TriStar,
Simply magnificent,
When I was a kid I used fly a lot on the AirLanka TriStars between Colombo and Frankfurt.
They were such amazing machines, way ahead of their time and one of the reasons I wanted to start flying.
Probably 411A would have been flying them at that time.
The one regret I have is never having gotten the chance to fly one of them, would have been nice to see stuff like DLC etc. in action.
Instead I ended up being in the playstation generation only flying glasscockpit ever since. But there are quite a few guys who would have loved to fly the old girl, especially when we talk to people who have flown them into places like Kai Tak with a little smile on their faces remembering an era long long gone.
The TriStar was Lockheed's masterpiece of civil aviation setting the benchmark for others to follow.
