Boeing 757-200F Fedex

This is my latest creation: The Boeing 757-200F. The 757 is the largest single-aisle passenger aircraft in the world. Capable of carrying up to 239 people, it was meant to be almost an intermediate aircraft, meant to bridge the size gap between domestic aircraft like the 737 or A320, and bigger long-haul jets like the 747. It wasn’t that big of hit initially, but as the popularity of ‘middle of the market’ jets like the 757 rose, the aircraft quickly became a success, as did the 767, which was a wide-body aircraft with almost identical systems and configuration, to the point where pilots of 757 can easily convert to the 767, and vice versa. Affectionately nicknamed “The pocket rocket” by pilots, due to the aircrafts engines being extremely powerful for an aircraft its size; and is also known for its highly automated cockpit and systems. First flying in 1982 at that year’s Farnborough Air Show, and entered service the next year with Eastern Airlines. The aircraft is still in service with many airlines, but is starting to approach retirement. FedEx is the largest operator of the freighter variant of the 757, such as the aircraft depicted, with 117 in service.

This one of my simpler replicas. As usual, AG groups in instructions. Have fun!
