L-1011 Stargazer still making history

Nice to see the L-1011 Stargazer alive and kicking:

The U. S. Space Force successfully launched the Tactically Responsive Launch-2 (TacRL-2) mission on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on June 13 at 4:11 a.m. EDT, delivering a technology demonstration satellite to Low Earth Orbit.

Thai Sky Airlines, founded in 2004, was one of the last airlines in the world to set up an operation of scheduled flights using the L-1011. They had a fleet of two ex-Delta TriStars: HS-AXA and HS-AXE.

Sam Chui, a well-known aviation photographer and blogger, had the chance to fly this airline and shared a very interesting flight report on his blog.
