Trans
World Airlines Lockheed L-1011-1 TriStar
N11002 (c/n 1014)
TWA ordered 25 of the original
series Lockheed Tri-Stars in 1974. They were used primarily on
domestic long
and intermediate range routes. They later picked up a dozen or so
series -100
machines from
various sources. Bob Garrard took the above shot of the second
one received by
the airline at Chicago's O'Hare
Airport in June of 1977. It is displaying yet another
variation of the
livery scheme with titling
outlined in red. This particular aircraft was written off in an
aborted take-off
from New York's
JFK International Airport on 30 July 1992 . The aircraft wound up
in a field to the
left of runway 13R and caught fire. Fortunately there was
no loss of life.
