Description
Well today British Airways retires their B757's after 27yrs of service. I will certainly miss them after growing up near heathrow when BA had over 30 of them! The last 3 will retire this evening, 30th October 2010.This was my last ever BA B757 pic, taken on my 26th birthday, on June 12th 2010.
G-CPES landing at Heathrow on runway 27L.
Cheerio BA's B757's.

quite a money-maker for us. they have almost the revenue-load capacity of a 767-200,yet at a fraction of the operating cost for a trip to Europe.

Shes dying out. Remember when LTN was full of them. Air2000, Britannia, Monarch, Ambasador on a regular basis.
Now BA is done with theirs .. my fave plane by a long shot. Nice pic man.

Yes, I remember! Infact, I saw a Thomson Airways (First choice livery) B757 land at Luton a few months ago but you're right, its not a regular site at Luton now.
Its sad to see BA's B757's go. For me being born in 1984 (and the B757 joining in 1983) and spending my life growing up right near heathrow, the B757 seemed to be as much part of BA as concorde was and BA have retired both too early in my opinion.
I agree, the B757 is my fave too.

Yeah thats about it .. even Monarch doesnt run them in much anymore. Making me hate A319'S and 737's.
Miss the distinctive sound they make as they climb.

Yep, the A319,20,21 is relatively boring in comparison to the B757. The B757 has a great look and has a great climb.

Great shot, the end of a great era for BA and the 757!

Yep, certainly is the end of an era. The B757 was my fave type in their fleet.

A320 and A321's.
Such ashame. I will really miss the B757 in BA livery.

Okay. US Airways uses A320's and A319's.

Yup. I live near Philadelphia International Airport and they go overhead all the time.

I live just across from the city of Philadelphia and the approach/climb out paths pass right over where I live. I grew up here so it's nothing unusual. One of the paths starts right over a major intersection and you can stand in a restaurant parking lot and see the planes make the turn onto final.
