First 757 with winglets enters the fleet.

Ship #5636. I found this picture on another website.

Can anyone tell me how much more range these retrofitted A/C will have?

Is this the "start" of Trans Atlantic flights using 757's from the East Coast?

Any other thoughts on this?

That plane just screams "look out Boston" all over it. Most likely AMS-BOS, I heard from rumors. Maybe the Boeing website will have that info?

Wrong Jenny. Maybe the scab third party chop shop that installed that will provide a translator so the technician, mechanic, bottom of the barrel sheet metal hack at pemco, sasco...insert name here... can tell you.

Happy flying!

Only on the -200's. Fuel savings of between 5% and 7%.

I remember they had a prettier one with circles before showing the range. Oh well.

Approx 200 miles extra range thru the reduced drag and reduced fuel consumption.
