Comment / Wearing a large sticker promoting Thomas Cook's campaign for another bank holiday here in the UK. I can remember when this Boeing 757 was first delivered from Seattle as the first aircraft for the new Flying Colours Airlines, back in February 1997. Of course, Flying Colours was later merged with Caledonian Airways to become JMC Air, which then became Thomas Cook Airlines in 2003.

Comment / This Boeing 757 was originally delivered on April 13th 1989 to Air Europe, as G-BRJD. After then flying for a handful of other operators, she joined the Jet2 ranks in 2006, wearing this white livery.

Comment / Up until the end of last year, this Boeing 757 was a member of the American Airlines fleet. After an overhaul at Atlanta over the winter, she's now resplendent in the new Delta scheme with a smart pair of winglets, flying transatlantic duties for her new operator.

Comment / Two years on from when this photo was taken, Privatair's sole Boeing 757 now flies executives around with a smart pair of winglets. Note the aircraft turning downwind in the distance...

Comment / Arriving with a MyTravel call sign, as Thomas Cook takes over the old MyTravel flying program.

Comment / Another Jet2 Boeing 757 roars away from Newcastle's runway 25, this time destination Arrecife, Lanzarote. G-LSAA was first delivered in the summer of 1987 as G-BNSF to Air Europe.

Comment / XL Airways have again leased a Finnair Boeing 757 for their Newcastle ops this summer. Two aircraft have passed through, with OH-LBS, seen here, completing the second half of the contract. Recently retrofitted with winglets, she has retained a basic Finnair scheme, with XL.com titles.

Comment / G-ZAPX is Titan's VIP Boeing 757, fitted with just 96 leather seats. She's seen here arriving on a positioning flight from Gatwick, after filling in for a Monarch schedule. She is also the aircraft that Titan send on their more lucrative contracts - recent guests on board include the Rolling Stones.
