Are There Any Lockheed L-1011s Still Flying? 

Best airplane I’ve ever flown on. Quiet, spacious, comfortable.

Cathay Pacific’s L-1011 were considered ahead of every other regional carrier at the time! She’s a beauty!

The L 1011 was my favorite aircraft to fly. It's cabin was spacious, and it was also one of the few planes at the time that could land in bad conditions when other aircraft were unable to do so. I flew one into PBI during Hurricane Gordon and it was the only aircraft type that the tower let land

The best aircraft I’ve ever flown in my 33 year airline career. You did it right, Lockheed! Unlatched Forever!

I flew the Tristar for 9 years from 1974 for BA. it was the best airliner I flew in 30 years. It was the Queen of the skies.

The L-1011 featured five lavatories in the back of the main cabin right next to each other, so there usually was one always available for use when you had to go.

The TriStar was the most comfortable flying I ever enjoyed. Even coach was great. Sure do miss that kind of service and luxury.

I’ve flown on all three wide bodies types back in those days. The L-1011 was my favorite.

I’ve flown on the L1011 lots of times. Even transatlantic flights. Has that distinctive sound for the engines.

This plane is based out of the Mojave air & space port. It goes to and from there all the time. It is not stored.

Loved flying on L1011's back in the '80's so much nicer than the DC-10 very spacious and plenty of bathrooms!

I refueled many of them. I miss the very distinctive sound of the turbines starting. No other aircraft howls quite like the TriStar. Everyone in and around the airport knows when one starts, it’s a beautiful sound.

My Dad was on the drafting team at Rolls Royce for the engines in the Tristar. He always considered this plane one of his babies, hahah. He passed away in 2008.

I flew on Delta TriStars between ATL and MCO, ATL and BOS, and ATL and LAX. I loved those planes.

Great airplane! I've flown on L-1011's many times on Air Canada, Delta and Eastern, and once on TWA from Tel Aviv to New York, making one stop at Paris.

Comfortable, spacious even in coach. So quiet and stable that I called it the flying auditorium.

I've flown the L1011 Tristar with Gulf Air, Golden Falcon livery, in the 80's. Still one of my fav airplanes to fly.

Loved the many flights I had on the L-1011 - roomy and comfortable.

Great aircraft. First widebody I was ever on with TWA. I also flew them with Delta and Eastern.

I loved flying on the L1011. Much more comfortable & quieter than the DC-10. The autoland system of the L1011 was phenomenal, and the same concept was later used on (among others) the F-117.

Actually just saw and serviced the Stargazer L-1011 with Northrop Grumman not too long ago when it landed in PHX. If I remember correctly that would've been the or one of the last flights.

i flew in the triStar back in the 90's the comfort , space was simply amazing when compared with today's wide body aircrafts for the exception of the A380

Not just flown in it, but flown it. Lovely.

I flew from Manchester to Vancouver on one when it was operated by Air Canada back in the 90's. It was great and I remember thinking how big it was. Happy memories.

Flew in RAF Tristars from RAF Brize Norton, via Wideawake (Ascension Island) to Mount Pleasant Airport (East Falkland) and return for each of my (three) tours of duty in the South Atlantic...

I flew in one once. Much nicer than the DC-10 was. Pilots loved them...

Loved working on it

I flew on it, and worked on it in the 80s and loved it I miss hearing those RB11 RR engines start up still to this day one the best belt flying machines.

I flew them numerous times with Delta out of Atlanta and Dallas in the 1990's. One of my favorite planes. Very nice! Miss these planes!

I loved this airplane, one of the best ever made, far superior to the DC10

Fond memories of Air Canada ship 508 (shown in this video) and her classic Rolls-Royce RB211 engines!

The L-1011's were my favorite aircraft. They were comfortable and grateful

Favorite plane

Flew Delta L1011 multiple times for work back in the year 2000. I loved it. You can hear the tristar engine up top spinning up and the cabin was so spacious with the economy edge seats only having 2 seats (like the 767!) which I also loved. My favorite jet!

Mery Christmas everyone!

Loved flying on the L-1011!

I loved the Tri-Star. I flew them multiple times with Delta between MCO & LAX and ATL & LAX throughout the 1980’s and 90’s. I loved the sound of those RB-211s on takeoff roll.

Loved them! Flew them in DL and EA Liveries! Awesome jets! Some of the most advanced GSR for it's time!

These were *wonderful* to fly on. One of my favorite all-time aircraft. They were great on takeoff and landings, very quiet inside, and so spacious that when I'd take the red-eye, the stewardess would often allow me to sleep in the middle row of seats when the plane wasn't crowded.

Fantastic video! This was my favorite plane growing up. Just loved the name L-1011. Sounds so hi-tech and cool. I absolutely love the A380, but this still may be my favorite jet of all time. Best looking, no doubt.

I flew from Oslo, Norway, to New York in 1990. TWA

I loved flying on the L-1011 out of Atlanta, Ga. Great aircraft.

I flew on Dragonair L1011 from Kai Tak to Hong Qiao and return. I forgot the exact year but it could have been 1994. Was lucky enough to be seated at the rear. OMG the engine noise from the aft was god sent!

Merry Christmas

Greatest Airliner of all time. Hands down. Bar none.

