Pictures: Northern Pacific Airways unveils first aircraft with its slick corporate livery
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — Alaska's low-cost startup Northern Pacific Airways unveiled its first aircraft with the airline's slick livery. The airline will soon launch revenue flights between Asia and the US via Anchorage. Northern's Boeing 757 jet features a dark color palette of greys and blacks, with hints of blue and green on the winglets that represent the northern lights.

If the 757 is the best aircraft ever ask yourself why it isn't still being produced and hasn't been for nearly 20 years.
Easy question. Easy answer: Shi$$y corporate decisions at Boeing being made by greedy executives putting short term $ gains ahead of mid-long term strategy and market position.
I liked the flying in the 757. Also think that is one of most visually attractive bird.
Only plane I've been on that will push you back in the seat at 350 and climb......thanks to no fuel dump....you haven't lived till you have peered into that engine at 100% power from about ten feet outside. Pure violence as it trys to jump the chocks and cream ya.........LOL
I still think the 757 looks awkward on the ground.
Certainly has a different look. 727 fuselage moved forward a generation and that is the result. Too bad the Boeing bozos put a knife in it too early. Airbus may think otherwise.
