411A, I never had the pleasure to fly the L1011, however, every person that I have talked to that have flown them loved them, must be a hell of an aircraft.
Indeed so, con-pilot, in fact I (personally) turned down the ahhh 'upgrade?' to the B747 (twice), simply because...as referenced to first generation wide-body jet transport aircraft, there is only ONE type that has never 'crashed' due to an aircraft/engine system malfunction.
It is the Lockheed L1011.

Made in America...with proper RollsRoyce engines..naturally.
RR, the best in the business, with turbine engines...bar NONE.

In my, ahhh, not so humble opinion, of course.
