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 by US Airways, but with this airline
in Chapter 11 .... who knows what next?
