I can't believe I have only just come across this video! I flew on this aircraft to Ibiza many a year ago... I remember it well. You were very fortunate to get a personal tour before it's retirement from the fleet.
LOL. Love the shot of you with that glorious RB211.....that's awesome!.....not to mention getting the chance to sit in the Captain's seat on a 752. But, yeah......also very sad to see her go. Thanks very much for these two vids.
+Groyd It was fantastic! I agree! Yes all of their 757-200's were leased. The only one still operating fully is G-FCLI but she also will have left TCX by the end of 2015 :(
How did you get one of these tours? I spoke with Thomas Cook around 2 months ago trying to organise one, but they said they've not ever done them before. How did you get it?
No, this particular 757-200 (G-WJAN) was sold to ‘Wells Fargo Bank Northwest’ and re-registered as ‘N553CC’, and then the aircraft was sold again to ‘SF Airlines (ShunFeng)’ and re-registered as ‘B-1432’. SF Airlines still operate the aircraft to this day, and the airframe is currently 22.6 years old.
Crewed this one a few times years ago think was a ex my travel one by memory nice memories seeing the cabin again :)

You should be greatly fortunate to go inside the cockpit inside this incredible aircraft. Nice video.
Yeah! Thanks 😊

I like how you're able to walk under a 757 and you're not able to walk under a 767
i flew on this Aircraft in 1996 down to Menorca from Manchester With Airtours International, Fantastic Aircraft. Such a shame she now works for FedEX
I used to be Crew for Thomas Cook and flew on this aircraft a few times!
Very cool! This bird was leased to WestJet for a number of winters, sad to see that she'll be retired.
+dude8472productions Thanks! I know! Glad you got a video of G-FCLI when she was over there :)
dude8472productions wait will she be retired
I flew 300 version didn't like it to loud but flew on there smartlynx a320 was amazing

How did you get one of these tours? I spoke with Thomas Cook around 2 months ago trying to organise one, but they said they've not ever done them before. How did you get it?
+uk_planespotter It was specially arranged, you can't get tours unfortunately!
+CogAviation who did you arrange it with?
I can't give out any info on this, sorry.
+CogAviation could you please PM me on how you did it? I'd really like the experience and cant understand if you can do it, why nobody else can!
I would love a tour like that. Im mad on planes. Imagine a A380 tour
Was it scrapped??

My favorite airplane "boeing 757"... cool filmed video....."please check my last video"....:-)))

i dislike this plane its too loud (i flew to turkey and back in it)
Thanks for watching!
glad to be of help!
GearGrindzGaming same i flew to turkey but on a Thomas cook A330
The A330 Is the best plane in the fleet :) and where do you come from?? you must come from somewhere far to travel in an a330
GearGrindzGaming so? there's nothing better than hearing those trent engines spool up at takeoff 😃
