeks :D
Hey Conor. Great vid......great info. I liked that pilot. He seemed very professional and informative.......even let you guys know that he'd have to brake pretty hard on landing.....cool. Hope you have a great week!.....oh, and try to actually leave the threshold of 02 at least once in a while.....haha. ;) Looking forward to your plane spotting vid from Skiathos. :)
Thanks mate! :D he really was generally nice and most importantly, he loved the aircraft he flies! The first officer transferred from the 737 to the 757 and said that it was the best decision, he absolutely loves it! The first time he's ever flown into Skiathos as well so we were both new to the island. The captain took the landing so well that the braking wasn't as expected at all! A really enjoyable flight, thanks :D and btw I haven't actually filmed anything yet at 02 lol but it's Thomson day tomorrow so I'll be straight there in the morning until night!
Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ Cool stuff. I really like that you try to talk to the pilots whenever you fly. And, yeah, it appeared to me that he did indeed do a great job on that landing. Have fun, man! :)
Have they stopped the saftey video? Like do they only have a demo now? When I went in 2013 they still had it, going to zante this year from bristol on a 752 cant wait!
I'm going with thomsons to get to gran caneria I may go on a 757 if I do do you feel the takeoff much on these I've never been a big fan of takeoff I just like the noise
+Traindude1234 Shields You don't "feel" it on a 757 anymore than any other aircraft. You just get an awesome sound from the engines on this aircraft that you don't seem to get on newer jets.
+Jamie Slaney I am not sure if they used NDB, to be honest, it's pretty useless anyway but on a good day with good visibility I don't see why they should need to use it. Nothing like a bit of hand-flying after all :D
+Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ true :-) guess they would have done the procedure up to seeing the runway then fly visually from probably downwind :-) great video though
+BLXDK this is my first time riding Delta and a 757 and 777 from Orlando to Singapore i didn't know that it can have real food on a airplane (This is my first time riding a airplane)
Oh, let me explain it for you. (: You usually get a brick with some fruit salad, a dessert (often some sort of chocolate cake) , and the main course. For kids, we usually get like meatballs or pasta or something. Adults get more like grilled chicken in sauce and so on. Sometimes u get a juice with it. Have a nice flight (;
Filling the gap between the 747 and 767 by building the 757 turned into the best plane in the world :) for me, I love this plane!
me too

Yeah that's what I meant! 757 Is an amazing rocket!
That throttle back @ 14:30 was crazy! Sounded like he pulled back to idle mid climb!
Josephious Brosif no kidding eh? i was wondering what he was doing.
Awesome Engine Sound on Takeoff
Oh wow, those RB211s sounding great as always, nice video :-)
what a Lovely sound
+Nordic Aviation Certainly is! :D

Awesome video mate! Love those engines :-)
Thanks! :D they are awesome aren't they?!
A stunning flight that was. Well done. :-)
Sure was! Thanks! :D
Your welcome, Sir. :-)
What a video!! Those RB-211s sound amazing, huge like :D
RB211's always sound amazing! Thanks :D

Great video. I flew Aberdeen to Palma 3 years ago on 757-200 Thomson but no winglets. Had the retro 1980s TV monitors in the centre of cabin roof!!
Kevin Turner Wow! I'm not too sure about Thomson, but some airlines still operate the 757 with the old monitors! I bet that was an experience, thanks! :D
Brilliant footage - bought back some memories! Nice to see it recorded from the other side!
Mochi Aviation Thanks! I'm sure it did, I bet they were happy memories. It is such a beautiful Island and just happens to have an awesome airport! :D
Spectacular Video! Love the 757, and with the winglets, they look even more awesome! Certainly looking forward to your videos from LGSK!
TravelTenerife Thanks! The 757 is by far my favorite, it is just outstanding. Those winglets sure do make that little difference but it's great! I will probably start uploading planespotting videos in a couple of weeks :D
Great to hear! Looking forward already ;)
Great video! I too sat in 7A TOM4558 to Skiathos on 29th May this year.
+Geoff S Haha that's a coincidence! :D
Superb; thanks.
Nicely done! Great takeoff!
***** Thanks :D
Excellent vid...well done sir....
I was on stand 50 on the 7/7/15, 787 dreamliner all the way to montego bay! Amd we disembarked on stand 50 when we got back
Great video
I went on the exact same plane in the same seat literally a week ago I was flying from Heraklion, Crete to bristol
good footage
Beautyfull long video! Skiathos is the europe Sint Maarten airport :P
NL Aviation It certainly is! thanks a lot :D
WHAT AN AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGG VIDEO GREATTTTTTT
+MsAbigail1986 Thaaaankssss! :D

AviationEagle32 Thanks man! Yeah, it was a brilliant flight thanks for asking :D

George Golding Thanks! :D

I love this pilot, using Zulu times and making ATC calls known to passengers, GET THEM INVOLVED. TAKE NOTES
14:34 Thrust was Reduced to Climb Thrust Sounds like
Nice video! I'm going to Kefalonia with Thomson in August on BY4218, I'm sure hoping its a 757!
If you log on and go to select your seats, it will give you the map of the aircraft, the 757's have 41 rows :D
Thanks! Will definitely get one in front of the wing!
Hello Wore you allowed to use small personal music players With headphones (flight safe mode on) During taxi take off and landing ???
nice!
49:19 Firm Landing the Runway at Skiathos is just 1.600m/4.450ft The 757 is the largest Aircraft able to fly There.
49:01 look at those buildings
Have they stopped the saftey video? Like do they only have a demo now? When I went in 2013 they still had it, going to zante this year from bristol on a 752 cant wait!
heyJOE I think they have to be honest, it's not very often you see it anymore. That will be brilliant! Have fun :D
Thank you, I hope to record the flight!
you landed in skiathos which is Europe's version of St marteen cool!
+Traindude1234 Shields You're right! Thanks :D
Why were the spoilers raised at 9:10?
Last time I flew into Skiathos the coach drivers were on strike due to petrol price going up to 50 cents/litre.
I'm going with thomsons to get to gran caneria I may go on a 757 if I do do you feel the takeoff much on these I've never been a big fan of takeoff I just like the noise

what happened at 14:30?? why did the captain pull the throttle down and suddenly push it back up again??
ThomsonAirways 757 It's an altitude restriction when departing Gatwick to the North then East. Prevents conflicting traffic with Heathrow and that.
oh ok thx for letting me know :)
4:13 was that the special easyJet Unicef livery??
I have seen that at Inverness airport many times..lol I didn't think it was rare but I guess I am lucky XD
Didn't need to fly the dreaded NDB/ Locator approach then!
+Jamie Slaney I am not sure if they used NDB, to be honest, it's pretty useless anyway but on a good day with good visibility I don't see why they should need to use it. Nothing like a bit of hand-flying after all :D
+Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ true :-) guess they would have done the procedure up to seeing the runway then fly visually from probably downwind :-) great video though
~*1,000*~
what kind of food is there on a 757
+Jay Trammell Like any other airplane food.
+BLXDK this is my first time riding Delta and a 757 and 777 from Orlando to Singapore i didn't know that it can have real food on a airplane (This is my first time riding a airplane)
Oh, let me explain it for you. (:
You usually get a brick with some fruit salad, a dessert (often some sort of chocolate cake) , and the main course. For kids, we usually get like meatballs or pasta or something. Adults get more like grilled chicken in sauce and so on. Sometimes u get a juice with it.
Have a nice flight (;
+BLXDK thanks im leaving next monday
Awesome! Fly safe!
