26 years flying the TriStar. Greatest jet airliner ever built. Lots of Boeing stuff in the cockpit but at least they didn’t just leave holes in the panels. ADI looks real with the speed donut. I flew the one sitting in Nong Khai for Las Vegas Sands Corp. for several years. I’m living just east of Rayong now. I’ll go see this one as soon as I can. Great memories, thanks for posting.
I was an FE on the tristar. When.i saw that panel I was thinking man did I miss some weird form of differences training? lol It's definately has some odd components to it. You're right though. It's good they filled up the holes. It's still such a beautiful aircraft and still my favorite.
I worked on many of these L -1011S for Eastern Airlines at JFK and Laguardia 1980-1990 and its a little sad to see the demise of these once great airplanes now used for restaurants, sea reefs,homes ,etc. but thats life nothing lasts for ever as its wrttten. On a positive note its nice to see it used for something positve instead of a scrapyard as an alternative ...Glenn a retired Eastern Airlines A&P Mechanic..
@@ReShawna2k20he DC-10 is a much better aircraft. L-1011 couldn't compete against the DC-10: range, performance and flexibility. Too complex and without the range/payload
I'm was a flight engineer in the mid 90's on the Tristar. Wow that's a wacky cockpit. It's good they filled in the holes with something rather than leaving it bare even though it's components of other aircraft models. It's still such a beautiful bird.
It is always weird to see an airplane you use to actually fly / work on be transformed into a Coffee Bar in Pattaya Thailand! This is Eastern L1011 / N327.
I worked for Eastern as a F/A from 1976 to 1989 the L-1011 was my# 1 choice spent many hours aloft and even lived on one when we were snowed in at JFK for 3 days I was based in SJU/MIA .
Mabe you worked on it: History: delivered 1973 to Eastern (N327EA), last operator Angel Air, damaged by rebels at Bangkok airport 2004 - More info here: www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-l10-1055.htm
🤣🤣Thank you for that laugh. As a former B747 Flight Engineer, I felt right at home looking at these gauges. There are gauges from the 747 Flight Engineer's panel on the center console, on the overhead panel, on the Pilot and FO's front panels and of course on the FE panel. But i will give them credit for filling in the holes with actual aircraft parts rather than just plugging them up.
yeah man I was an L-1011 flight engineer and I was confused when I saw the panels. I thought I might be having temporary demensia or something. lol Then I saw the comment section and realized I wasn't losing my mind. You're right that it's good they filled up the holes though. best regards
So impressive! Alot of very happy memories travelling on these beautiful airplanes! I believe that the riggers who transported these aircraft had to get instructions from the original manufacturer such as Lockheed to carefully disassemble transport and reassemble the aircraft at the final destination usually by large flat bed railroad cars and flatbed trucks. These planes are kept in there original condition and are converted into the most beautiful center pieces and used for buildings and are preserved. They are certainly pieces of artwork!
Great Video, but those cockpit instrument panels are suspicious to say the least! Some are certainly not from an L011 anyway! On the Flight Engineers panel I saw anti-skid controls and other lights for Body Gear (747). The overhead panel had engine ignition switches for just two engines! The L1011 has three! :)
Kind of a mystery on why they painted the plane in ANA color scheme but this plane never flew with ANA. I know ANA did fly the Tri-stars but this one especially on 19:21 you can see the registration VR-HOK. This plane started with Eastern Airlines as N327EA then went to Cathay Pacific as VR-HOK. Last airline to have her was Angel Air as XU-700.
Thanks for the detailed tour. We had dinner in the other L1011 Tristar Restaurant in Bangkok. Such a monster lit up at night in bare weathered aluminium. Food wasn't very good at all, especially considering it was over 6,000 Thb for two...
At least it has not been turned into beer cans……I would hate to see the chop job behind the instrument panels. I wonder if they are using the lower galley as storage or is it just for show. All of the Concords have been fully preserved equipment wise and could be restored to flight status with some work. There is a reason why their cockpits are blocked off with plexiglass screens. Most of the flight controls up front have unobtainiam status and must be preserved with the rest of the airframe.
Just a little imagination goes a long ways. Most people just don't have an imagination. Those planes were pretty sofisticated for their era. You could set up an ILS approach after takeoff and it would fly by itself to and within 200 feet of an ILS runway. That's a given today but not in those days. It just made safe landings in bad weather a lot safer. MLS was good to but for whatever reason the airline industry chose not to invest in it. There was only one time when it didn't work out and that was when Delta Flight 191 crashed short of the runway at DFW in a storm but that was a weather phenomenon called a microburst that pushed the plane down to the ground.

It's nice to see an L1011 in full form. That's becoming more and more rare.
great video, incredible condition

Maybe they had to use other instruments to fill empty spaces
yes they apparently were just filling up the holes for aesthetic purposes.@@BGTech1

It’s sad to see such amazing aircraft just rotting in a field.

Please do not scrap that Tristar
Flight deck panels are bullshit, they mounted whatever they've found on that graveyard :D Still, nice display.
カラーを見ると、これはオールニッポンエアウェイズのトライスターであることがわかります。
Nice! History.
We can bring back the Tri L1011 in new form
Why does the video start inside of a non-L1011 Boeing plane?
I think the cockpit instruments are hilarious. I could use most of them on my 747.😂
At least it has not been turned into beer cans……I would hate to see the chop job behind the instrument panels. I wonder if they are using the lower galley as storage or is it just for show.

Is this anywhere near Sattahip? I used to dive out of Samesan harbor, and the landscape looks very familiar
Yes, it is. From Sattahip is about 6 to 8 kilometers.
Do you know if there are any piston fighters from world War 2 in this airplane graveyard or any other place in in the country someplace ?

So cool.
I flew in one of those planes back from Europe in 1983. It makes me sick to see them junked like that. Just makes me sick.
How did they get these planes here? Were they all cut up and towed in?
no chris, they magically fell out of the fcking sky and landed perfectly as coffee shops! twit!
Yep seen this plus had a 737 and A300 on site
What is the reg of this aircraft

Oh ok thx
I think everyone here would play around with the buttons in the cockpit like an autist, too xD
Such a small and narrow fuselage indeed
WHY IN THE WORLD did the coffee lady under the wing have a piece of black cloth over her mouth?!??!?!
WHy are those orientals wearing tissue paper on their faces?!??!
