Will always be my All-time Favorite Aircraft, Love the L-1011 TriStar. I personally think Lockheed hit it outta the park when they conceived this beautiful aircraft.
My mom and stepdad met building L1011's at Lockheed's Burbank plant in L.A in the early 80's. I flew on one once, and it was among the quietest, smoothest planes I've ever been on. Pretty cool!
😅 We worked in an ambulance station 1 mile from a major airport. The vortices would run right through our garage. You could hear them coming. Then we would have to dust all the ambulances again.
An un-contained engine failure is when debris is shed radially penetrating the outside of the engine. If the debris goes out the back OR the front of the engine in a failure it is NOT un-contained failure: that is how they are designed and certified.
0:18 747-400 is my fav plane also 747-400F also 2:34 I love the L-1011 TriStar because actually the is a deck below containing a lounge or kitchen for the flight attendants.
1st aircraft I flew in, as a kid, was a pink Tristar belonging to Court Lines. From London Luton, after a storm that blew in some of the windows. We had the last 3 seats in the tail and my Grandmother (who used to make sandwiches in the departures tent when Heathrow first opened to civilian aircraft) said “don’t worry, the tail always survives ! “…a beautiful powerful looking and feeling aircraft…
The airplane that flew me from SEA to Orlando, Fla Dec. 18, 1980 for United States Navy boot camp was a Delta Airlines L1011 Tristar. Very quiet, comfortable roomy airplane to fly across country in. It was my first commercial flight in a non Boeing aircraft & was my last flight as a civilian for many years.
You are Definitely Correct, L-1011 TriStar my favorite aircraft period ! Such a beautiful, technically advanced, wonderful flying aircraft to come out of that era, i wish they were still around.
That's highly unlikely. Trijets however are allowed to perform a takeoff and ferry flight on two engines. The restrictions are very strict (briefing, no payload, minimum mission time and fuel, etc.) This is to allow the aircraft to evacuate an airfield in case of an engine failure, whereas the problem cannot be fixed on site.
That Lockheed L-1011 Tri-Star was so far ahead of its time! So sad it never had a chance to compete and nearly bankrupted the company. Wonderful to see one still flying!
Thats Mojave airport in California where the L-1011 Tristar is doing its final flyby before it goes to the boneyard there. I guess that's what's happening. I Could Be Wrong
no, it was on the runway during the takeoff roll. Watch the rudder deflection to counter asymetric thurst as soon as the engine fails. You don't need that at a powersetting used for taxiing
I love the airbus A380, but in my opinion, the B747 jumbo is the most beautiful plane ever built. I even had the chance to fly from Paris to LAX in first class in an Air France B747 (thanks to a friend who works for AF and got our seats changed from economy to first class) in the upper deck. Wonderful!
Loved to hear an L-1011 climbing overhead; the fan buzz of those RB211s was higher-pitched than the DC-10s CF-6s, or the 747s JT-9Ds; now, they're all so quiet; an MD-80 sounds noisy!
I get the idea of the part of the video where you explain what is happening, but it you could have made that a bit shorter so we could see a bit more of that pass by the Locheed Tri-Star, that would have been awesome.
Because pilots would lose valuable flying skills that would be desperately needed in the event they would need to take over. It's a balancing act, like everything in life. Would you like incompetent pilots trying to land a plane with a malfunctioning auto pilot in an emergency? Auto landing is reserved for those cases where pilots would not be otherwise capable to land the plane due to poor visibility, but can safely take control if it is needed for a go around.
Loved the L1011. Air Canada used to maintain many for foreign airlines at YYZ. Air Lanka, BWIA, and so many Air Canada ones. Flew quite a few times on Eastern and Air Canada L1011's, a classic.
1:21 A few years ago, I witnessed a HH-60M taxi out and lift into a hover in a large droplet rain storm. It was amazing to watch the rain flow thru the main and tail rotors wash. You can see the rain accelerate thru the rotor and bounce off the ground effect, then witness the rain go through the tail rotor balancing the torque of the main rotor. Unfortunately it was to far away for an iPhone camera to record it. Helicopter aerodynamics 101.
This vid headlines read: '747 motor blows up during take off'. @ 00:36" didn't see snything like that. ('Clickbait'??). Nice L1011 images, though. ('Time Machine' from Lockheed..).
Just curious, but are the Blue Angels somehow exempt from FAA regulations regarding operations near building and people? The first part of the clip he seems far enough away laterally, but is definitely not in the second part of the clip, nor is he 1000 feet vertically away from the pier or people.
I was scheduled to deice the dreamlifter in anchorage before it's departure, but the weather cleared and they didn't need. Still got to see it taxi and takeoff, didn't realize there landing was so low viz, very cool.
Didn't hear or see any engine explode. Thank God to make possible instrument landings in bad weather. Lockheed Tri Star- one of the very best airliners-they were so nice.
I would like to suggest some corrections in wording around the first video, the Silk Way West airline takeoff out of Miami (to Frankfurt) on 12/4/2023. - By all appearances in this video and the cited video, this was a *contained* engine failure. An uncontained failure is where the outer protective casing is blasted open and parts go flying out. It is rare and dangerous. Nothing like this appears in either this video or the longer video cited in the comments. No damage to the engine can be seen from the outside; that's the difference between a contained and an uncontained engine failure. - Therefore, the engine did not explode, as the title states. I don't believe it even flamed out. All I saw was excess smoke. - The footage did not come from the cited video, so some citation is missing from the shorts listed in the video information. I may be wrong. I'd welcome any clarifying thoughts or reasonable opposing views or links to industry reports on the incident.
2:34 Love the fact that the L1011 is still flying! It was a very modern plane for that time! 🎉
Had my first ever flight on that beauty ❤ back in 1993
Someone knows the registration number?
is it not a newer design than the 737 and 747?
A TriStar Varig took me from London Gatwick to Sao Paulo Brazil 1992. A very pleasant flight.
Yeah, I flew to Hawaii on a Tristar decades ago. Now it's nearly gone, and so is Lahaina, mostly. Sigh.
Seeing an L1011 flying in 2023 is just magical…
Such a beautiful plane ❤❤❤
Will always be my All-time Favorite Aircraft, Love the L-1011 TriStar. I personally think Lockheed hit it outta the park when they conceived this beautiful aircraft.
What a wonderful aircraft.
That's an early big boy. I always liked the 3 engine design. 727 is my favorite.
This one’s the best because it air launches the Pegasus LV
My mom and stepdad met building L1011's at Lockheed's Burbank plant in L.A in the early 80's. I flew on one once, and it was among the quietest, smoothest planes I've ever been on. Pretty cool!
I love seeing wing vortexes, it looks cool and helps you understand how wings and flaps work. 👍
Definitely. They should install smoke machines at airports to show off wake vortices.
Might be the coolest 3 minutes of aviation video in a long time!
No Ryanair, no Aerosucre...
Meh.
No engine explosion at takeoff.
Landing of those 747 & 777 creating the vortices must be one of the most beautiful aviation videos ever
Much appreciated 🙌🏻🙌🏻
😅 We worked in an ambulance station 1 mile from a major airport. The vortices would run right through our garage. You could hear them coming. Then we would have to dust all the ambulances again.
Absolutely agree
An un-contained engine failure is when debris is shed radially penetrating the outside of the engine. If the debris goes out the back OR the front of the engine in a failure it is NOT un-contained failure: that is how they are designed and certified.
Some classic planes there. The TriStar and of course my favorite... The 747-the Queen of the Skies.❤
Happy to see a L1011 Tristar still In flying condition ❤️👏🏽👏🏽
Wowowow, a 49 years old Tristar still flying! Amazing! 🤩
Used to fly on the L 1011 to Vegas every year out of DTW on American Trans Air. An incredible machine. She’ll be missed. At least by me.
She's definitely a wonderful aircraft. My favorite, for sure.
I did a TWA flight on one of those once, STL/LAX. Incredible plane.
Holy crap that Blue Angel over the pier was nuts!
Ending it with the L-1011, that really made my day. When I was a kid I went to London on TWA in that beauty. Magnificent !
Great childhood memories of flying on those wonderful Eastern Airlines TriStar's. Thank you.
I remember, too. We were very lucky kids.
Except the one that went down in the everglades. 901 I think.
@@shethsa I'm not sure of the flight number, I wasn't on that one.
@@shethsa Yeah except that one. Can't believe a faulty light would cause so much distraction.
Excellent episode! Love the L1011, loved the wing vortexes!
Those jet passes were crazy
0:18 747-400 is my fav plane also 747-400F also 2:34 I love the L-1011 TriStar because actually the is a deck below containing a lounge or kitchen for the flight attendants.

