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.
