I was looking at article about Lockheed Jetstar and L-188, and I got me to thinking, what is your favorite Lockheed civilian aircraft. Mine is Lockheed only jetliner, the L1011 Tristar.

How many Lockheed's are airworthy flying for pax airlines? I know for Hewa Bora, but they stoped flying L-1011, maybe year ago...

The 1st. class section in the rear of KLM's Electra always gives me nice memories...

ATA still has 3 L-1011's I think that they use for charter flying and they used one just 2 weeks ago to fly the University of Southern Mississippi to Idaho for a football game.

I like the Jetstar as well, but the L-1011 would be my favorite.

Would love to have seen that take-off from the 6,500 foot runway at Hattiesburg.

Possibly, my favourite civialian Lockheed aircraft is the TriStar.

Nice memories when Iberia operated it...

Hi!

For me all Lockheed civilian designs are absolutely over the edge, but I must say that the one that always impressed me was the Lockheed Constellation/Super Constellation/Starliner family, and from those the most fantastic is the L1649A Starliner.
