Ask your husband for me if that was an L-1011 in the commercial? I think it is but not certain. I don't see them around anymore.
It looked kind of like a Boeing 727, but too fat...I think it is some graphics animator who created it and thought it looked good as a wide body...:)
The 727 was a hell of a plane. Good design, I always felt safe in them...not like those damned DC-10’s. THOSE gave me the heebie-jeebies.
That was a Boeing 727 in the commercial; interestingly, it had winglets (the little fins on the end of the wings), which a very small number of 727s were ever re-fitted with very recently. An L-1011 is considerably larger (and over twice as heavy) as a 727.
They probably either did the 727 completely with CGI, or found one of the very few privately-owned 727s still flying—hence the winglets, which are a modern retrofit—and used it as a model to base the CGI around.
