There was also the Saudia fire on an L-1011. But, the L-1011 did have the best safety record of the first-generation widebodies (DC-10, 747, L-1011, Airbus A300). It’s definitely an engineer’s airplane. The DC-10, by contrast, was a businessman’s airplane.

In the beginning we had problems keeping them on wing for 250 hours. Rolls could not keep up with parts and improvements. We had L1011s with "Solid State Engines" parked at LAX and MCI for months. By solid state I mean engines robbed and chained to cement block weights. The engines were improved it took a few years. The RB was never as bad as the CF6s. The CF6 was always spilling its guts.

This aircraft made me love airplanes... There were a lot more domestic wide bodies in the 80's and 90's but most of them retired in the early 2000's. I remember walking onto this jet for the first time in the late 80's and I felt like I was in an auditorium it was so big. I even remember liking it more than the DC-10's I flew on. I think it's easily the most beautiful, most well designed passenger aircraft in history and I wish Lockheed would take another stab at it -- putting both Boeing and Airbus in their place, again...

I had the privilege and honor of flying in a L-1011 in 1998 from Toronto Canada to Athens Greece onboard Air Transat... Probably my most memorable flight... That sounds and that awesome cruising speed! ... I've done that flight countless times and that L1011 still holds the record at 8 hours 54 minutes. The L1011 symbolized the golden era of flying, when flying held a certain prestige when every seat was cushioned for total comfort and had an ashtray and the airline food was actually good, because we lived in better times.... Seems like planes are getting slower and alot more uncomfortable with these transit bus style seats, all they care about is profits. Make the seats smaller, less leg room, jam as many seats into an aircraft as possible, charge an arm and a leg for baggage, serve disgusting barely eatable food, charge extra for drinks and then fly slow... There was a time people hoped their flights were longer because they enjoyed being on the plane... Now people can't wait to get off the plane.... How sad.

Very under-rated aircraft in its' day, and quite a machine to fly on. Smooth ride, tight handling according to those who flew it, very safe, and plenty sexy too with the RR engine whine, good looks, performance, sound of the center engine in the tail, and even the hydraulic flap noises. I flew on several of these with DL, a few with EA, and once on TW. Favorite flight was in 1/96 from SFO to ATL, upon moving back east. Sign of better things to come, that takeoff remains etched in my mind.

This was one of the coolest aspects of flying in the 80s-90s (for me it was the 90s). You never knew what you were gonna get. One time I ended up on a DC-10 for a short hop from Boston to Detroit. We flew on a Delta L-1011 on the way to Disney when I was still practically a toddler. Another time, it was a 767 from Boston to Atlanta. More often you’d be in a 737-200 or some species of DC-9…but wide bodies were much more common so you’d occasionally wind up on something huge and completely unexpected.

My dad worked at Lockheed on the L-1011 program as a test flight instrumentation engineer. That CATIII auto-land was some piece of electronics. Got to tour his plane (Dash 3) in Palmdale once. I also would purposely fly it between LAX and SAN on Friday nights ($19 one way). I finally got a LAX to ATL trip in early 80s on one. I was always very proud of what my did and thought those planes were awesome.

One of the greatest passenger planes ever built. It was a work horse for so many airlines.

loved the L 1011...I am 34 and used to fly on them back in the 80's from SJC (san jose ca) to ORD (chicago)...sturdiest airplane and I loved the whine of the engines....this year I flew the A-321 to chicago and the MD90 back to Atl.....they do not compare to the L-1011!!!
