757 I would liken to one of the mid-60s big-block muscle cars, overpowered for the suspension and tires (not true in aviation context as it brakes great) but glorious!
The Vette would only let us bring one friend, a 753 lets us bring I dig what you're saying.
Apt description. If the 757 can’t get in and out of a runway… then you can’t do it! Short field performance like a C-130. Always enjoyed flying it more than the 67.

If I can remember the name of the 320 FTM that told us that, I’ll let him know someone on the internet said he’s dumb. Either way I never cared, I get paid the same no matter the altitude.
