Lockheed Electra 

This is GREAT! I flew these planes when I was a young laddybuck. But this is like a complete flight in one of the best planes THANKS!!!

Wonderful, doesn't look easy to trim that beauty ! May these birds fly as long as possible

Wonderful! First plane I remember flying in was an Electra. Western Airlines from Sioux Falls to Denver, 1965.

Thank you!!!

Sorry for the late reply ;) He's covering the fire extinguishers during upshifting the engines.

Marvelous! At 3:33 he has his hands near the fire extinguishers-is that part of the taxi procedure?

Great clip!

Magnificent !

Fantastic opportunity aboard such a magnificent aeroplane! When did you make this video? I can only fantasize in Microsoft Flight Simulator (see Video Response).

Prop-jet airliners ARE the very BEST passenger planes... hands-down!

ainda existe alguma empresa aerea que opera com o electra?

OK, dumb question....when they are getting the engines started, it sounds like one of them is kept at a higher RPM for awhile, and then the Captain brings it down once the other 3 are going (@ 3:10)...why is that? Thanks.

Same here !!!

Anchorage to Cold bay, then on to Adak73 Best damn pilots on the planet,, Reeve Aleutian,, it was an honor and a privilege.