We had the last 3 seats in the tail and my Grandmother (who used to make sandwiches in the departures tent when Heathrow first opened to civilian aircraft) said “don’t worry, the tail always survives ! “…a beautiful powerful looking and feeling aircraft…
The last Tristar landing, the crew looked at each other and said “we’ve got plenty of fuel” let’s do it all again 😍
The L1011 was always my favorite. I was a teen in the early '70s and we lived just a couple of miles from O'Hare airport.
Had my first ever flight on that beauty back in 1993 ❤
My one and only time flying on an L1011 was in July of 1980 on Eastern Airlines...
The airplane that flew me from SEA to Orlando, Fla Dec. 18, 1980 for United States Navy boot camp was a Delta Airlines L1011 Tristar. Very quiet, comfortable roomy airplane to fly across country in. It was my first commercial flight in a non Boeing aircraft & was my last flight as a civilian for many years.
I was a regular on the TWA SEA-JFK run years ago. Just loved those L-1011s. What a comfy airplane, even back in economy!
My 1st flight on an L1011 was in 1974 on my way to boot camp in Orlando. I think it was Delta. Nice ride!
Heh "49 years old"....LOL.....KC-135 says "hold my beer"
Excellent UA-cam channel.
Congratulations.👍.
A whole extra 5 seconds of aviation today! Heck yeah!
6 seconds! 😂
Why is it blurred? By the time it shows the clear picture, there's nothing much to see!!
That B747 green wake turbulence would make a perfect background image
Those vortices are just a thing of beauty, nature revealing itself, right out of Physics Illustrated.
So happy I got to fly on an L10. IMHO, the most beautiful of the tri-jets.
You are Definitely Correct, L-1011 TriStar my favorite aircraft period ! Such a beautiful, technically advanced, wonderful flying aircraft to come out of that era, i wish they were still around.
love the tristar. i've often wondered if it could take off with just the rear engine ?
That's highly unlikely. Trijets however are allowed to perform a takeoff and ferry flight on two engines. The restrictions are very strict (briefing, no payload, minimum mission time and fuel, etc.)
This is to allow the aircraft to evacuate an airfield in case of an engine failure, whereas the problem cannot be fixed on site.
not a chance. Why would you think for a second that a half a million pound airplane could get off the ground with 33% of rated thrust?
🇬🇧 Many thanks for your great videos this year; Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄
That Lockheed L-1011 Tri-Star was so far ahead of its time! So sad it never had a chance to compete and nearly bankrupted the company. Wonderful to see one still flying!
So great to see that Tristar still flying!
The L-1011 was one slick bird. 😍 One of my favorites.
The L1011 with DLC makes for those perfect landings. Sweet.
Those were some of your Best clips - well done!
That Lockheed TriStar is a beautiful aircraft ***
Thats Mojave airport in California where the L-1011 Tristar is doing its final flyby before it goes to the boneyard there. I guess that's what's happening. I Could Be Wrong
Sad news. Didn't know about that
At least it was captured on camera but yeah, that was a so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-Jet-A farewell.
Sad to see the very last TriStar say goodbye ❤
That F/A-18 Blue Angel jet maneuver was incredible to see!
I would've loved to be on that Dock, that was Amazing.
Fantastic video!!!🎉❤❤❤
Been on many of Air Canada's L1011 beautiful air craft
I once had the privilege of going on the elevator to the galley on one of Air Canadas L-1011.
All your vids are awesome but this one is extra special 💙
Surely the 747 was still on a taxiway, and not on takeoff?
no, it was on the runway during the takeoff roll. Watch the rudder deflection to counter asymetric thurst as soon as the engine fails. You don't need that at a powersetting used for taxiing
Always loved the L1011s and DC-10s! Beautiful aircraft!
Holy crap ! Outdid yourself with this one Tres Minutos de Aviacion !
as always, lotsa AWESOMENESS…thanks to 3 M o A!!!😬
Wow that's insane hope Everyone got safe 😮
those landings at Amsterdam were simply beautiful. Stunning!
I absolutely love your videos please keep it up ok
The F18's secret fly pass was insane!
Ah, that L1011, what a beauty.
1:04 was amazing
Great video!😸
My grandpa was a major part of designing the L-1011. He still has some schematics!
Love a TriStar!
I love the airbus A380, but in my opinion, the B747 jumbo is the most beautiful plane ever built. I even had the chance to fly from Paris to LAX in first class in an Air France B747 (thanks to a friend who works for AF and got our seats changed from economy to first class) in the upper deck. Wonderful!

