Boeing 757-225, registered N512EA, was part of Eastern Air Lines' original 757-200 order placed jointly with British Airways in 1978, making Eastern the launch customer for the type when Boeing delivered its first production 757 to the airline on December 22, 1982. Eastern operated the world's first commercial 757 flight on January 1, 1983, from Atlanta to Tampa, and several early Eastern 757s, including aircraft involved in the type's certification and promotional tours, carried distinctive large "757" numerals on their tails instead of the airline's usual "hockey stick" livery design.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed as a narrow-bodied, twin-engined airliner to replace the 727, the 757 was first flown on February 19th, 1982. Developed in tandem with the wide-bodied 767 twinjet, both aircraft share a common digital cockpit layout and are operated by a two man flight crew. Thanks to a proven reliability track-record, the 757 is approved for extended twin engine operations (ETOPS) making it a popular choice for airlines flying transatlantic routes. A total of 1050 aircraft were built before production ceased in 2004, however many airframes have since been retrofitted with drag-reducing blended winglets to help improve fuel economy. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
