Quote: The 1011 was a great aircraft in it's day, but it's day has gone.
It was not a great aircraft in it's day it was a dog. It may have been reasonably nice to fly for those who had not flown a lot nicer, but it was a maintenance nightmare, always going tech and it caused the financial collapse of more than one airline, Caledonian in it's last reincarnation being one. It even had the last laugh on poor old 411, went tech with 200 passengers in an out of the way place. 411 took it so personaly he finally blew his own main fuse. Why resurect something that did not work in the first place? Did I fly it? Yes and did not rate it. Let it RIP in the boneyard. It even caused the collapse of the civil airline program of Locheed, that says it all.
