Good Day. I loved every minute of this video. I have flown on these with American Airlines when I was a kid. My dad worked for American Airlines. Beautiful Airplane. Love the Sound. Thank You for presenting this flight and to the flight crew. Excellent. Beat Regards
Never flew in one, a bit past my time, but I did get to see one in action several times back in the very late 80's in Ecuador, operated by "TAME". It would appear maybe once a week on a route mostly covered by an F28 or 727.
Saw many American and Northwest Orient Electras arrive and depart from observation deck at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) in early 60s. Always recall the self-contained stairway folding out to enable deplaning (no jetways at that time). Electra had a distinctive high pitched whine engine sound wise. Those Allison engines were something else. Their profile when witnessed from the ground was equally distinctive. Only plane similar were Capital Airlines Vickers Viscounts. Both had turboprop engines. Viscounts were by Rolls Royce. Frequently saw Viscounts headed to Detroit Willow Run Airport (YIP) as well.
I may have seen this aircraft when it went into service with Western Airlines, if it was at LAX. I grew up in El Segundo, California. I loved those L-188's and all the derivatives afterwords.
I thought this was a logo for a famous television station that's popular worldwide TNT. Looked online it's a logistics rotation. I've been mesmerized about the accountability in this video. There always had been accountable details in flight videos but never have I saw blueprints and records in flight videos before. I was watching both a flight video and a documentary and it's a first class home made documentary all the way. What's your secret to this mind blowing cargo flight video? Did you use one of them Panavision cameras or something?@@sightsandsoundsofaviation
You can not use a narrow FMC on this Aircraft has to be wide looks like A combi FMC - someone correct me those who have been working on the Ramp - plus 2 baggage belts for the Lower cargo holds .
One of the most rugged and beautiful birds ever built!
Vielen Dank !
I love those Lockheed Electra 188. Flown on Air Florida in the mid 1970’s inter Florida route and those engines sound were music to my ears 👂

My mom flew on them as a stewardess for Eastern airlines. It was her favorite with the Connie a close second

Looks quite nice to fly during sunset/twilight hours

It sounds like a C-5B taking off in the background at 2:35.
I got everything about this flight video but what's with the TNT logo?
It was a rotation operated for TNT by Amerer

why does the pilot seem to be laughing the entire time...takeoff and landing. unprofessional.
Very "interesting" and very "professional" question.
You ask "why" but then make a judgement, even without an answer. Interesting.
Just a very happy guy
