This unique looking Boeing 757 of the Honeywell company landed at Cologne Airport this weel. The Honeywell Aerospace flight test department uses the aircraft to test several technological advancement which will be part of the future of aviation. The B757 has been heavily modified for testing purposes. The aircraft can test almost anything from engines, mechanical systems, avionics or software and other equipment. The aircraft is the oldest active Boeing 757 and it was the fifth 757 aircraft which left the Boeing factory. Ti was built in 1982. I can` t believe there are already 757` s which are over 40 years old. Crazy how time flies. The aircraft arrived from London Stansted, then departed to Cardiff and returned to Cologne in the evening. I assume they ware doing some tests, but I don` t know the specific reason of the flight. I also included my aviation highlights of my visits to Cologne Airport. The Boeing 747-400 of Atlas Air arrived on runway 24 with a “three point landing“ which means that all gears touched down on the runway simultaniously. The airport is the european homebase of UPS. Several Boeing 747 airplanes can be seen at the airport on a daily basis. They mainly connect Asia and the USA with europe. The biggest highlight I ever filmed at cologne was the private Boeing 727 M-STAR which is also included in this video. Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
