Western Airlines flew passengers with this Electra (N9744C) from February 1961 until the end of 1968 when it was converted to a freighter. Next with Reeve Aleutian Airways September 1970 - September 2002, although the airline ceased flying in 2000. For Atlantic Airways the registration G-LOFH was allocated but never used. Registered N4HG to a trust company, the engines were used by the airline on other Electras. Stored at Coventry, it was made flyable and sold to Buffalo Airways in 2011 to become C-FIJV. Stored at Red Deer still in RAA colors, it has provided parts for their flyable L-188s.

Unloading after our return from Saint Paul AK with Captains Gary Lintner and Wayne Russel. Gary was the F/O on the company's L-188 Electra N1968R involved in a major, and well documented, emergency in Jun 83. You can find it on YouTube.

Saint Paul Island is the largest of the Pribilof Islands, a group of four Alaskan volcanic islands located in the Bering Sea between the USA and Russia. Whilst in Anchorage a couple of friends and I decided it would be nice to go for a ride on an L-188 Electra. Reeve arranged for us to fly to St Paul and back. At the time St Paul had a gravel runway and I had the cockpit J/S for landing. The Station Manager took us for a quick ride to see walruses and sea lions in their wild habitat. Flight times were 2:14 and 2:30. Back in ANC the frame's total time was logged as 41411 hours.

Sold in the UK as G-LOFH in 2002
