Lockheed L-1011
 

Hi Everyone

I was just trying to find out if any airline regularly flew a Lockheed L-1011 into Sydney ?
I know Cathy use to fly the 747 to Sydney / Melbourne but did they ever Substitute the L- 1011

Also does anyone have a photo of one in Sydney :D

Many Thanks

Dahm. The title got me thinking there might be one in sydney.

I recall American Trans Air on a few charters. Nice paint scheme as well.

Just did a quick scan of my archive and came up with the following ...

L-1011-385-3 Royan Jordanian JY-AGD being pushed back in Sydney on 13/02/1988. In the background
is Qantas B747-238B VH-EBP, and the Kangaroo on the tail still had wings.

Didn't Gulf Air operate some into SYD a while ago?

I got all excited too. Don't ya hate that!

The only American Trans Air image I could find in my archive for Mascot was this one.
