This first 757 from Boeing was delivered to Eastern Airlines on December
22th 1982, and the registration number for it was N506EA. The aircraft
stayed with Eastern until the airline ceased trading on January 18th
1991. The 757 was taken over by General Electric Credit Corporation
on July 12th 1991. Almost one year after this, May 31st 1992, the aircraft
was back in business with US Air as N602AU. Today it's still current
by US Airways, but it's getting old ....
a number of early 757 have already been broken up.
