Thanks!

If there was no COVID19 going on, you could have come up to Abbotsford to enjoy our air tankers. Right now spring training is going on, and I am lucky to live in Abbotsford to see them takeoff, do a flyby upon return, and then land.

Awesome footage of that slurry bomber! Love the old Electra! Wish Lockheed would get back in the commercial aircraft business

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Wouldn't that be nice

[@PHXPlanespotter]

@@VMCAviationVideos indeed! They were way ahead of their time with the L-1011!

@@VMCAviationVideos yeah same here! I flew on a bunch of them with old TWA when I was a kid.

I have a few photo of the 482 Lockheed L-188 Electra taken in several Pacific islands in the 1970's.

Great footage of those Electras and CV580s! It's been years since I last saw an Air Spray Electra, since the past few years I've visited YYF they weren't there. Also, that clip at 10:00 was incredible!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

We usually have two Conair Convair 580's here in Penticton and the Electras show up if there is a fire nearby.

great video mate

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks bud!

[@DmitriyTitovDT]

Great video!!!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks❗️

[@gckshea]

The L-188 is a FANTASTIC craft. I remember as a kid seeing them all the time out of MIA. Eastern Airlines flew them to the Bahamas and other Caribbean islands.
Is Conair tail #47 a Convair a CV-580? Another fantastic plane!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Yes, tail #47 is a Convair 580. I think Canada has the most Electra's that are still actively flying.
