This video was taken around the end of 1980s in VHS format. The video shows final stages of assembly of Boeing 757 meant for (Royal) Nepal Airlines. Also seen is the airliner being painted with (then) familiar (Royal) Nepal Airlines livery on the aircraft exterior.

Near the end of the video, the brand new aircraft is seen being pulled out of Boeing's Renton (WA) factory, handed to pilots, and flown out of Renton, Washington State.

Many jet airliner pilots prefer flying Boeing 757s because Boeing 757 was by design fitted with much powerful jet engines than it needed (or has far better weight to thrust ratio). This enabled 757s to take off from fairly short runways and to be able to take off with ease from airports located at higher attitudes where lower atmospheric pressures degrade the efficiency of jet engines.
