@canuckete My grandfather was an engineer for Lockheed and worked extensively on the L-1011....He always felt (as do I) that it was far superior to the DC-10. I would give anything to even see one...I've always been fascinated with every aspect of that aircraft. I suppose it was reading about the EAL 401 incident in 1972 that peaked my interest.
@pcressma Ya, it is my favourite aircraft but it's way beyond my time. My co-workers told me they would have to raise their feet from the jumpseat on landing since there can be toilet leaks sometimes haha.
Actually, the plane used in this clip was the Boeing 767-200.