That 747 autopilot landing was BUTTER
I had the pleasure of landing in the cockpit of a Cathey Pacific TriStar 40 yrs ago at Bangkok airport
I get the idea of the part of the video where you explain what is happening, but it you could have made that a bit shorter so we could see a bit more of that pass by the Locheed Tri-Star, that would have been awesome.
Question: why not all landings perform in automatic mode?
The technology has been available for a long time, as in decades.
But, the pilot's unions have blocked its widespread adoption: "job security".
Because pilots would lose valuable flying skills that would be desperately needed in the event they would need to take over. It's a balancing act, like everything in life. Would you like incompetent pilots trying to land a plane with a malfunctioning auto pilot in an emergency?
Auto landing is reserved for those cases where pilots would not be otherwise capable to land the plane due to poor visibility, but can safely take control if it is needed for a go around.
Pilots need to have X numbers of takeoffs and landings to keep their licenses. And they like to do it, since it is fun.
Not every aerodrome or aircraft meet the technical requirements for that kind of landing
Even when the technical requirements are met, autolandings have a negative impact on a runway's capacity
“I’m out, Peace.” - The yellow thing when the Fighter Jet flies past.😂
More L-1011 Videos please...what a beautiful wide-body! Prettiest built to date!!!!
You own us 1 sec of avation!
*The Tristar was a legend in its day. Like many good stories, it has come to an end.*
Loved the L1011. Air Canada used to maintain many for foreign airlines at YYZ. Air Lanka, BWIA, and so many Air Canada ones. Flew quite a few times on Eastern and Air Canada L1011's, a classic.
Loved the vid! Sure wish I was on that pier when the USN-BA blew by it. Wow!

