EVANSB: Actually, the Electra was never grounded. It was slowed down to DC-6/Connie speeds instead until the flutter problem was identified and repaired. Reason for the non-grounding was that there was an airline, PSA, who had only Electras in their fleet and a grounding would have put them out of business.
