To commemorate the United States' 200th or Bicentennial Anniversary in 1976, several US airlines temporarily painted selected airliners in patriotic color schemes. Delta chose to re-paint the forward fuselage of N707DA, an L-1011-385-1, with a triangular arrangement of stars and stripes above the wording "We The People 1776-1976".
Designed to meet an American Airlines requirement for a wide-bodied transport, the L-1011 was first flown on November 16th, 1970. The general layout and three-engined configuration is very similar to the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, with which the L-1011 was designed to compete. It was the first widebody airliner to receive FAA certification for zero-visibilty autolanding using an Inertial Navigation System based autopilot. A total of 250 aircraft were produced before Lockheed elected to completely withdraw from the commercial aircraft business as a result of poor sales. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
