    L1011s
    My favorite. Used to travel in those huge tri stars from Atlanta and LAX with continued service to Honolulu and Maui. Majestic birds. Delta retired the last one in summer of 2001
    With over 40 trips in those beautiful.machines I feel fortunate
    The most exciting part. Those powerful Rolls engines starting and the whining grinding noise they made at take off was music to.my ears. Miss them so much.

    Purely majestic, OMG, how I love the L-1011.
    As a kid flying between Trinidad and London to go to school in Oxford, BWIA flew that bird.
    My stepmother was a senior F/A, and I got to sit many times in the cockpit for take off and landings.
    Now that I am a pilot, I wish I could fly it once as a bucket list item, but I do know that's impossible.
    Take to the sky's my dear lady L10 and be as glorious as the days you served the airlines of the world.

    Those are some very healthy RB211 engines to not be putting out hardly any smoke on start up! Love the low rumble they make when fuel is introduced into the engines and at ground idle. Miss working on these things. Worked the Delta L-1011s in the mid-90s before they were retired.

      Would love to hear more info on rb211. I like how advanced the L1011 was. This is a good video. Would the rb211 be considered a low bypass turbo fan or hi bypass? It’s a big cowling on them. It was the previous comment about smoke I was confused about. By my limited understanding it’s typically low bypass engines that creat that. But what do I know. I just enjoy watching planes. Thanks

      @@relton66 They sure as hell ARE RB-211s, they just were upgraded from the -22 series that was on the L-1011-100s to the -524 series on the L-1011 250s, and 500s. (And 747-200/SP/300s) An increase from about 42,000 lbs of thrust each to 50,000 lbs of thrust. Go to 5:25 on the video when they start up Engine 2. (Tail) Characteristic RB-211 whine for initial spool up, and then the trade mark older gen RB-211 ground rumble. no other engine sounds like that. And it would not have been cost effective to re-engine this (and re-engineer, which would be required) to another manufacture of engine. Especially for only 1 aircraft.

    Anytime an L10 takes to the skies these days is an extraordinary historic occasion. Great job being there and capturing history! As you probably already know, this is the last fully airworthy L10 anywhere in the world. This aircraft is the only survivor! One element of this aircraft I remember as a kid, was the earth shaking engine starts. Could never get enough of them. With that said I was wondering if you by chance have the other two engine starts videod from this event. Looks like you edited a beautiful video, and I think it’s great, but if you have all three engine starts in succession, myself and other L10 start addicts would greatly appreciate seeing it. Doesn’t need an edit, just first through third. Thanks in advance if you can accomplish that!!

    Very nice to see the TriStar still flying.
    Such a magnificent and elegant airliner.
    She may be old but she's still technically probably on par with todays airliners.
    Boeing praised the dimmable windows on the Dreamliner as significant....
    The TriStar had this feature already tested and installed some good 30+ years before...
    I dont know if this was installed in airline service but it existed already.
    Lockheed was much ahead of time with the TriStar.
    I wish the last of these beautiful ladies many more flights so that we enthusiasts can cherish more videos with that magnificent sight and sound

    Hi, a really lovely video of the last of a truely great aircraft. I live just down the road from the airfield in the UK where the last six RAF Tristar's flew into a few years back now. There was high hopes they would be bought and ferried back the America but after many years in the open they all got scrapped, leaving this one in your video the only one left. I hope this one flies on for many more years to come.................Now if you could get a flight on it, how awesome would that be! All the best Dave.

    The L-1011 never had a hull loss caused by mechanical problems. All crashes were caused by pilot error, weather or terrorism.

      Nope last flying L-1011 TriStar plane should keep flying until 2030

  •  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sadly this plane is in the process of having its interior removed and converted into a cargo plane. From my understanding the reason there are none of these L1011s flying is because there are no spare parts and the parts that are available are cost prohibitive. Combined with the high cost of maintenance on the L1011s this wont last very long as a cargo operator either... it will be parked or scrapped in the very near future.
    Thankfully the Air Museum in Kansas City and the old Downtown airport has saved one of the last flying L1011 ans plans on preserving it.
