- Film from the archives of Mr. Nick Spark. Rare Lockheed newsreel from 1981, featuring several L-1011s in just two minutes! Also, some late '70s/early '80s SST concept models. Be sure to check my channel for the best in VINTAGE & RARE airliner videos!

I always like how the music is so slurred in these videos. It makes it seem so lost in time.
That effect is known as tape wow and flutter -- where old tape recordings are worn or the playback equipment is not up to par. It's funny how this bad sound has become synonymous with forward looking technology promo videos. I've come to love it to the point where I simulate it on purpose.
Golden era for aviation!
Best analog jet ever. Flew transcon in a mostly empty TWA L1011 in 1986, felt like flying in a gigantic room without the overhead bins. Happy times
I remember TWA fondly. I flew (as a passenger) on their 747s.
A stunning aircraft. Lockheed achieved their goal of making the most sophisticated and technologically advanced passenger aircraft of its time, but sadly it was never a financial nor commercial success. Brutal competition from the DC10 resulted in two very similar aircraft competing for the same segment of the market.
I sure do miss those wonderful birds. :-(
The L1011 TRI STAR WAS A Gem...🤗🤗..A 1 HIT Wonder..
the best widebody trijet ever built.
Always loved the Tristar - thought it one of the most beautiful airliners ever built. I'd not remembered Pan Am operated them at all - until watching this video.
I flew one around Christmas 1983 from Detroit to Minneapolis on Pan Am. I don't have video but, I do have some wingshots.
Congratulations on the video, the L-1011 is a classic
Cool! Flew on one in the summer of 1998, from Atlanta to Madrid, Spain. It was Delta and I remember the screeen showed over 1000kph towards the end of the flight. I was so impressed. It was also the most comfortable long distance flight I've ever experienced because I had the complete middle row for me! I now kind of remember flying on another TriStar a few years earlier, from Pan Am, but I might be confused. Oh well, during that Delta flight I didn't think much about it because I had no idea the TriStar was on its last years of service. By the way, I'm more of a DC-10 guy, but I admit the TriStar was a really cool plane too!
Lockheed was a dreamer company, coming up with ideas that never came about like the ones at the end.
what wonderful times were the best aircraft of the time ❤❤❤😍😍👍👍👍👍
Best airliner ever made. Full stop.
Pan Am L-1011-500!
Ironically, nearly every L-1011 was *retired* by the 21st century.
And I never flew on one. Sigh.
Sadly yes.......revive them all!!
@@nenblom they were truly great airplanes. The hull loss accidents in the US, resulting in fatalities, were due to pilot error (EAL 401) and weather (DAL 191).
Great aircraft. It was way advanced for it's time. Great safety record. Very little accidents vers the MD-10 or MD-11 tri-jets. It was sleek and handsome. I always found the wide body tri-jets to be so handsome. But to their demise due to the 767 when the FFA started to grant twin engine jets for trans Atlantic crossing without the 45 min rule. R.I.P the tri jets. The L10-11 was Lockheeds first and only commercial aircraft. And honestly that's what made it great but also killed it due to it was designed by engineers who mainly designed military aircraft. It was way ahead of its time too ahead.
No, it wasn't Lockheed's first and only commercial aircraft. Lockheed was also the manufacturer of the Constellation and Super Constellation, among the most advanced piston engine aircraft. They were much more of a commercial success than the L-1011.
Great aircraft
I flew the Tristar four times on Air Lanka (now Sri Lanka Airlines) in 1982. Delightful flights.
Best airplane ever!
Great video and thank-you for taking back to before the airlines became "flying cattle cars". But, what the public wants, that it will get. My first commercial flight to Germany was from JFK to FRA on a 1011. My most memorable flight was from BRU to ATL on a 1011. Indeed, it was a wonderful aircraft. I always wish Lockheed could somehow get back into the commercial aircraft business and provide Boeing and Airbus some healthy competition. Thank-you again for the video.
1:00 interior looks excellent
A beauty indeed and very advanced in its days. Sad she didn't sell well, making Lockheed to close the line, and eventually withdraw from the airliner business.
0:36 0:41 0:46 I’ve never really seen this livery before of the Tristar it’s great
0:27 incredible takeoff
Obrigado..lindo video
And the only really operation L-1011 operates as a rocket launcher for the Pegasus rocket. Hardly what Lockhead had in mind for 21st century service I'm sure.
Hello from medellin
Beauty!
Nothing quite like the future in the past followed by a tape wow and flutter fanfare
Boeing: *engineering problems with the 737 max and other planes
Lockheed: ‘my time has come.’
Lockheed should design a middle of the market jet, since Boeing and Airbus are sleeping on it lol
It’s too wobbly sounding . But it’s interesting
Are you sure this is from 1981? I am not sure do to the film scratches
Loved the L-1011! Unfortunately, this video didn’t age well. 😮
What is this? 1:02 Is it a Turducken?
0.15 saudi arabia airlin 💪❣
BUT it did HAVE problems Lockheed...The Engine deal with RR almost didn't happen...And DC-10 was making Headways..😍🤗🤗
And McDonnell Douglas cut design corners in order to enter service ahead of the Tri Star. "Fly before they roll" was the company mantra in the tri jet race.
Lockheed needs to come back into the civil market and design an aircraft that is the same size as the A320neo and 737 max. More so to eclipse the 737 max because that aircraft is a joke designed by a company that focuses these days on money over safety.
LTU is not shown up.. this is no good
They just could not find any LTU TriStar footage for this clip in time.
I believe LTU did not exist at the time this video was originally made
