Tristars has most beautiful and roomiest cockpit back in the days, even better than DC-10 and 747 classic , noticed the FO smoking in the cockpit, nice...! what a lovely old day... this is true freedom!!!!!

I flew this amazing and beautiful aircraft to GIG with TAP Air Portugal some good years ago...she was the flagship carrier of our national airline...good times...so long CS-TEA L-1011 TriStar 500
Amazing! I wonder why the Flight Engineer is not wareing the 2-stripe epaulettes. I know why. Its just that I like the old-classic 4, 3, 2 stripe-flight--crew-epaulette-style. Those cockpit windows are huge! How come Boeing's is not that big? lol!
These guys are true professionals. One could effectively argue that gloves are a great idea as hands are prone to sweat and exude oils that could potentially foul a sensitive electronic switch.
All Videoes from the cockpit, that is filmed in japan or whit japanese pilots have White-Glows? how come. Are they scare of getting any kind of sickness from the Aeroplanes panels or something. Or is it just a cool thing to have! they get more chickes or something!
Weird. As an ex-Tristar FE, we used to be facing forward for all critical stages of flight and would be setting take-off thrust, setting climb power and so on. This is a peculiarly Asian method of operation.
