A little breezy and bumpy - fine day for a first flight

Thanks for that Sr,

Who would have guessed that the already aged 737 (at the time of the 757 first flight) would outlive the 757 in production by decades.

I remember my first flight on a 757 in 1986 from Denver to Seattle. I was excited to fly in the newest of the Boeing stable. I requested a window seat and I ended up with a window seat without a window. It was a clear and cloudless day over some of the most spectacular scenery in the country and I couldn't see a thing.
