757-200

Boeing · USA

The 757 is famous for its "sports car" performance. With massive power-to-weight ratios, it could take off from short, hot, or high-altitude airports (like Mexico City) and fly directly to Europe, a unique capability for a narrow-body.

Legacy Fact: Its versatility allowed airlines to open new long-haul "thin" routes that didn't have enough passengers for a 747.
