I've taken many long haul trips on these. I was sad to see Delta take the last of them out of service as each aircraft came up for heavy maintenance in the mid '90s.

I loved L-!011's! So sleek and stylish. And a raised tail engine is just *special*. So hard to find nowadays, except on cargo DC-10s, and some old 727/DC9 models.
