TriStar - Like It! :)

[eni190]

i miss LTU!!!

[SoloPower777]

Those engines sound incredible. Can't believe Eastern Airlines named their L1011 fleet 'Whisperliner'! I'm not sure i'd call them that!

[partyduderino]

Thank god for keeping data on all my flights I flew on this aircraft from Duesseldorf to Mallorca in 1989. I only flew on thos one once. But most trips in my youth were made on LTU Tristars.

I preffered sitting in front of the engines. All you could hear when taking off was the "growl" from the engines. Oh the memories :-))

[koeppe]

i know it's 'just' a Machine,but damn isn't that a beauty??

[Bullet19881988]

duesseldorf - karakas venezuela

[nlx78]

For a number of years they had three Tri Star aircraft sitting in a field from that airline in Amerillo Texas. They was slowly scraped for it's metal. I remember every time I passed by more and more of the planes parts was missing untill there was no more planes.

[Isdera001]

That growl from 0:24 to 0:29 is what it's all about!! Yeehah

[prrichgaby]

Beautifull aircraft! Sounds angry!

[TheChefKev]

757-200 Condor !! is sexy too!

[ceconk123]

I wouldn't wanna sit at backwards lol.Huge engine working at full throttle above ma head!

[ObergurglOfficial]

ugly plane

[vinnmann33]

bad ass plane, wish she was still around

[johnmunoz18]

this plane looks so boss!

[osnoflaramo]

The most oustanding airplane and its beautiful sounds, Roll Royce engines !!

[MrMusclefish]

LOL

[timelabor]

this air craft is a real Dino but not bad!

[aviator147]

OMG!!!!!!! THATS LIKE AVIATION PORN

[NickScala]

@aviator147 werdddd

[aviator147]

@NickScala :)))))))))))

[scaremenga]

On rotation wouldn't the No. 2 engine (S-duct) experience marginal thrust loss? The planes tilted up at an angle that would cause the fuselage to block incoming air, same thing with DC-10's and 727's too, would they not?

[Mario739er]

Nice... but I thought that my ear drums were getting beaten out.

[sextime730]

love the sound of those turbofans. the sound they make is amazing

[eviiiman]

Boy that plance sounds great...I wish I could still board on L10-11 today for a flight :(

[viceroytennis]

The Tristar contract caused RR to go into liquidation in 71. I think the golden age for RR will come with the A350. The Trent is the development of the RB211. The original RB211 and Trent family sound very similar. But GE and Pratt are not standing still. Competition is healthy providing nobody misbehaves and gives money under the table. The stakes are very high.

[JeromeKnott]

Ach ist das schön. Die alte gute LTU Tristar. Ich bin gerne mit ihr geflogen

[miar2006]

excellent video...........

[TheBrunhilde]

War das ein schönes Flugzeug.....und eine tolle Zeit der LTU-Tri-Star!! Vielen Dank!!;))

[falkowiegandt]

planes are soo orgasmic! just can't get enough. =D

[hensley87]

ugly plane but nice, video

[amatorynumber]

@hensley87

ugly? the tristar is a BEAUTIFUL plane!!!

so aerodinamic that S-shaped engine, don't you think? much better design than the DC-10, of course more difficult to take out and replace, etc.

[hensley87]

I know hehe I am studying for aircraft mechanic hehe but i dont know she is ugly heheh but his engines are powerfull

[CSGETFCE]

Gold Age of Rolls Royce Turbofans...Go RB211 !!

[stevekach]

great plane and great sound. I flew one from Kord to Klas on ATA Charter flight. It was the best. Nothing else like nor will there ever be.

[birddog016]

cool

[hardstylerDE]

i had the pleasure to fly with LTU tristar plane to gran canaria as i was a child, and i still remember it, as a powerfull experience and a smooth push into the seat during takeoff ;-)) for me personal, i would still fly tristar today if thery where still in use, but NEVER step inside a DC10 or MD11!! u should seek for BIMAN airlines here on youtube, the DC10 is still in use TODAY as a PASSENGERplane^^ i wonder if those passengers get money instead of paying, when they buy BIMAN tickets^^

[bsngeneral]

what happined to LTU ?????

[air1luis]

Air Berlin took over LTU

[jef1500]

AWESOME!!!!

[masospaghetti]

Every time i watch an airplane take off I feel a little bit better about the human race in general. ITS SO AWESOME OMGGGG

[air1luis]

Great comment, totally agree with you, thanks a lot for the good mood :)

[ManganeseMan]

L-1011s were beautiful, coolest of airliners....coolest sound too.

