theres still many amazing planes left to fly my man

I rode an Air Canada L-1011 from Copenhagen to Toronto in 1974. It felt noticeably nose up.

Huge interior. Lots of space.

24 year old male here.

i flew in an airplane with that same engine configuration when i was 5 years old. i'm not sure if it's that model.

was cool flying in a plane the first time

eta: wikipedia sez iberia used that plane in 1997, so i may have flown in it.

take that op

There's still some 727 & Tu-154's in service. You might even be able to track down a DC-10. Get your S-ducted trijet on before it's too late.

you are here forever

When I was young I think I flew in a United DC-10. It was comfy but weird that my family was in another section and I was stuck in the middle of the 5-seat center row.

How does L1011's interior compare to IL96's?

>>1044487
Similar engine config alternatives would be DC-10, MD-11, B727, Tu-154

>>1044514
How about a Falcon

The L-1011 was molded smoother and sleeker than the DC10.

DC-10 isn't s-ducted. S-duct is sexy.

KC-10 Extenders count? Also there is the C-141 that is out of service sadly, damn I want to fly one.

Cessna's (miserably failed) attempt to build a dedicated airliner. Not necessarily a bad design, just 20 years or so to late. Airlines were already buying the first jets.
