Lockheed L-1011 TriStar - Gulf Air
Gulf Air flew the Lockheed TriStar in a beautiful livery. The airline flew more than a dozen L-1011s (-1, -100 and -200 versions).
Gulf Air started operations in 1950 as Gulf Aviation. In 1973 it became the national airline of Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar and was consequently renamed Gulf Air. The state of Qatar withdrew from Gulf Air in 2002, because it wanted to support its own airline, Qatar Airways, and in 2005 Abu Dhabi announced that it also wanted to pull out in favour of its own Etihad Airways.
