TWA:

Oh, no.

If you're going to choose TWA as having the most beautiful L-1011's at least pick the right livery! haha.

Got to go with the red stripe livery!!!!!

I prefer the previous BWIA on the Tri Star from the 80's...... It was special to me as we used to fly it to Guyana. I also liked Air Lanka .....

There are certain liveries that just don't look good on certain a/c. To me, the earlier TWA liveries just don't look good on the TriStar. Same can also be said of the Pan Am livery on them as well (Too bad they got rid of the TriStars prior to the "billboard" titles.).

I wish that DL would have painted their TriStars in the Ron Allen livery, as I think it suited them:

I think you could class this choice as - well duh!

I must say that the Eastern and Delta classic widget livery are a very close second in my books.

Nice, I think there is no plane that does not look good in IB colors. Hope they will never change their livery !!