2:32 I shed a tear.
Loved the Tri-Star at the end.
We need 3 minutes of Tristar!!
Fantastic, beautiful thank you.

-Princess Leia to passengers unboarding from any Boeing aircraft ever.

Nice video!
00:50 - How do I get a pass to be on that pier when this show happens?
It’s a public pier on the Gulf Coast around the Pensacola, FL area that anyone can go onto
@@jamessimms415 Oh? Thank you, thank you, thank you, 😀
My first L-1011 was in 1974, TWA SFO-JFK. And then a few more on Delta, New York to Florida. Such a great aircraft.
Tri-Star, very lovely
Damn I loved the tri-jets!

The most incredible part was that at 1:53 : "woooooo!... wausa sawasa... eng..."
@0:50 Pretty amazing view. 👍
Wow A Lockheed L1011 still in the air is absolutely incredible!
That was worth it to see the Lockheed TriStar. I flew a lot in the late 1980's and early 90's, and those were fantastic planes to be a passenger on.
Love seeing that L1011 flying by… but! The fact that it was in Phoenix could also mean she was heading to a scrapyard nearby? Nooo….
I was scheduled to deice the dreamlifter in anchorage before it's departure, but the weather cleared and they didn't need. Still got to see it taxi and takeoff, didn't realize there landing was so low viz, very cool.
Love watching the Queen of the Skies.
Did you miss posting credit for the L-1011 (last sequence)?
Flew L1011s to Anchorage a few times. Lovely.
Those heavys at AMS 🔥🔥
Didn't hear or see any engine explode. Thank God to make possible instrument landings in bad weather. Lockheed Tri Star- one of the very best airliners-they were so nice.

Silk Way West the best Elite Cargo Airline in the World. 🇦🇿
When I hear 'elite' I feel like being taken for a fool.
I would like to suggest some corrections in wording around the first video, the Silk Way West airline takeoff out of Miami (to Frankfurt) on 12/4/2023.

I may be wrong. I'd welcome any clarifying thoughts or reasonable opposing views or links to industry reports on the incident.
BTW: the wingtip vortices cease to exist at touchdown. (Conversely, they begin at lift-off as the wing generates lift.)
Dreamliner lands itself better than the pilots.
I flew L-1011s on TWA and Eastern so many times as a kid, and on ATA on a trip to Hawaii. It still looks so elegant, especially compared to the DC-10.
I love 747s
