Piece of junk that even Delta couldn't keep in the air....
Strange comment, considering Delta had, at one time, 69 TriStars (as I recall) and were the largest operator of the type, and...according to a DAL senior VP I had a conversation with, just after they retired the last one, (his words directly), 'the TriStar made us more money than any other airplane we have operated, to date.'
Guess it wasn't so 'bad' after all....
