  • Hey Ryan! My father worked at Lockheed in Burbank during the late 1980s and actually help rivet the structure on the TWA and Eastern L1011s in the video. He and I both want to thank you very much for putting up this video it means alot to my dad to see the aircraft that he worked on in flight even if its in the past.

  • @sfrenchhorn07, it's always worth the effort as long as someone's enjoying it and I'm glad both of you are. I always appreciate your comments and tell your Dad that he's my hero for working on the L-1011!

    Out of curiousity, do you and your Dad live local? I'd like to take you both out to lunch and if you wanted to meet Craig (the videographer) you could do that, we could also pick a VHS video from his collection and we could dust it off and take a look at it and upload the highlights.

  • This is a very awesome capture of L-1011s at LAX..but I hope like heck that Craig shot that China Airlines 747SP (I saw the tail) as the LTU L-1011 positions to take-off! Thanks for sharing this Ryan!

  • @Starboard76, unfortunately he didn't capture it on this one. I'm sure he may have it in another video so I'll be looking in the future.

see all

  • I love the 1011 - best plane of all

  • what a beautiful bird!

  • Great videos of great planes! Thank you!

  • interesting how high of an angle they flare at while landing.

  • Is it me or is the TriStar a sexy plane?

  • Absolutely fantastic! The L-1011 is one of my favorite aircraft of all time. Kind of sad and yet great to see those classic TWA and Eastern liveries.

  • Great posting,Thanks.
