Canadian Airline Delivers Turkey's First Water Bombers

Over the North Atlantic, Arnie, Justin and Cory press on to Turkey, even though they have only half of the spare parts in their plane. But there are some serious volcanoes and busy Mediterranean air traffic ahead.

Buffalo Airways is an airline based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. They mainly fly WWII-era piston powered propeller planes in minus 40 degrees and land on tiny strips of tarmac in the tundra.

Haha! This series is so addictive... hype or not, everything is on the line when one of these birds gets a dent. We are witness to the end of an era... the sun is setting on these flying relics. One day these young pilots will have a great story to tell their grandchildren, a story that very few old geezers will have to tell. We are fortunate that cameras were there to record the last of the working tall ships, some of that can be found right here on YouTube... these old planes will soon take their place alongside them in the grand adventures of yesteryear.

I can't imagine a mining operation complaining about a damaged wing tip, when I was a flight engineer on DC-6's hauling fuel into mines inside Alaska, those guys were just happy to have the service, if you look real close at 42:46 the propeller on the number #3 engine on the DC-4 which is landing is feathered, one of the benefits of a four engine aircraft.

Ive just binged watched a few of these episodes and i seem to be watching them in an odd fashion. I started watching one as a recommendation, got hooked, and tried to watch them in the order that they appear in their playlist but when it comes to the end and it previews the next episode I've already watched it. These episodes of Ice Pilots NWT need numbering so we can watch them in the order that they were filmed. Good series

FINALLY!!!! I've been waiting for this for weeks now! Beeteedubs, used to watch Ice Road Truckers all the time.

Felt like I had to wait a century for this video.

This is now 1 episode skipped from the pevious water bomber episode. cause they posted a episode from the wrong season last time. For anyone wondering

[russellwilliams]

Compare Joe's office to his son Mikey's. Just wow. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their office. There is nothing in Mikey's office and is spotless clean, but is modern with a window and a huge desk, while Joe's office has work stuff everywhere, no scenic view and his desk looks like it is actually used.

Huge over-reaction about a dented wing tip.

What sort of repair is that @10:44. We don't use screws to install skin pannels. You use solid rivits, or pop-nite in blind spots. Airframe maintenance isn't a weekend hobby !

Devon it's a pretty good pilot I need to pretty well flying these old aeroplanes

[bubbatheking]

Demanding industry. Good leadership makes a difference!

The other Water Bomber hit the tarmac. Erm, normally landing gear doesn't make sparks. Looks like something might be amiss.
