@1DLflyer Not true, I flew on AWE and I didn't even realize the plane was down.

The L-1011 is like a family member that I love dearly and I don't get to see anymore !!
I miss that old lady !!

@bryanb16th the song is I miss you my Hawaii - Na Leo

The aircraft begins the right turn over Barbers Point and flies directly over Iriqouis Point into Honolulu International.

At least the L-1011 flaps were quiet, unlike the flaps on newer planes like the A380.

love the flaps

kind of scarey when air brakes are deployed in midair...I guess they know what they are doing.....LOL

@pentogram23 The air brakes (spoilers) are used to slow down faster. Many times Air Traffic Control will ask to slow down more to separate traffic who may be ahead being lined up for landing.

music goes perfectly with the video, so calming and peaceful, much like how it felt like to ride on a tristar.....Oh, those days.

@ie210 Thanks. The L-1011 was a treat to all passengers who enjoyed traveling by air. In those days, I had the chance to ride in first class. What a joy. I loved the LAX ATL SJU trips. From boarding, the special sound of the doors closing or opening. The firm click sound of the landing gear when it was locked before landing until the friendly wave goodbye by the flight attendants made the entire travel experience unforgettable.

@1DLflyer Was the L1011 a quiet plane sitting in the back? I never flew on one, but every video I have seen seems to show a pretty quiet cabin. Pretty amazing when you think it's 43 year old technology already! I remember reading some years back, that the L1011 was already Stage III compliant even before there even was a Stage III !!

@Coaljet Yes, it was!. As you can see in the video, I was sitting in the last bulkhead seat by the exit door behind the wing, and you can tell how quiet it is. It didn't even vibrate like it does in the 747s
