Coming Home - Ice Pilots NWT S03E13 - Go Xplorer

Rookie waterbomber pilot Scott gets his first taste of action when Buffalo responds to an emergency callout to fight fires in Alberta. Mikey and Rod think they hit the jackpot when they buy a million dollar firefighting plane on eBay at a bargain price. Joe marks his 50 years of flying by returning to the place he grew up in his historic Norseman. And Arnie shows up in Yellowknife to cheer on daughter Caitlin in a cancer fundraiser.

RIP Arnie, Kelly & Jimmy

Joe is from another generation and believe me it was a wonderful time . Men were men and women were women. People worked hard and shared with others , even opened the car door for your dates . Citizens loved their countries and could have their kids safe to be outside with friends even in the cities . Now it’s all about me !!!!! We taught to trust people and friends in our youth maybe friends for life . Now we tell our children to not trust anyone, worry about Number 1 , and old people don’t know anything . Very sad

Absolutely right. Tragic. I'm 78 and have lived through this awful transition and there is very little to like about the new 'norm'. Indeed I have a very good friend of age 36 and he is very much of the opinion that I grew up in a much better era. He's right !!!

As well as the material is antiquated, so is the type of management which mostly is “ manage by fear/intimidation “

When men were men and women appreciated it.

Fascinating-keep flying, Joe. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 🛩👍😁🇦🇺🦘 Great to be able to watch these episodes at will, unlike waiting for a series on TV.

[@QuantumStellar]

ebay....nothing but the best for these pilots!

Bae146 waterbomber. Jet cheaper to operate than Turbo

[@documax123]

The scoop itself has to be so dangerous.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

What's the latest on the FOX MOTH? Sure would like to see an update.

Good old days when CA$ was above US$.

[@RRRIBEYE]

I thought Mikey said they won for $445k American and that was $434k CA....?

[@gs98999]

@@RRRIBEYE they paid less in Canadian $ which means American $ was worth less. If you went to Bank back then and tried to buy $100 cad you would have to give them over $100 usd meaning usd was under cad in value .

Can't see these water bombers having much effect on fire control.

[@davidsquire2107]

They do the most good of all methods of fighting wild fires.
