Lockheed TriStar

"Golden Falcon" route between the Persian Gulf and London • 1978

The golden livery of this aircraft reflects the wealth of the oil gulf states Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and United Arab Emirates.

The TriStar was a good aircraft but a failure in capitalist terms. An attempt to enter in the procelous world of the wide-bodies airliners, it was the last great civilian proyect of the Lockheed firm, later specialized in military supplies as the X-35 or the F-22.
