I am also an EAL alumnae, '84-'89, March 6th to be exact. I'm surprised Lockheed didn't have at least some hydraulics powered by engine driven pumps. The BOSFO had a number of ex-Electra pilots who loved it to a man, especially during slowdowns and flying the Shuttle VFR. Did the Electra have "system" trips and where to, if they did.
