On Feb. 19, 1982, the Boeing 757-200 took its first flight. Boeing won the Collier trophy in 1982 for developing and introducing a new generation of advanced, fuel-efficient twinjets. The single-aisle 757 and twin-aisle 767 share the same flight deck so pilots trained to fly one can also fly the other, increasing flexibility and reducing costs for airlines. The Collier Trophy is the industry’s oldest and most prestigious recognition awarded annually for the greatest achievement in American #aeronautics or #astronautics.
