Decommission of L-1011 was a crime😥I'm engineer of these beautifull plane. My opinnion Tristar was the most advanced plane ever build. Many thanks to the famos video. BRGD:
@@martinschwingenheuer1901 Wow Sir!! My hats off to you. Can you tell us more about the MDLC on the L-1011? Ive always been fascinated with the Direct Lift Concept and how it contributed to smooth Descent rates on final. Also do you think some rich person could buy one now and fly it?
Hopefully at least one of these gets preserved in good condition. I saw one in Ottawa from across the field a few years ago with the wings cut off from the landing gear outwards and no engines parked near the fire station. A couple years later I went through and it was gone. Only one I ever saw.
We look at all the FMS, EFIS & Displays of today....but the L-1011 had the earliest or first commercially flying FMS and a true Horizontal Situation indicator display wayyyy before (TWA & Saudia had it). I flew jump seat on those birds a few times.
Delta used these from LAX to Honolulu in their final days. Was lucky enough to do that loop a few times but they sure were raggedy by then, patches all over the wings etc....Still my fav wide body
N910TE is clearly in good enough condition to run its engines, but how come they haven’t flown her in quite some time and kept her airworthiness certificate?
@@fredricgreenblott4169 It's really expensive, and parts are very hard to get. Though, that might be less of an issue now that the Tristars in the UK have been broken up and parted out.

I love hearing pilot stories and their history of flying on various equipment!!

Do you mean you used to be a flight engineer on the plane or were you a member of the original engineers of the aircraft

Beautiful aircraft, great to seee Enthusiasts preserving the bird.
Love the rumble of the RB-211s.
i can't believe that L-1011 still flying today!
That one isn't.
Only on left operational.
Stargazer operated in the US by Northrop Grumman to launch satellites.

I wish it could be flown to Atlanta Georgia. A lot of people at Delta would love to see it.

Absolutely beautiful! I just love 💕 these great machines!
That's one LOOOOOONG engine spool up....

Dude, that Steve story is hilarious!
For a moment I thought it was Joe Walsh in the pilot's seat!
She flew on 12/28/22 from Graham, TX to Grand Prairie, TX.
I wonder if that’s going to be its final flight
Is it airworthy?
It's out of annual.

There’s another TH-cam video of it taking off in 2017
@@AMF96 I know. That’s what I mean. The last time she flew was in 2017 for her ferry flight from TUS-MCI.
