And, CMB-LHR, 12 hours. Or, DUS-LAX.
Never a problem.
I operate two -500's now, on a somewhat regular basis, and the charter customers seem pleased.
The only problem?
Darn Airboos types keep getting in the way, with their s l o w cruising speeds.
767's, too.

NB.
When DAL retired their last TriStar, I was informed by a DAL exec VP that ( his exact words)...'The L1011 made us more money than any other type'.
DAL should know, as they were the largest operator.
TriStar...often admired, seldom equaled.
Especially for dual/dual CATIIIB.
After (personally) 16,000+ command hours in type, I have no complaints.

Lockheed delivered a fine ship.
