Greetings Folks, The return of the 'Legends' series.. Now, if you are bored of this I'll stop.. Let me know its just I've got nearly 50 of these ready to go lol Now Legends 11, and another no longer in the Skies of the U.K. (at least under the RAF banner.. As our wonderfully intelligent Government has sold some to private company and then....yes! Hired them back!!!) Go figure! This is a Lockheed Tristar K1 of 26 Squadron taken at RAF Waddington.. The Lockheed TriStar was an air-to-air tanker and transport aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). All were converted civilian Lockheed L-1011-500 TriStar airliners—previously operated by British Airways and Pan American World Airways—and entered service with the RAF in 1984. The converted aircraft were purchased following the Falklands War, after a requirement for additional air-to-air refuelling operations had been identified. Of the nine in service, two were tankers (K1) with passenger space and also limited space for cargo loaded aft of the main deck; three were solely transport aircraft (C2); and the remaining four (KC1) could be used for either of the two roles. The TriStars formed the air-to-air refuelling fleet of the RAF until replaced by the Airbus A330 MRTT under the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) programme. The TriStar fleet was operated by No. 216 Squadron of RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. 216 Squadron was officially disbanded on 20 March 2014 and flew its last sorties with the TriStar on 24 March 2014. STAT TIME: Crew: 4 (1 captain, 1 co-pilot, 1 air engineer, 1 Air Loadmaster) Capacity: 187 passengers (250 on C variant) Max. takeoff weight: 540,000 lb Powerplant: 3 × Rolls-Royce RB.211-524B turbofans, 50,000 lbf (222.4 kN) each Maximum Fuel Load: 300,000 lb Maximum speed: Mach 0.90 Cruise speed: Mach 0.83 Range: 4,200 nmi with maximum passenger payload.
