Similiar to 727 with the "s" duct?
Didn't good ole Boeing sue Lockheed over the design of the No. 2 engine blending it into the fuselaje as opposed to a straight set up like the DC-10.
Yup
My first L1011 trip was TWA, Seattle to NYC, which I repeated many times. It was a great airplane, and, like Jason, it contributes to my enthusiasm for airplanes today. In my passenger opinion, as flown by TWA the L1011 was more comfortable than the DC10.
Agree. Comfortable and quiet.
The RAF L1011 together the the VC-10 mean the end of honest to goodness solidly build aircraft not designed to operate via computers alone but by way of old fashioned wires and pulleys etc..
..how long shall the KC-10 operate with the RNAF and USAF?

My first L-1011 ride was KFK=LIS with TWA. What a bird!
