Boeing 757-200 from Continental Airlines at Ringway/Manchester Intl Airport by Tom Hughes

by Ted Mcgrath on 2010/03/06


Here's three of the many airliners that cross the Atlantic from Manchester every day. Features US Airways A330, Continental 757 and the new Delta 767-400 service to JFK- watch how the 757 'bounces' across the runway as she taxies out. Her winglets look superb!

The way the economy is now, they’ll be utilizing A320s A319s and 737s across the atlantic. Air Canada already uses the A319 from St Johns to London and Flyglobespan goes from Boston to Glasgow on the 737! Maybe the’ll start using express jet embraers erj 145s to cross the atlantic! Would anyone be uncomfortable in an erj 145 over the atlantic?

Those Delta colors were the best along w/ the old old ones when the noses were black in the front

I’m with you on that, they are my fav aircraft but kinda chocked up for a Transatlantic flight.

just got back to MAN using the Continetal 757, they are fantastic to fly on (with continental) the AVOD was great

nice to see a 757/200 with over wing exits rather then the smaller door behind the wing like we see on uk charter 757/200

commercial planes are soooooooo cute i love them……….and when those engines kick off ohhhh boyyyy talk about power…talk about a christmas present if i can get one of those lol….

Yea you’re right, its a 764! I should of noticed the doors more carefully.

Must be the video display, making it look shorter than it actually is! :)

If that is a 762, I will eat the plane… the whole thing!

Besides, Delta doesn’t have any 762ERs, only domestic on the 762.

JamalTWashington March 6, 2010 at 6:49 pm

that is clearly a 767-400. notice the raked wingtips? 762′s don’t have that

Leafsgoalie March 6, 2010 at 7:45 pm

If it were simply the lack of food on USA carriers , fine, but it is the down right rudeness and contempt that many crews seem to give, a take it or leave it attitude!!!

musico81986 March 6, 2010 at 7:55 pm

You sure thats a Delta 764? Looks like a 762.

Great video! Love this angle from Manchester!

jorasave March 6, 2010 at 8:03 pm

love those 757 engine sounds

The a330 and a340 has pretty steep downward angle while the Boeing 767 has little upward angle.

@AznPwnageFTW
not their fault. its whatever the airport’s ground crew offers them. but it does matter if usA or united decide to pay them.
since Delta bought NWA, you’re gunna see some major changes.

RunTheRockers March 6, 2010 at 8:48 pm

this was the first time i viewed an airplane like the first clip and is all airplanes kinda slanted downwards or is it just the a330?

SamMaiisfield March 6, 2010 at 9:34 pm

i flew with us airways and my service was exellent but i was in business class

ModelAirports March 6, 2010 at 9:38 pm

United is gettin caught up in the recession.

NJAceSgt March 6, 2010 at 10:16 pm

I’ma pilot of the Continental 757. On flight simulator that is.

AznPwnageFTW March 6, 2010 at 10:49 pm

US Airways and United are horrible. On a 6 hour flight, they only serve drinks twice with NO PRETZELS OR PEANUTS WATSOEVER. Continental and Delta are better than them.

titan123 March 6, 2010 at 11:31 pm

i work for delta stupid thats a 767-400 not a 757 im talking about the delta plane
