The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, commonly referred to as the L-1011 (pronounced "L-ten-eleven") or TriStar, is a medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner. It was the third widebody airliner to enter commercial operations, after the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The aircraft has a seating capacity of up to 400 passengers and a range of over 4,000 nautical miles (7,410 km). Its trijet configuration places one Rolls-Royce RB211 engine under each wing, with a third, center-mounted RB211 engine with an S-duct air inlet embedded in the tail and the upper fuselage. The aircraft has an autoland capability, an automated descent control system, and available lower deck galley and lounge facilities.
The L-1011 TriStar was produced in two fuselage lengths. The original L-1011-1 first flew in November 1970, and entered service with Eastern Air Lines in 1972. The shortened, long-range L-1011-500 first flew in 1978, and entered service with British Airways a year later. The original length TriStar was also produced as the high gross weight L-1011-100, uprated engine L-1011-200, and further upgraded L-1011-250. Post-production conversions for the L-1011-1 with increased takeoff weights included the L-1011-50 and L-1011-150.

Lockheed company film from 1973 on the new L-1011, this one focusing on the British charter holiday airline, Court Line Aviation. Neat footage of the Palmdale plant, construction, test flying, great early '70s soundtrack, etc. Court Line Aviation was founded in 1957, and ceased operations in 1974.

The Flight to Victorville was the final flight of a Delta L1011. Ship number 728 was retired from passenger service on July 31, 2001. The historic flight to Victorville occurred the next day with especially selected Delta employees accompanying the TriStar to her final resting place in the aircraft boneyard at the California desert airport. This flight marked the end of a great era of L1011 service for Delta Air Lines.

This is a video recording from March 16, 1991 of a flight aboard a Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1011 from St Louis Lambert Field to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (if you look carefully, you should be able to count five different TWA L1011's on the ground while at St Louis). The flight was about two and a half hours long. The video shows just over 27 minutes of highlights from that trip. Seen and heard are the push back, Rolls Royce RB211-22b typical smoky engine start, taxing from gate to runway (notice the Missouri Air National Guard McDonnell F4 Phantoms), takeoff, flying over the Mississippi River with aircraft's shadow, a long shot of Lambert Field from the plane, interior cabin shots, landing (talk about greasing her in!), taxing at Phoenix and finally a shot of the L-1011's cockpi...
Because of a very weak APU, numerous engine starts were attempted and most resulted in "hung" starts, except for this one. After this engine (number 1) was started, they were then able to crossbleed to the other 2 engines which were then able to start normally. This start was almost a hung start as well, creating extra smoke, but then the engine does start to pick up RPM and is able to complete its start cycle. Any L10 lover will enjoy seeing this sight and hearing the sounds once again....Enjoy!!!
At 18:30 local time, that rare and beauty plane takes off at RWY 23L on the way to London Stansted. That was the highlight of the year in my opinion, even now, too.
