@abbie.cheeseman: I wish I’d had a chance to fly on a Lockheed Tristar 😞 Here’s a little bit about the scandals surrounding this plane & why it wasn’t more successful #aviation #aviationlovers #avgeek #aviationhistory #ushistory #TikTokLearningCampaign #historytok #lockheed
Lockheed NEEDS to make another commercial jet, they just need to... take their time, this time

Flew Delta and Eastern out of Atlanta in the late 70’s and got to fly the L1011 many a time. When you took a red eye back from LA you could usually get an entire row of middle seats and get a great night’s sleep. So much better than the horrible DC8 or 727.

YEP. IT WAS THE PRIDE OF OUR FLEET. PILOTS LOVED IT, AND PASSENGERS RAVED ABOUT IT. THE L1011,WAS ONE OF THE BEST AIRCRAFT EVER BUILT.
THE DC-10, NOT SO MUCH.

I flew it as a kid in the final days of ATA still being in business. Flew to Hawaii on it and even though it was pretty old for the time, it was a pretty cool experience

Flew on one once in the waning days of Eastern. Had been a beautiful plane once, but it looked dingy and smelled of cigarettes and spilled drinks. The plane was not crowded. The stewardess seemed tired, but she was very nice and we chatted for quite a while.

Orbital ATK (now a part of Northrop Grumman) also used a Tristar to launch their Pegasus rockets!

I flew on an AA L1011 out of Los Angeles in the early 80's. The smoothest and quietest plane I've ever flown on.

I flew one once on Delta from DFW to Orlando in 1997. I was way in the back and it was curved enough that the seats didn’t line up between rows. Even then, the plane seemed super old!

I flew on one to Hawaii as a kid. It handled 2.5 hours of severe turbulence like a champ.

One of the best plane ever made. Flew on it many times as a kid. Got to fuel one when I was a fueler and it was very crazy to fuel. So many tanks and specific ways that each tank needed to be be fueled. I miss the L1011. 😢
