This week on Ice Pilots, Buffalo Joe is on thin ice when he races a classic snow plane that time forgot. The water bomber crew are out of their comfort zone in the sweltering weather on the journey across the globe, and a rookie gets his first taste of danger in some heavy fog.

Nice to see Joe smile and have fun with other people who haven't seen a snowplane

[@bushranger51]

Yeah, he's like a big kid in a candy store, just shows, away from the office there's a teddy bear under all that gruff.

[@trespire]

That was good to see Joe have such fun. The first copilot in the 46 stuck a perfect landing @28: , it's a beautiful thing when man and machine are in harmony.

[@handymandev03]

That's was a good episode. But man old Joe forgetting to check the fuel 🤣🤣 rookie mistake Joe.

[@richardr777]

Awesome guys!

[@Michael-rk8cl]

Super Joe .... Greetings from SA

It's a fuge snowplane I have several snowplanes out of the early snow transport systems of Yellowstone and grand Teton National Parks

[@robertkbrooks951]

I agree, seeing Joe Smile is Great. I use to have a 6 cyl Aircraft engine powered Everglades Fan boat. Was a lot of fun. unfortunately a co-owner forgot to add oil and blew the Motor up. Bummer huh.

[@Diagi_Surround]

[@stephenpowell8750]

Mikey really needs to learn that it's an airline business and not just something for him to use just so he can make friends off of it.

[@maurices5259]

The aircraft shown at 16:04 is an Airspeed Oxford, not an Anson

[@roaklin]

At the junkyard you can see the tail of the Lockheed they rescued, guess they never got that memorial built.

[@rickunruh8132]

Interesting how it says Jacobs on the rocker covers on that "Wasp" engine.

[@gordonswenson2513]

At 1:19 isn't that the tail of the old airplane that they are going to use for a memorial? One of the planes that Joe flew early in his career?

[@nicks6657]

2:35 its got a truck steering wheel lol

Seeing the tremendous inefficiencies in countries outside the west makes me wonder how any of their economies operate.

[@thomasm1964]

Slowly.

[@xiaoxiagao1254]

Eastern Asia has more-than-decent economies. Beaurocracy, however, is bullshittingly slow in pretty much every nation

[@pickle4332]

What inefficiency did they show in this video? You'd still have to go to customs in the west...

[@thomasm1964]

@@pickle4332 My parents lived in northern Cyprus from when they retired until their deaths a few years ago so I have some second-hand experience of Turkish bureaucracy. The issue is not that Customs need to be cleared but that it is paper-based, takes days and weeks instead of hours, needs the physical presence of inspecting agents who may or may not turn up when promised, needs umpty-nine separate pieces of paper which you are only told you need as the process unfolds and so on. In this case, why did it take days to clear the aircraft? In western countries, most of the paperwork would have been completed ahead of time and electronically. Had a physical inspection been deemed necessary, a visit of an hour’s duration would have been sufficient to confirm what had been reported in advance. That, however, is not the Turkish way. Very naive of you to assume that, just because a process is necessary, it is THEREFORE done well and on a timely basis.

[@thomasm1964]

@@xiaoxiagao1254 Turkey is not in Eastern Asia. It bridges Europe and Asia. It currently has a rather fragile economy.

Stop lying. It has a Jacobs with is about 275 hp not a 450 HP! Get your facts straight. You almost as bad as the US Government!

[@straybullitt]

They thought that us aviation enthusiasts wouldn't notice. 🤣 We have a keen eye television producers! 🧐 You can't fool us!

[@Mrwoodywoodpecker22]

if that snow plane doesn’t go in the air it’s not a plane at all dumb name for that if you ask me

[@thomasm1964]

There is a reason an AEROplane is so called. It planes through the air. This thing planes through the snow. In bad weather, cars have been known to AQUAplane. Speedboats also AQUAplane.

[@donnawentz2221]

It’s airplane engine and propeller system is why it’s named that.

[@LauRoot892]

@@thomasm1964 👋

[@matthewhartley8756]

Learn to say but haven't plain engine on a car is not a plane it doesn't have wings it doesn't fly so it is a car

[@donnawentz2221]

They call it that because of it’s airplane engine and plane propeller system.
