That's a Lockheed L-1011. Looks like it might have been a TWA bird.

Believe it's a PSA L-1011

My Dad worked on that one too.....He worked for Lockheed for 43 years, starting in late 40's or early 50's. Worked on everything and I mean everything , including the Cheyenne. Took early retirement when Lockheed was transferring F-22 program to GA.

Early F-104B development

My trusty 206 and my copilot Jim on one of the San Juan islands, some of our favorite places to go here in the PNW

Anybody else fascinated with planes in scrapyards?

This was probably at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, CA. USA. Real easy to drive by. Was pumping gas there one day and a restored F-86 Sabre was flying around the area. Bronco Trip!!

Back in a past life as CO of a Navy helo squadron. Putting in some work- ammo cross deck with USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Some great flying.

HSL-41/43/45. Fom some crazy reason, Always managed CG dets. I came from tail hooks and always kicked myself in the ass for not getting into LAMPS from the get go. What were you Skipper of?

Hit up the flight line cafe while there, always something interesting out the window.

Awesome! Originally an H-3 HC guy (HC-16/HC-2) and then did the transition to the MH-60S on an XO/FRS instructor ride at HC-3 (became HSC-3) then CO/XO at HSC-21 (old HC-11). Best job I ever had! Had command of USS Denver (LPD 9) later on when she was out in Japan.
