757 Lust?

I liked this paint job. Rode on them a few times back in the early 2000s.

And, because I stumbled across it while looking for the TWA 757, check this out.

I'm in the minority because always enjoyed the 75 over flying the 76. Admittedly part of that was because I flew the 75 significantly more. Both are awesome airplanes for different reasons but I always liked the look of the 75 and the solid, slightly heavier feel it had when hand flying.
 
I will say, when I did my SCK photoshoot and I saw Allegiant upgraded to a 757, I had a half-chub up until the point when it rotated in front of us. At which point I was torped.

Women just don't care like we do in most cases... They'll tell you how "cute" a paint scheme looks though...

The last few girls I've dated have said, "OH MY GOD AIR CANADA IS SO CUTE LOOK AT THE MAPLE LEAF!". Air Canada did it right.

Rode one of their -300's from PHX to MDW back in the day. A -300 getting stopped at MDW was quite an experience. On another note, my very first airplane ride was on an ATA L-1011, DTW - Gatwick, with a fuel stop in Bangor...back when Dino juice was cheap.

Rode one of their 75s OAK to OGG. Also flew Aloha for a day trip to HNL on that trip. Bummed that they aren't around anymore...both of 'em

I'm watching "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" and trying to explain to my lady friend exactly why the Boeing 757 is such a drop-dead sexy piece of machinery. I'm having a hard time getting beyond the whole "because it just is" explanation.

Can any of you industry guys articulate it better for us? I'm just a GA guy and don't carry much merit in the discussion lol.

To be fair, slapping Eddie on the tail of anything makes it cooler.
