Hi Peer,

Now THAT is the prettiest thing I've seen in ages!! I knew when that model came out that someone would paint one of these...if not I was going to try! The Lockheed Electra has been my very favorite turboprop ever since I was a little kid. My parents have movies of me from Easter 1969,( I was seven,) and I was playing with a model of an L-188. I've loved them ever since! When I finish my YS-11, I plan on doing a paint for this one that I will release to everyone here at Flightsim.com. Don't hold your breath though...it'll be a while! I also have to figure our how to get the gauges to show. Did you have any problems?

By the way, we sealed the deal on the Hilton in Athens, so at least we have rooms there. We've narrowed the Amsterdam search down somewhat, but haven't picked one yet!

Talk to you soon!

Chuck :)

I have never seen or heard about a Lockheed Electra before, maybe because I am only interested in the major props but this is a nice looking aircraft. Almost looks like an ATR with four engines and the wings upside down :-). Wonderful shots Jan and I assume that it must have been an exciting flight.

The Electra was an important plane in it's time. KLM owned several. Many of them are still current, mostly on cargo duties. Have a close look at the Orion, it's more or less an Electra!
Thanks again my friend!

Great looking bird Jan, I wish I had the opportunity to fly it, unfortunally United did not have props when I started flying for them.
