1998 | 757-200

Aerostar ordered the 757 knowing that the aircraft could replace the 727. The 757 would prove to be more than a replacement for the 727, as it took high-density flights in roles from Seattle to Salt Lake City and New York to London. The 757 played a vital part in the rapid deregulation-era buildup of Aerostar, as many of the 757s were moved into new routes and to add new frequencies to larger routes.
In 1998, all Aerostar 757s were repainted in the new 1998 livery. They would be refitted with winglets starting in 2005.
N582AR was the 82nd 757 delivered to Aerostar. She was delivered in 1999, refitted with winglets in 2007, and is currently flying in 2009 colors.
