The flight rotated off the runway quickly because we were lightly loaded for the 1.5 hour flight. Apologies for the reflections through some of the video. Please subscribe or leave a comment -- it encourages me to make more of these vids!

    The 757 is such an amazing aircraft. Loud, overpowered, and an absolute performance beast. It’s one of my favorites.
  • @ct8583
    I absolutely love the 757. Such a powerful and wonderfully designed airplane with no true replacement. It stands alone.
  • @JoyoSnooze
    That was a gorgeous climb-out. The 757 is just the most badass airliner there has ever been. Thanks for the video!
  • @pauleyd80
    A genuinely superb aircraft. One of Boeing’s high points, no question. Sleek, powerful, versatile, climb well, fly well and can stop on a dime.

    For me the 757-200 and the F-14 are the two sexiest things to ever grace the skies.
  • @nitzer280
    757-200 is my favorite of all time. What a sports car of a commercial airplane!
  • @nthom1956
    A lightly loaded 757 even at less than full takeoff thrust is a beast to behold!
  • Thanks Mr En Route, You just made an old guy happy, I had an eargasm from your Video. I live near YVR, so still see lots of 757s. Nicely done, and the sound is SO good. Greetings to all, Bas.

    Every time people record a 757-200, they’re always in front of the engine
  • @mrsmchistory
    Love this! The 757 is my all time favourite commercial aircraft! Just love the sound of the RB-211s
  • @TimMccoy-vz8yo
    Absolutely love this! I have always loved 757's. Excellent video! The sound is amazing.....nothing like it.

    I do like watching takeoff like this. And SFO is particularly good. It has been a few years. Usually when I go to the Bay Area now I go into Oakland. But I always enjoy the view of the bay after takeoff from SFO. Thanks for posting.
  • This is one of the best takeoff videos I’ve ever seen. Perfect view of the turbine engine, it looks brand new as well. And the views are stunning
  • I only flew on a Boeing 757 once but I truly enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed this video. I used to work at SFO so I'd see the 757 often.

    Now this is a video worth watching over and over! This is Guerry again, and I thank¬-you for sharing. I thoroughly enjoy those slingshot type of takeoffs and the way I am slammed back into my seat whenever I have flown. It sort of reminds me of making my first solo flight when I was training for my private ticket. Without my instructor, the boost in performance of that Cessna 152 was remarkable, and it felt like I was almost able to climb straight up. By the way, I am back from the hospital after 3 months. Gosh it feels great to be home. It also feels great to be typing this comment on a keyboard and not pecking an iPad with a stylus. Although the 757 is among my favorite aircraft, I prefer its profile with the P&W engines over the RR. I think things looks sharper with the shortened nacelle housing, which reveals part of the core in contrast to the RR’s complete housing. As a side note, there is one other thing that pops into my head, since the 757 is narrow-bodied. I do not understand why passengers somehow feel confined on long flights in a narrow-body aircraft. Personally, I feel crowded on a wide-bodied aircraft, especially when it is full. The service seems much quicker in the narrow-body than on the wide one, and I find there is less competition when it comes to using the lavatory. When traveling by commercial air, I either fly business class or do not make the trip, and everything seems mute after a couple of pre-departure Bloody Marys. The window reflections do not interfere with my enjoyment of the video. Have you ever thought about sneaking into the “magic” room where the pilots get their flight briefings so that you know the active runway and departure pattern? Then you could select a seat that is opposite the sun to eliminate the reflections. If necessary, bump a passenger who will most likely be complaining about something anyway, and have him sit on the sunny side. Regardless of the sun, the pattern did give you a fantastic view of the bay area. I’ve always noticed how beautiful everything looks from several thousand feet up, though it might be a dump at ground level. Even Port-au-Prince, Haiti seemed majestic from 1,000 feet and higher. When flying north to Seattle, were you able to catch a glimpse of Mt. St. Hellens? I flew from Los Angeles to Seattle one time, and we flew over it. To me, it looked as if God had taken a giant ice cream scooper to the mountainside. What a fascinating plus to the flight. I do have one question for you. Are you able to sense any change in flight performance between aircraft with the non-modified wingtips and those on the same type of aircraft with blended wingtips? Specifically I am curious about any improvements to takeoff and climb performance. Again, I thank-you very much for taking the time to video, edit, and do whatever to bring us your takeoff experience. As I stated, I will be viewing this video again to ensure that I did not miss anything.
