Where are L1011-500 now?

[Big777jet]

I never thought about that today. Delta used to fly L1011-500 Atlanta to Europe London and Frankfort for many years ago. Where are L1011-500's today? Aren't they at graveyard or scrapped out? I hardly to believe that Delta started 30 years ago from Atlanta to London first Trans Atlantic flight that time go fly fast from today. It must've L1011-500 flight. Isn't that right?

Thanks,

Stuart

Delta regularly used their other versions of the L-1011 on transatlantic flights, in addition to the 500.

Most of the 500s today still seem to be in one piece and are stored in the various desert fields, but I doubt many will fly again.

We have got quite a few L-1011's standing around in JNB.

Currently there are less then 20 L-1011-500 flying.

The majority of these (9) are operated by the RAF. They have a fleet of 4 tanker/freighters, 2 tankers and 3 passenger aircraft.

There are two operators using L-1011-500 operating out of Portugal (Euro Atlantic and Luzair), and a couple more in the Middle East (Kallat Elasker and Privilage Jet).

Addtionally, there are two or three privately owned (VIP) examples.

The 4 ex-American Trans Air and a few ex-Delta -500's that could be reactivated are in storage.

In my opinion the EuroAtlantic Tristar has been scrapped out already.

It shows up as active here:

I don't necessarily know if that means it is/isn't. JP.net has photos from April 2007. Photos seem to end in mid 2007 - so potentially that means it isn't flying anymore.

She flew a trip (just the one however) mid last month so she's still alive.

Long live CS-TEB!

The Orbital Science aircraft is still operational. The Orbitial Science aircraft is an L-1011-100 (with plans to convert it to a -200).

Yes, I think flights from Brize to Ascension going to be one of the last chances for a civilian to fly this bird.

That may be true - flights are available to the public, in general, but the fares are very expensive (and onwards to Port Stanley).
