I came across this video about the Electra. Obviously done before the fatal crashes that changed its fortunes.

Very neat video - thanks for sharing the link.

 

As someone who's watched a ton of Ice Pilots over the years, I've always been intrigued by the Electra.  I wish there was a better rendition of it in the various sim platforms!

Love it. P-3 Orion is my all time favourite aircraft!

I've been watching Ice Pilots too. And have not been very happy with the way they looked after the Electras. Left standing in sub zero temperatures months on end and then we need to use it tomorrow.

Lower down that contributor's list is also a fascinating programme about flying boats.
