The Airline History Museum at Kansas City’s Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport aquired a Tristar in March 2010. We can still see atleast one 1011 in the USA.

Unfortunately at some point the then president of Lockheed had all the die equipment for the L-1011 cut up so the company wouldn't have to pay taxes on it ending the life of this magnificent plane. Shortly after the destruction of the machinery Delta Airlines attempted to order many more L-1011s and was astonished when they were told that would be impossible. Very sad.

if there are other countries still using these beautiful planes, I wonder if they are allowed to land in the us airports. I know that some aircraft are discontinued due to noise and fuel issue. thanks, please reply

Sorry, I don't know the US regulations, here in Europe as long as the noise regulations are complied, these Tristar's, and other planes, can operate, no problem.
