Boeing 757-200 (TF-FIU)

In another significant news of the glorious Boeing 757, after four years of hibernation in Victorville (VCV, since March 25, 2020) Deltas's N709TW finally departed last wednesday April 17, 2024 from VCV due to QRO (Queretaro, Mexico) for maintenance and probably return to service. Have not read of another commercial airliner that was this long in COVID hibernation so until I am corrected, N709TW holds the "Commercial Airliner COVID Hibernation Record".

@Jose R Gonzalez Interesting! Boeing never should have quit production, it's my favorite airliner, one of the last of their greats (I'll give a nod at the B777 I guess, then it was all downhill...). They would do 340 KIAS and could land on fairly short runways, and just an elegant look with that tall landing gear and winglets. Sigh... The Lockheed Constellation of the 80s...

Great livery.

I'm flying round-trip to Zurich and back in a couple of months on Icelandair, 757-200's the entire trip. I hope I get one of these with the cool livery.