I loved every flight I took on L1011’s. So quiet and comfortable, especially in rough weather. Transcontinental flights seemed even relaxing. I miss it.

Flew on N741DA back in June 1995 from LAX to Honolulu. Absolutely loved the flight!

Great Aircraft, I have towed most of the Gulf Air owned ones when I worked for the Emir's flight in Doha and travelled on them extensively when working for Gulf Helicopters, some very pleasant interesting experiances.

I loved flying the L-1011 too. I flew on TWA and later Delta.

I sure did, only Delta L-1011s in the 70,s Lovely experience, these jets were called "Whisper liners."

The first widebody I ever flew, several times on Delta from Phoenix to San Diego. My favourite aircraft for many years.

I always enjoyed these planes - whether on the short London-Paris route or for transatlantic London to Canada routes. One thing that used to get passengers animated was when the cabin air system was spooled up. It created lots of mist that was easily mistaken for smoke!

I loved that plane! I think I flew on that Air Canada unit from Toronto to Atlanta about 1980

I did overhaul on L1011's for Delta Air Lines. I really enjoyed working on these aircraft.

Flew on them many times with DAL, the roar/howl of the Royals Royce engines are so amazing.

Loved flying on the Tri-Star.

Loved this aircraft and in the late 1990's flew one to Hawaii - lots of room and great bathroom availability.

The registration of _N140SC_ is good until 04/30/2028. That doesn't mean it will fly again, but only that Orbital Sciences didn't de-register it.

I flew on the Delta Tristars cross country. Quiet, comfortable plane. Had several lavs in the very rear, side-by-side.

Beautiful airframe!!! Never been on one, but it sure looks good!!!

Flew BWIA L10’s back in the day

Flew on L-1011 in 2000 on Air Transat from Toronto to Cuba.

I flew on the L-1011 with TWA, Delta and Eastern Airlines. Loved the Tristar.

Loved flying the L-1011.

I flew on many L-1011s over the years and enjoyed the smooth ride.

Very comfortable aircraft. I flew regularly Belfast to London Heathrow during the period of the ‘Troubles’ (1970’s). With BA. ❤

Yes, numerous times...was flt attendant for TWA

The L-1011 is my favorite plane of all time. Quiet, spacious, comfortable, unparalleled smooth ride, and just beautiful inside and out. One of the finest, safest commercial airliners ever built. Wish they were still in service!

I flew Air Canada YVR- HNL return around 1983. Nice flights.

Flew on that exact aircraft in 1976. wonderful flight, great aircraft.

I'm 63 years old and i only had the opportunity to fly on the L1011 once! That was from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles nonstop. This was way back in 1985 with Delta Airlines, and i was seated in the rear of the plene in the then, "smoking section" and all i can remember is difficultly breathing from the dense cigarette smoke and the incredibly loud engine noise from being near the mid engine on top of the plane! Probably one of the most uncomfortable long flights in my lifetime ever HAHAHAHA 😆 however with that said, I've always loved the design and look of the Tri-Star L1011 and i wish more of them were still in the sky!

Tristar Still Better than the DC-10 No Doubt

Loved loved loved flying on it back in the 80's. I traveled for work and I still miss it. The DC-10 was ok but didn't compare.

Having flown over 3 million miles the L1011 is hands down my favorite followed by the Concorde.

It was the most comfortable plane I ever flew on. So much room and BIG comfortable seats. Wonderful plane.

Many years ago, I believe I flew in the L-1011 out of Atlanta on Delta and Eastern flights

Loved flying the Tristar back in the early 1980’s with British Airways. Nothing comes close these days to these beautiful machines

I flew Eastern Airlines Tristar from JFK. to Miami and from Orlando to JFK. in October 1979.Fabulous airplane.

I flew on Delta TriStars often on "bus route" business flights.

Wonderful plane so smooth and comfortable!

The tristar was well ahead of it's time. Current widebody twinjets don't match the internal width

Simple Answer: Yes, There is one L-1011 Tristar still flying, named Stargazer by Orbital Sciences.

Loved that plane

I've flew on one from LAX to Hawaii back in 1994 it was Delta airline L1011.

My very 1st on this aircraft. Sydney to Melbourne, then Launceston Tasmania. Lovely aircraft.

Happy Xmas.

One of my favorite aircraft to fly in. Simple great with leg room.

Beautiful aircraft to fly on.

I remember those. They were very cool-looking planes.

Very cool looking aircraft

If I remember right, I flew on Air-Canada and Air-Transat... I love this plane!!!

I flew on L-1011 aircraft multiple times in the '70's and '80's, mostly in TWA. They were very nice.

L-1011 was the first plane I experienced. It was in 1974 flying from Boston to Orlando, FL and back.

Flew on the L1011 from Bradley (BDL) to Bermuda (BDA) on Delta in 1979, smoothest flight I was ever on.

Loved the Eastern TriStar!!!

My Dad helped build it! Price/cost analyst in Burbank. Cool plane!

Need to be preserved

Many great flights on aircraft of this type.

Still my favorite aircraft, I even got to ride the elevator up from the galley once.

Delta used to fly these non-stop from Cincinnati to London’s Gatwick leaving around 8:30 PM. I took it twice in coach and had plenty of room to recline and sleep to be ready to go at 6:00 AM London time upon arrival. Quiet and smooth.
