What an amazing shot. Truly a beautiful aircraft. The lighting is perfect and very nice contrast with the buildings in the background. This will be a desktop on my computer.

Great to see a Tristar still operating. I still miss seeing BWIA Tristars in my country in action.

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 25, 2008:
Newest-looking L1011 I have ever seen!

A visitor from Trinidad And Tobago posted Tue November 25, 2008:
Right now I am doing my conversion exams to receive my country's CPL. One of these exams is called performance A, which is based entirely on the L-1011 performance graphs and limitations. It is nice to see one of these beauties still in full operation and not just reading about and working her performance graphs in some boring class. Thankyou

Great picture

A visitor from Philippines posted Mon November 24, 2008:
I didn't know that there's still a TriStar operating today. Wow, I'm glad to see this 'coz its rare.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 24, 2008:
All I can say is WOW! That aircraft looks spotless, as if it just rolled off the assembly line at Lockheed. All spit and polished! This is definitely 5-star photo!

A visitor from Portugal posted Mon November 24, 2008:
Wow, those reflections are so great! Fantastic photo my friend!

Best Regards
