Finally got to fuel a 757 today. Mostly it's been A319's and A321's. 757's are a tall plane. We use a 7 foot tall ladder to get up to the fuel connector. I'm 6 foot tall. On the Airbuses, I have to duck my head to not bump on the bottom of the wing. On a 757, I had to add a 2 foot platform at the top, and still reach up over my head to connect the hose.
