I'll also definitely miss the 757 when they are eventually removed from the fleet. Pretty much guaranteed upgrade, ability to turn left on entrance (although I hear the A321 has this too), great dispatch reliability etc.

However, that overpowered takeoff is exactly why they're going to go the way of the dodo eventually. Overpowered=gas guzzler=not economic for most US missions. Sad but true. Price of oil is king these days, not coolness of the aircraft
