- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- Manufactured by GeminiJets as a limited edition, highly collectible model, this UPS Boeing 757-200F - Registration N464UP - has been meticulously recreated from Boeing's blueprints and features realistic landing gear and detailed graphics, assuring the utmost accuracy and superior quality.
- The Boeing 757-200 was designed to replace the renowned Boeing 727-200. Airlines needed an aircraft with a slightly higher passenger capacity, yet it had to be economically superior to the 727. With initial orders placed from the launch customers, Eastern Airlines and British Airlines, the 757-200 became a reality. The prototype aircraft was first flown on February 19, 1982, and upon completion of its certification, was launched into service by Eastern Airlines on January 1, 1983.
- UPS was the launch customer for the cargo version of the 757-200, which went into service in 1987. Manufactured with a large cargo door on the left front side of the aircraft's fuselage, the 757-200F can carry a sizable payload with a range of 3,377 nautical miles, making it suitable for transatlantic operations.
- A total of 1,050 Boeing 757s were manufactured from 1981 to 2004, with many of them still in service around the world.
