Electras

[training wheels]

I know this is gonna sound weird, but I actually have a burning desire to fly (as a pax) one of these classics. Are there any operators who still fly them?

Training wheels, I think you're out of luck.

Last June I was fortunate to fly Anchorage - Port Heiden - Sand Point - Anchorage in a Reeve Aleutian Electra (Combi). Great flights and great scenery. In-flight catering was by Subway Sandwiches!

Sad to say that RAA has since ceased ops. and I believe they were the last pax. operator of the L.188.

Air Canada has a lovingly restored Electra (might be a Super, not sure) that they bring out for occasional charity flight. For the last few years, every June they'd park it at Toronto City Centre (CYTZ) and operate fly-bys of Niagara Falls, forget the price but it was less than $100. If you send me an email I can drop you a line when the next one is announced.

Squawk, TCC is a straight L10A. Love to be able to get a ride in it. Used to fly it in 1966-67 when it was operated by Northern Wings.

Atlantic airlines at Coventry had some last time I looked, but all in freight configuration probably.

Don't know of a web site, but as they are the airport operator, it should be easy to make contact.

Try Atlantic Airlines at Coventry,UK. They have about half a dozen freighters and can normally be persuaded to allow jump seat pax if approached properly.
