As a passenger, I always looked at the airline schedules to see if a 757 was available - I really was unconcerned about the airline. I truly loved that aircraft and had hoped that it would the future replacement of the 737. That was not to be; sad.
Working for Boeing in the late 80's I remember the 757 that had a F-22 flight deck attached to the front of the aircraft for Flight Control SW testing. Strange looking thing.
Was a B720 ...
Fascinating.
Honeywell/Garrett/AiResearch had a B-26 with a mount in the nose (bombardier "seat") for a turboprop. This AC is the second one so-modified. Previous had the mount near the nose on fuselage split line. Got photos.
Seems like the bigger story is that the 757 is widely adaptable for a range of uses limited only by our collective imaginations (and budgets).