[habanero661]

Tri-Star was the queen of the skies, too bad Lockeed stopped manufacturing commercial airliners. Better than Mc Donnel Douglas And Boeing.

[imbluz]

@habanero661

The L-1011 was a luxurious wide body aircraft looking both sleek and very pretty. But in terms of size and bulk, it looks puny compared to the 747.

[odyma43]

@habanero661 Nah, Lockheed is on par with Boeing. They're better than McDonnel Douglas and Airbus, though.

[TkMToM1993]

that was KWL! xD

[naltrexone23X]

charles rane is not insane

[teft]

thank you, I love the sound of a tristar taking off

[pilotnicco]

One day less then a year later, I was born. 9-24-1994.

[Katrin1186]

Mit der tristar sind wir öfters früher in urlaub geflogen,schade dass es sie nicht mehr gibt... War auch damals noch zu klein,um den Unterschied zw einer Tristar und kleineren Maschinen zu verstehen,leider.. :( Aber ich saß immerhin drin ;)

[0UhrSieben]

that video was made 2 month and 1 day after may birthday

wxcuse me for my bad english

I'm from germany

[hananokuni2580]

Those RB211s sound like refrigerator motors.

[SamHarrison93]

haha i was 14 days old

[xXgabber19Xx]

hahahahah and i was 26 days old hahahahah

[onthepc08]

hehe I was one day old when this vid was taken ^^

[ellz965]

why does everyone think they know it all?

[eltfell]

LTU lost one TriStar during maintenance - some mechanic did something wrong and it burned down.

The TriStar was a great aircraft but a great disaster to Lockheed as well, with a loss of 250 million US-$.

[Granitesand]

Man.......talk about bringing back the memories. I remember taking that LTU Tristar from Montego Bay, Jamaica to Dusseldorf, and back to Montego Bay. That was my first LTU experience in the summer of 1993. I think it was late July/early August of that year when I first flew with LTU. Can still remember the sound of the engines during takeoff. :=)

[warminator]

That was the "Tristar 500" that flew to Jamaica and the far east. A shorter version than this one with longer range. LTU had 2 of them. :)

[silverarrow62]

I wish another new version was built.

[tylermannison]

Hey glitchfinder 3 If you think tristars are crap, why are you watching this video?? I doubt that you could out design Lockeed on airliners. Maybe you should check the safety record first BEFORE you make your dumber than a box or rocks comment.

[bigdaddydiesel007]

Tri-Stars rule! My favorite aircraft! I miss them dearly...

[glitchfinder3]

wow the tristar has an outstanding design!!its an airplane with 3 engines 2 on wings and 1 on top!!very creative!!there were/are less tristars flying than 737s and even then there were more tristar crashes than 737 crashes!

[SaGruenwdt]

are you sure you don't mean the DC10? the DC10 was re ally a problem aircraft in the beginning. The Tristar not, it was one of the most advanced ones back then.

[dessymann]

awesome

[wdl1955]

great aircraft; it has unique and beautifull design.

[edetroit]

Love it!

[glitchfinder3]

those tristars are crap!!

[Patrickisreallygreat]

What do you know about airplanes? You probably havent seen a tristar before. Compare a perfect safety record as far as mechanics to the safety record of a dc-10 or any other plane. Also the tristar makes the triple seven look like the flinstone mobile. Great video air1luis

[glitchfinder3]

look if you compare the safety record of the tristar to one of a boeing 737 the boeing is much more safer than the tristar!btw ive seen a tristar!!

[Patrickisreallygreat]

The only major incidents on a L-1011 was Eastern 401 (Pilot error), Delta 191 (Weather) and Saudi 162 (Bad Mantainance). Compare that with a total of 282 accidents on a 737, still a nice plane. BTW, I've seen a L-1011 AND flown on a 737-800. It was delayed 5 hours for mantainance.

[glitchfinder3]

ive been on a L-1011 mate

[cisk007]

Tja, das waren noch Zeiten ... da gab es nicht nur geile Flieger, sondern auch noch gute Fluggesellschaften, die mit dem Fuss auf dem Teppich geblieben waren!

[astronoman11]

damn dat bird is movin son!

LTU FTW!

[flyingcepa75]

lol..Condor 753 in old colours

[joaobrito]

thanks for sharing. the sound and everything around a older airlinder its impressive

[manitogata]

I love the sound of those engines and the takeoff!!

[manitogata]

Dont see many L1011 Tristar these days

[manitogata]

Brilliant!!!

[victorbrunella]

muito bom video,lindo L1011
