Some 10 Delta L-1011s were retired at Mojave with an additional allotment at Victorville, California. Delta was the world's largest operator of the Tri-Star and last frontline operator before the airline finally retired the last of the fleet in August 2001 after 28 years of service. In the end, these former flagships were confined to high density Florida to Atlanta routes. Delta's Tri-Stars were all purchased new or second hand from Eastern. These images were taken in April 1999. Tours and photography are now basically off limits, but if you are interested in purchasing parts or cannibalized fuselages contact AVTEL in Mojave, CA at 661-824-4517 or Evergreen Air Center at Pinal Park in Marana, AZ at 520-682-4181. Fuselages hulls are sold for scrap value in the 15K to 25K range.
