Some of them came from UK charter airlines Monarch and Flyjet, plus of course "The Chaps" British Airways. A couple also came through STN after being purchased from an Israeli charter company. These aircraft are easily distinguishable by the black beards around the radome.

Default 757 Web Site

Here's a web site with info on our 757's. For some reason, the web site has not been updated since Feb 2010....I'm guessing more airplanes have been bought and waiting the required cargo conversions.

This web site gives the history of each a/c...an interesting read.

Throw Avianca, Air Italy, and Delta in the mix. 3 Delta and 2 Air Italy PW engined birds will be on line by November. A total of 18 for the calender year.
