The Queen of the Delta fleet, flew them many times nonrev - my mom worked for Delta. Absolutely the finest passenger airliner ever built. Way ahead of its time.
i worked on the l-1011 back in 70s 80s 90s by god they dont get any better than this airplane she was one of the best yet today its a fucking sad there not flying today
I flew the L1011 500 model as captain between 2000/2003 and it was the best airliner i flew . Just to compare my next airplane was the Airbus A340 /300 wiich had a TO GROSS of 250 ton with 120 ton power.... when the L 1011 had 230 ton but 150 ton power.... a real figther
MY first ever flight in life was on L-1011 Gulf Sir frombombay to Muscat, year 1981...was always better than a 747, 767 or AB 300/310. Mist graceful bird to hit the sky.
Lockheed can easily start making passenger planes in 2024, they will be so powerful 😊 Financial situation from 19xx to 2024 has changed, if they are making fighter jets and they are so good, why not to make passenger jets? 😅 But anyway, amazing video! Good luck in the future!!🎉
@TheFlightTech747 what is your source? It's definitely wrong. I've checked several reliable fleet lists. AC had 12 if the original models plus 6 of the shortened long tange L-1011-500. Total 18.
@@TheFlightTech747 also I operated as cabin crew on the tristar for Kuwait Airways on a 6 month contract out there in 1992 with aircraft on lease and liveried up after the gulf war from British Airways until Kuwait Airways got back to normal. As a footnote I also worked for TBG as you featured but left after two flights as they had serious safety and finance issues

Yeah bro I’m to expecting such a thing from them.. however we’ve got to see it and thanks a lot bro for the support.
The best aircraft ❤❤❤
You show Air Canada as operating 41 L-1011s. That's way too high. They had a total of 18.
No bro I’ve checked and it’s correct only

@@viscount757 well.. I checked via Wikipedia
@TheFlightTech747 Maybe you are referring to all L-1011s operated in Canada. There were 4 operators. Air Canada itself only had 18.
@@viscount757 no bro you try checking out in the air Canada Wikipedia page
What about air-ops a Swedish operator in the 1990s
Well bro I didn’t find any such operator while I researched maybe let me check again
@@TheFlightTech747 I know that they existed because I was a flight attendant for them based at LGW in 1995
