I just retired from AA and was a 767/757 check airman for 11 years before they retired them. This was fun to watch and see the changes in the aircraft over time. A funny thought went thru my mind at 11:16. Anyone who has seen the movie, We Were Soldiers, when Sgt Maj Plumley answered the young officer that offered a greeting of " nice day". When the F/O came on board the Ca asked him how it looked all I could think of was that. I was expecting an answer of , I didn't ask for the G/D weather! How does the G/D airplane look? Just a funny thought and before ya'll get mad at me, I was raised up in aviation by WWII and Korean and Vietnam era pilots. We late Boomers had to learn to change our ways in CRM....thanks again for posting that.
Note that the aircraft in the video has no GPS and stuff, so some procedures will be different in your sim.. also Boeing recommended procedures have changed somewhat since.
Wow no KILLR STAR, the 30s were 29s back then. I’m surprised how similar the 75 is to the 737, with the main difference being knobs and buttons instead of switches.
i'm in love with the brown instrument panels from older boeing aircraft. very classy!!

Thank you for your service! I am quite fond of the 757 I always liked traveling in one. The acceleration on that aircraft is incredible!
yeah a walk-around for what a gorgeous day to fly? lol
amazing. i grew up in a Northwest family, thank you for this!
if this was US Airways that Cost Index would be 16. nothing like driving 45mph on the highway
Thank you very much for this upload. Currently I fly the 757 from Flight Factor in Xplane12 a lot. I learned some details from it.

yeah old FCOM's and FMS's don't suffice

Do you have a video like this for the DC-9?
Boeing. Such a corrupt company
