Friday plane porn

Sorry for the wait. This week Friday plane porn goes old school, cuz we don't shy away from the aging beauties.



This week we have a Delta L-1011. The L-1011 was a magnificent medium to long range aircraft that has mostly disappeared from the skies. The L-1011 is frequently confused with the DC-10 made by the Douglas aircraft company and debuting at the same time in the early 70's. However their birth is where the similarities end. While many DC-10s wound up as smoldering pieces of wreckage due to their own faulty design, the 1011 was rewound for its safety record. in fact to this day there are only 3 fatal incidents involving 1011s and all of them can be traced to weather or pilot error.

Today most 1011s have been retired, and Lockheed has gone out of the commercial airplane business. There are still some bouncing around flying charters in Africa and Asia.
