I have been wanting to get myself on another 757 for a while now and with the very uncertain time that we live in I was worried they could be retired from service with little to no warning. So with that in my mind I decided to book this trip down to the beautiful island of Corfu in order to do some spotting while there and to get myself on a 757 and return back to Manchester on a 767!
Now out of the 757's left with Jet2 this one, G-LSAB is the oldest. At 32 years old, started flying in 1988!
A beautiful morning in Manchester surprisingly, departure time was 7:30am, so the low golden sunlight really makes the RB211 engines glow during the initial climb out of RWY05L at Manchester. We turned right slightly during the climb and headed east passing over Doncaster & Sheffield airport and out over the north sea. Crossing into mainland Europe just to the south of Amsterdam, the city and airport visible in the video. Continuing south east over Germany, the Dolomite Mountains and down the Adriatic coastline. Some nice views of Tivat before starting our descent. During the approach on the northerly runway we pretty much circled around the entire island offering some spectacular views so I've not cut it short or edited much of the approach out as the views of the island are incredible. Golden beaches and turquoise sea all around the coast.
My only complaint about the 757 and I've noticed this before is the deafening air con. Which seems to get louder as the engines spool up. It almost drowns out the beautiful RB211 roar during take off.

As always by Full Flight I don’t mean that I filmed from take off to landing without stopping, I mean the video includes all stages of the flight.

The beautiful 757 ..... those engines ! 👍
-
I love it when you hit 10000ft and you hear the dong and the 250 knot restriction is lifted then the aircraft pitches down a bit and you start to accelerate. Usually that is when the sound of the airstream starts to drown out the engines.

Loved the shot of Emley Moor TV mast. Has to be one of the most imposing structures in the UK.
-
Wow what a gorgeous approach into Corfu! Nicely captured, I hope I go to Greece one day.
-
What an aircraft !!!!! My wife and i loved and looked forwrd to flying over to Kos twice a year on the 757 , in the 90's.
-
Plus, that's more work for you to edit the video when you put music in it. So glad you do so well making these videos. They're some of the best on YouTube.
-
Brilliant, great info too.
-
I’ll always have find memories of the 757….. jet2 can’t quite retire them yet as they haven’t started deliveries of the 321NX… but, like all airlines, they gotta modernise to keep the bottom line healthy. Personally I was concerned whether LS would survive the shutdown, but I’m glad they did as the U.K. airline scene is severely short of non BA carriers!

Been to Corfu 5 years ago, albeit by ferry from the Italian port of Bari. I definitely want to return to the island at some point, hopefully by air.

Like the 757 not so many flying now , love Corfu too been there many times
-
I’m so glad that you got yourself on G-LSAB, my favourite aircraft of all time! I flew her last year LBA-CFU, and she’s still going strong at 32 years old!
-
