Historic PSA Tri-Jet Appearance

PSA was known for its vibrant and welcoming branding, which included a distinctive smile on the plane’s nose section. This additional texture accurately reflects that iconic look, giving flight simulation enthusiasts a nostalgic glimpse of the airline’s legacy. The real-world Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, developed in the 1970s, was a wide-body tri-jet designed to handle mid-to-long-range routes and featured advanced flight deck technology as well as Rolls-Royce RB211 engines.
