Thanks you. This was the perfect time to see the Tristars arricing from SAn, SFO, LAX and ATL. I was lucky the Air Marshal Island was there too.

1DLflyer I mountainbiked out to Crossbay bridge across from JFK in the early 2000’s. Delta A310’s and short l-1011’s drifted in from the Atlantic in one long unending Conga line in the afternoon hours. Loved it.

I only flew on an L-1011 twice as a kid (30 years ago) but it was an experience I will NEVER forget. The TriStar is the reason I love aviation to this day.

They look so rigid and tough when compared to flexible wings of the 87. Great capture.

They really don’t look that rigid when you compare them to the A300.

Hey! We're not all that old. Okay, I guess we are. Flew on one LHR-JFK in August 1988. It was a TWA flight crew and number operating a Gulf Air L-1011 as per their partnership at the time. It was great! I was 16 and one happy avgeek!

@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.

Great aircraft, nothing before or after ever came close to matching it. Very first aircraft I ever went on flying from London Gatwick to Malta with British Airtours. So comfortable even in cattle class. Had a second chance to fly on one around 1998 flying from Dalaman to Gatwick with Caledonian. It had apparently been retired from British Airways and had then become a tanker for the RAF before being bought by Caledonian for service once again.

Thanks for your comment. The first time I took my parents on the L-1011 was from LAX to SJU. We flew in First class, and as we sttled down the flight attendants were hanging my parents coats and we were getting our drinks , my dad asked me when were we going to get on board. I replied that we were on board already, to which he replied "I thought we were in the First Class pre-boarding lounge"! That was a classic that shows how wonderful this airplane was.

Sure brings back memories of flying on such a great bird--and for me, it was my favorite airliner with the 727 being 2nd. I flew on this same type aircraft which was used by Delta the ATL to HNL flight that would depart around noon EST and arrive in HNL around 3-330pm local time...It would fly nonstop from ATL to HNL being a 9 1/2 hr flight from what I remember and Delta used the short dash 500 model which was the long range version a full sized and oldest original model with max passenger configuration from what I recall. I have been on both flights-the one from LAX being the larger one and the -500 model from ATL nonstop and enjoyed the long nonstop much better than the lengthy layover connecting flight using the LAX to HNL model... Regardless, I still loved these planes and remember when they actually flew into OGG--Maui which has a rather short runway of 7000ft for aircraft this size--the same length as the runways at LaGuardia in New York which for years handled wide body aircraft like the L1011 and DC10's often seen at the airport yet it's runways being only 7000ft in length...I really enjoyed the L1011 due to it's very roomy coach cabin seats and areas...it also had enough lavatories in the rear available--5, so that nobody had to wait long periods before being able to use...it was just a comfy aircraft to be on while taking very long trips compared to the aircraft available today--usually being wide body twin engine aircraft with too many passengers crammed inside! ...

Actually, in the case of the L1011, what your watching is the Dynamic Lift Control in action, those spoilers are controlling the rate of descent, not the airspeed. The L1011 maintains a constant angle of attack on approach.
