Lockheed 188c
Manufacturer: LOCKHEED
The Lockheed L‑188 Electra is a four‑engine turboprop airliner built by Lockheed in the United States. First flown in 1957, it was the first large turboprop airliner produced in the U.S. Its high power‑to‑weight ratio, large propellers, short wings and Fowler flaps gave it excellent short‑field performance, rivaling many jet transports even today.
