Lockheed L-188 Electra, registered N182H, flew for Overseas National Airways (ONA) as part of the American supplemental carrier's fleet of turboprop aircraft supporting charter passenger operations. ONA, founded in 1950, built much of its business around military and civilian charter contracts during the 1950s and 1960s before facing financial pressures that eventually led to the airline's September 1978 closure. As part of this historic fleet, N182H supported ONA's charter passenger operations during an era when supplemental carriers played a significant role in American commercial aviation alongside the regulated scheduled airlines.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed and built by Lockheed for American Airlines, the L-188 Electra first flew on December 6, 1957. The L-188 was the first turboprop airliner produced in the United States, with standard seating for 66 to 88 passengers. Powered by four Allison 501D-13 turboprops, the aircraft performed nearly as well as contemporary turbojets but cost less to operate. Unfortunately, two fatal accidents quickly eroded faith in the type and led to early cancelation of production. Electras were most infamously flown by the Argentine Navy, who used them to dispose of political prisoners over the Rio de La Plata. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
