I sure miss this RB211 start-up noise. Watch the video, and you'll see when she starts smoking after the fan takes the air thru the compressor and combustion chamber.

@MARR_Airplanes I concur

So nostalgic. Also, it is extremely depressing to see this beauty scrapped

@MARR_Airplanes Also, L-1011 not fatal as DC-10. I incident 07/19/89 UAL flt 232 lost all hydraulics when engine 2 exploded. 3 hydraulic lines were severed. L1011 had 4 separate hydraulics. if one line was severed, the other engine system would still function & wouldn't lose flight controls
