A couple of Texas teams will be flying in style. The Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars new 757 charter aircraft was unveiled on Tuesday at Love Field.

The new aircraft replaces the old 727 the Rangers flew in the past.

The Rangers will continue to share it with the Dallas Stars hockey team. They flew approximately 60,000 miles this season, the majority of those coming after night games.

The new aircraft provided by owner Tom Hicks should ease the burden created by those overnight flights.

The Boeing 757 has a completely reconfigured interior that can accommodate 71 total passengers in their own leather seats.
