It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more airplane art.
This week, sitting in the evening sun is a US Airways Airbus A321 (and not a Boeing 757) resting at New York John F Kennedy International Terminal 7.
Ohhhhkay. We’re all fighting what this is… so lets take a poll!

More airplane art next week!
looks like a 757 to me by its nose
My brain is fried after a busy weekend in the studio. I was counting the doors.. but not the nosecone. Corrected!
Flew on a brand new 3 day old A 321 back in December.. I was like oooooh nice
That is an A321.
Thank. I’m going to leave this to the power of the internets to decide – Poll Added.
All I know at the moment is, I’m hungry
This is an A321. US doesn’t fly 757s to JFK. Plus it’s missing the 757 overwing exits.
its too low to be a 757, it’s a 321
Look at the cockpit windows. The first window has a straight edged bottom. It’s an A321. B757s have a curved bottom edge to that same window pane.
And if you’d have seen it on push back you would have seen the little wingtip fences. B757-200 nose droops more, the third door is smaller, the sole antenna fairing on top is farther back and the outside cockpit windows don’t have the angle like those of the A321. Airbus Neos will have “sharklets”(like winglets)if AA/US gets any.
Definitely an A321. I can’t think of a 757 model that US has with 4 doors on each side. or with no overwing exits for that matter.
Definitely an A321, The shape of the cockpit windows is the same layout Airbus uses on the whole A320 family, so yeah.
I thought I was going mad. I know the A32x cockpit shape (the sharpness of the centreline of the top part..)
