I remember flying on the TriStar as a kid from BOS to STL and on to Denver Stapleton. VERY cool plane and it's one of the reasons I'm so hooked on planes over 30 years later.
I only had one opportunity to fly the L1011, out of St Louis with TWA. I can't for the life of me remember where we flew to, but I remember it being a pretty nice cabin, on par with the DC10.
All these cool planes from my youth are going to the bone yard, it makes me kind of misty eyed.

Being replaced by a more fuel efficient but less capable aircraft.
Yeah... and built cheap and crappier...
Tail mount rear engine (damn auto correct)
LOL... I know what you are saying.... It happens to us all. At least the way you state it, it has a unique funny read to it... A good needed grin for the morning.
