Eastern 757 is reborn as 'storm chaser'

摘要

For an old airliner, the Boeing 757-200 operated by Honeywell as a flying testbed is enjoying a remarkable second career. Delivered new to Eastern Airlines in February 1983, it was the fifth 757 to be produced and was registered as N504EA. Stints in storage and with UK charter operator MyTrav- el Airways followed, before its acquisition by Honeywell in 2005. After extensive modifications, it returned to service in 2008, now bearing the registration N757HW.
