Hoisting a CL‐215 water bomber - Ice Pilots NWT S04E08 - Go Xplorer

Buffalo has to get a CL‐215 water bomber to buyers in Korea. So Justin and Cory fly the plane to Vancouver Harbour, where it will be hoisted onto a cargo ship sailing across the Pacific Ocean to its destination - a method of delivery no one has ever tried. Flight attendant David is fast‐tracked to a seat next to Joe on the DC-3 sked. But Joe’s been on the warpath, and is known for being hard on rookie co‐ pilots.

I’ve seen a lot of the competitive attitudes on the ramp and I completely agree with Joe on this subject. An aircraft ramp is no place to be competitive or have careless unsafe attitudes! It’s exactly what’s gotten people hurt and killed in the past.

Hang on to your hats boys

Float rafts would give them more clearance.

Looks to me like they didn't feather the props when they lashed it down to the deck of the ship. Is that right? Seems wrong to me. 8,000 km journey without feathered propellers?

[@CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

They would have to feather with engines running prior to loading. Its not that big a deal.
