Answer to 'Name this propeller aircraft' in 'Odds & Ends'. The Lockheed L-188 Electra is a four-engine, turboprop airliner manufactured by Lockheed. It was smaller, quieter, faster, and more economical to operate than the then current four-engine piston aircraft. The Electra can take off fully loaded and make multiple flights without the need to refuel. In 2023, there are 21 registered in Canada, a mixture of L188A and L188C models. They are currently operated by Airspray, Buffalo Airways and Conair as fire-fighting tankers or as freighters. In the past they have been operated by several other Canadian carriers including Pacific Western, NWT Air, Nordair and Canadian Airlines (the latter two operators as ice-patrol aircraft for the Canadian government). Those still operating in Canada are the only remaining airworthy Electras in the world of the 170 built between 1957 and 1961. |
