The L1011 so.majestic and yet a beast. The start up of those 3 engines still give me chills! Flew with that aircraft from 1987 to 2000 from Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles to Honolulu and kahalui Maui. Never been replaced and we miss ya!!
Great to see this. When I used to travel long-haul I would always pick a flight that put me on a L-1011 over any other wide body. So comfortable and so advanced for their time.
Lived in LA and would take a dead-head Delta L-1011 to San Diego late at night - 15 minute flight, all for $19 one way (which I could barely afford) just to fly on a plane my Dad was part of the original Lockheed team who designed, tested, built this beauty. He was an instrumentation engineer typically flying test flight in and out of Palmdale. It was his favorite time at Lockheed and he was proud of the work and L-1011.
That is an awesome comment Jackieonthetrunk....I bet he was one skilled individual! very nice comment thank you tv.
I watched a 1011 start up at my Airport's observaton deck. I could see vortices forming,and dancing around inside Engine #2's intake. So cool to watch
I remember back in the 80s at LAX watching one of those put right up to the window at the gate, was awesome. Beautiful airplane.
The good old days of L1011 quality and quantity. Now we're stuck in those uncomfortably tight narrow bodies (737, a320) ...flying nowadays is nothing near what it used to be!
Ist cheap, thats what the customer want. :( :(
I miss the l1011 tristar the sound the comfortable ride the service in first class wonderful experience
I miss the l1011 the only plane that could land by itself smooth comfortable ride first class was awesome from SFO to Atlanta
deltas best liivery
No doubt
The L-1011 was an absolutely handsome aircraft. Much better looking than the goofy DC-10.
Delta was smart to make this their default long haul jet.
I agree......I loved seeing the L10 in Pan Am colors at SFO,,,,,,and Delta, and TWA, ATA, United
i sure do miss this sight at SFO!!!!!!
No doubt, I spent my entire childhood in the '60s and early '70s at this very spot, it was incredible.
My fave and the best airplane I have ever flown
i used to fly these all the time from ATL-BOS and back in the 90s....some of them didn't even have overhead compartments over the center section....just the coffered ceiling.......those were the golden days of flying
I flew these between ATL-MCO several times in the early 90’s. Sometimes the flights were only half full and you’d have an entire center row to yourself.
I miss those big boys...
The livery is classic. Delta should have a retro livery on each series of aircraft in the fleet.
In those days, they had locked their brains. They paid no heed to lockheed. God knows what they found great in those DC-10s. The tristars were far-better.
The L-1011, while technologically advanced, was a failure. Over-engineered, maintenance hogs which earned the name “Tritanic.”
Delta's L-1011 always made me think of an Orca.
What replaced the L-1011 for Delta was the Boeing 767-300ER, and 767-400ER.
I have 4 l1011 tristar jets collectables models from delta air lines
I bought my first L1011 in 1997.
Very nice, I have a Delta Tristar in 1 72 model in both 100 series and shorter 500 series .
Great, advanced trijet and first wide bodied auto land capable airliner.
Recently acquired a 60 inch Tristar cutaway model airplane.
Tristars were excellent.
Thanks MIkeR - I wish that parking lot was still open!
Thanks again, Tom!!
I went to visit old friends and can't believe they closed this area down..
Delta should have never dropped the widget livery. One of the best airline liveries ever!
Oh right at the end, I miss the old USAir livery
I miss this spotting location...back when youd get a different airline and aircraft every departure
JUst airbus and boeing nowdays right?.. a few pissey turbo props thats it.. Nothing like it used to be..
Pretty much, as for heavies on this runway, nowadays you get the rare 747 or 777 from Klm or united, but the main one you'll get is delta 767
@@jovialpie584 agreed, planespotting like most everything else was better back then
@@jovialpie584 back then every afternoon around 5pm you'd get the extremely rare 747 departure from runway 1L as well
Originally delivered to Eastern airlines in May, 1977
I loved Easterns livery.
@@ikaikamaleko8370 Me too, my Favorite, nothing beats a L-1011 in Eastern Airlines colors.
Missed The L1011
The bean counters in accounting said the third power plant had to go
Now Just look at that N789DL-DELTA L-1011 Damm!,0:48
Dallas bound?
i always found this design to be flawed.. if that tail engine blows up..... ur tail is gone... hopefully its engineered not to blow the tail off.. but you cant taill me its not popssible for the engine to blow the tail off.... you just cant tell me that. even if its never happened.. its possible... much harder to blow a wing off than a tail section... flawed design thats why u dont see to many of them
Ok than what about the 727 with the center engine there was about a thousand made and a few are still flying
