Boeing 757-2S7, serial number 22209, entered service with America West Airlines as N915AW. The aircraft joined the airline's fleet in the late 1980s and operated domestic and transcontinental routes across the United States. Configured with first class and economy seating, the 757-200 provided increased capacity and range compared with earlier narrowbody aircraft. Powered by Pratt and Whitney PW2000 engines, it offered strong performance and reliability for medium and long distance routes. N915AW continued service after the merger that created the new US Airways before eventually being retired as the airline modernized its fleet.
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.
