I seem to recall I once flew on an L-1011 TriStar as a kid that ferried an engine. It was out of Atlanta but I can&#x27;t remember if we were going to Los Angeles or San Francisco. That was probably 25 years ago, so not sure which it was.<p>As a sidenote, the L-1011 is still one of my favorite planes. It was one of the most technologically advanced airliners ever created when it was unveiled; lots of things about it were way ahead of its time. It&#x27;s a shame that the competition with the Douglas and the DC-10 nearly bankrupted both Lockheed and Douglas. Airlines played both companies against each other and nearly killed both. Lockheed ended up exiting the commercial business while Douglas merged with McDonnell.<p>There&#x27;s a great long article on the the L-1011 published a few months ago: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.airlinereporter.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;requiem-trijet-masterpiece-lockheed-l-1011-tristar&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.airlinereporter.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;requiem-trijet-master...</a>
