The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, an American mid-long-range trijet airliner, was Lockheed's third wide-body jet to enter commercial service.

The Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, commonly referred to as just L-1011 (pronounced "ell-ten-eleven"), was the third widebody passenger jet airliner to enter operation, following the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. Like the DC-10, the TriStar is a three-engine jet airliner. Between 1968 and 1984, Lockheed manufactured a total of 250 TriStars. After production ended, Lockheed withdrew from commercial aircraft business due to its below-target sales.[1] In the 1960s, American Airlines approach

The L-1011 TriStar was Lockheed's entry into the mid-size and mid-range commercial aircraft market. The TriStar was certified in 1972 and produced until 1984; Lockheed ultimately built 195 L-1011s in total. Customers included Air Canada, ANA, British Airways, Court Line, Delta, Eastern, LTU, PSA, TWA, Cathay Pacific, Gulf Air, and Saudia. The L-1011 prototype, which was first flown on 16 November 1970, was scrapped for parts in 1986.

I recently came across the above cut-away for an Eastern Air Lines Lockheed L1011 and wanted to share. Notice the dividers in economy (seen better in an image down below) and the lounge seating (red seats) in the front and rear of the aircraft. For the time, it really was “The plane that pampers people.” […]
