yeah :) and the sound of the RB 211 were just unique :)
I flew my whole childhood with LTU's L-1011s at least 3-4 times a year from 84 to 96 :) when flying was something special :)
everyone took a shower , got his suit or some other special clothing on, and everybody was excited :) And especially you got that bit more legroom and nicer service on board :)
children were allowed to visit the flight deck.....
daaaammmm.....that was a good time :)
too sad its over :/

@SIXXPK 150k? That's $150,000? How and where in the world might one acquire a former widebody airliner for that small of a sum?
-
Three people to push the thrust levers...??? Really???!
-
the fact that you can buy a piece of engineering like this for half the cost of most houses is shocking but what are the maintenance and fuel costs?
must be astronomical

Incredible...those were the days!

Born, lived and died in the DFW Metroplex...Wonderful plane made by a wonderful company...It surely deserved a much kinder fate...1985 R.I.P...

Why did you sell it? It looks like its in beautiful condition.
-
So do you own this plane personally? and if so how much does one of these cost?
-
Beautiful engine sound. Very quite. Very Nice.
You can buy one for less than 150K easy....but your not going to fly it for that amount. The AD's on the RB211-22B alone is a killer. I'm buying 524's for less than 10K for scrap. Sad :(

Not anymore....we sold it for tear down then some museum in Kansas bought it and flew it...you can pick up an L1011-1 for less than 150K. Best airplane I've ever owned. No other airliner will ever be built like an L1011......it's a Lockheed !!!
