Spooky 2

I was lucky enough to have flown both the DC10 and L1011 having about 4000 hours in each type as PIC. To me from a purely pilots point of view, the L1011 was a superior airplane to the DC10.
This is a superb forum. We can find here a lot of valuable and useful info.

Although I don't want to transform this as an L-1011 VS DC-10, Spooky 2, when you say L1011 was a superior airplane, can you substantiate that statement?

And what is your opinion on a new generation L1011 as I have been previously wrote?

Reengine, upgrade to fly-by-wire and glass cockpit would you think this would be an valuable and viable option in the medium term long range market?

Great contributions from you all, thanks
