757 heavy
Not all 757's are alike - including such things as interiors, gross weight, etc. I flew the newest 757's including the -300 - and the 757 is a good plane - at high gross weights - single engine performance is - like all other planes loaded to the max - climbs very slowly - Vegas on a warm day - would be difficult ! I think of them (757) as a Chevy as compared to a Caddy - it does the job but not as advanced as it could be - - I also flew the L-1011 -a true "caddy" and that plane had it all - with the technology from 1970 ! The 757 does well on short runways but the landing weight has to be kept to a minimum and the landing charts always checked. Approach speed control is critical especially the last 100 feet - exta speed will "kill".
