One of the two variants launched by Boeing was not at all popular, with just 55 sales. Read on to find out what went wrong.

I always thought that all 757 variants were popular… Guess I was wrong. I just googled the -300 and it really is extremely long hahah

Wasn’t there also an issue with the 757 height for the gates too?

It’s an extraordinary aircraft anyways!

The 757-300 isn’t as Economical as the 200 and spews out a hell of a ton of wake turbulence.
