L-1011 crews
I always wanted to fly as crew on the L-1011 after i flew on one from ALC-LGW with CKT back in 1998, such a wonderful a/c,so clean and tidy too,shame JMC got rid of them.
My friend who i fly with flew on the L-1011 with Air Ops of Europe (air oops as she calls them!) and she loved it too.Her only gripe was that there was only 1 galley slave under the floor, usually her, for 393 pax,mostly on a PMI or ALC and her first action after release was to put a BCF in the sink as she had an oven fire on 8/10 flights, nice!
What did those of you who flew L-1011 think of it?I do remember it sounded like a 757 but 100 times louder on take off, a very loud growling sound,rather like a lawnmower really.was that due to the no.2 engine noise being carried through the cabin ceiling?
