  Boeing 757 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 757 uses many of the same components as the widebody 767, and the two planes have a common FAA type-rating, enabling flight crews to earn certification for both by training and testing only on one.
The C-32, a variant of the 757, is the usual transportation for the Vice President of the United States.
A 757 is also serving as the Presidential Transport in Argentina, and 757s form part of the fleet used by the royal family of Saudi Arabia.

 Aviation Resource - 757
The 757 is sold in two versions, the 757-200, and the 757-300.
The 757 models share many features with the twin-aisle 767, which was developed concurrently with the 757-200.
Both 757 models as well as the 767 have a common type-rating, so pilots qualified to fly one of the aircraft also can fly the others with only minimal additional familiarization, saving training time and costs.

 The Pentagon No-757-Crash Booby Trap
In September of 2003, I assisted Jeff Strahl in developing a slide presentation which concluded that "whatever struck the Pentagon was not a Boeing 757." This talk, which borrowed from the work of Eric Hufschmid and said anonymous author, further popularized the notion that a 757 was not involved in the attack.
Many other features are often cited as evidence against a 757 crash, such as the positions of downed lamp-posts, the orientation of the damaged generator, and the position and shape of the C-ring punch-out hole.
An alternative explanation for the incorrect impact imprint consistent with the crash of a 757 was proposed by French researcher Eric Bart.

That measurement is for aircraft hangar clearance, not the SIZE of the aircraft.) The 757 is basically a cylinder that is 13 feet across.
The generator was hit by the right wing and engine before the 757 hit the building - the damage is evidenced by other photos of the crash area.

 Problems With the ASCE Report On The Pentagon Cast Further Doubt on 757 Story
This confusion aids many 757 theorists by enabling them to claim, falsely, that the entry hole into the Pentagon was one hundred to one hundred and twenty feet wide.
With these obvious holes in the 757 theory, and the lack of debris, supporters of the 757 story are reduced to reliance on eyewitness testimony.
Unless definitive evidence indicating a 757 is uncovered, the most logical conclusion that can be reached when studying all of the available evidence is that no 757 hit the Pentagon, and a subsequent cover-up was attempted.
