There used to be a great video on Youtube of a Reeve Electra, firstly from outside starting engines on the ramp at Anchorage, then from inside with water streaming off during takeoff, and finally an impressive curved approach into Port Heiden, down the Aleutians, a more desolate place it is difficult to imagine. Anyone remember it ?
