Deez,

The Lockheed was a beautiful jet, with an enomorous cockpit. For its' time-the early 70s- it had a wonderful autoflight system with true autoland capabilities.

Like Delta, we had them at TWA. Very fast, sexy, and when those RB211s started, the triple spools had a distinctive tone to them.

Unfortunately, with all the smoke that came out of them, they'd have to change the ATIS because the field would go IMC.
