TAP Air Portugal relaunches Los Angeles (LAX) route

TAP Air Portugal started flying to Los Angeles in April 1989 using the L-1011 TriStar 500. The route, called the "Bi-coastal" was seasonal and only lasted until the early 90s.

Yesterday, TAP relaunched the route to Los Angeles, 6 years after flying again to San Francisco, this time using their A330neos.

I thought it would be nice to remember those days when the L-1011 was the flagship of the fleet:

Barq Aviation L1011-500 Karachi to Islamabad

This is a nice footage of a position flight during what was probably one the last L-1011 passenger flights operation in 2013. Barq Aviation was operating for Askari Aviation out of Pakistan:
