chuck is a legend !!!

The lovely sound of those Pratt & Whitneys 1830s LOVE IT-MISS IT!

[@documax123]

There's absolutely nothing 'auto pilot' about these guys and their work. They're amazing.

PBY Catalina? *I'M HERE*

[@nikolatesla5553]

I always loved the PBY.

[@stephenrickstrew7237]

The Catalina is one of the most unsung heroes of WW2

I love those fuselage windows. There's one in the UK... but they wouldn't sell for millions.. there a video on KZbin about it getting stuck in a loch

[@headph0nez_k1d94]

It’s an ausome aeroplane, I dream to fly it one day. If there is still any left by then

[@TotallyDapper]

The Cat is such an amazing aircraft, I would love to fly one. I'm glad some are still flying even today.

[@stevetadlock5223]

My Grandfather built these at Consolidated in San Diego during the 30's & 40's

[@peanutbutterisfu]

It’s surprising they have been able to fly these 80-90 year old air frames for commercial use this long specially in the conditions they have up north and not for nothing the amount of extra work they have to do just to start them up in the morning making sure the engines are warm. The extreme cold then hot I’m surprised they don’t crack cylinders once a week on these old radial engines. These engines were designed almost 100 years ago. Literally flying around antiques.

[@normansilver905]

In 1966-70 a PBY Super Cat was stationed at the Ramona Air Attack Base under contract to the US Forest Service. It served with distinction.

[@pwrplnt1975]

Gawd, I love those PBYs! It's a serious SHAME that Joe didn't take care of this vintage aircraft a bit better! At the end of the day, the company is Joe's responsibility but, he blames everyone else but himself. Good for Chuck!! It seems everyone at Buffalo smokes, you'd think they'd learn...

[@tilethio]

First time to hear about Buffalo airlines and found this film very lavish. Those guys deserve a credit as a living museum and keep those aged planes operational. At Buffalo everything is f$%ed and it seems they even use that word in their financial statements for the government. Loved Chuck the master mechanic 😆.

[@billchapel5483]

My question is why cant they put a tent over the engin their working on with lights, and some heat when heir out on the tarmac working on a engin?

Goodonya Chuck, there's more to life than the BS at Buffalo. It's the old Gambler story....."know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em & get the hell outta Dodge". He won't be back!

[@umute1653]

Tbh ik even today they still use the same planes but imagnie their fleet consistent of long range widebody jets

[@ericlakota1847]

Working on older air planes can actually be alot less frustrating without all the fly by wire of corse alot of time the new stuff tells you what is wrong

[@luisv7117]

I quit my job too the owner came in the other day shutting down the ACs when I ask why he said only to be turned when we need it, and it was90 outside with high humidity.

[@northernlandsgaming3268]

I wonder why he doesn't send one or two of the DC-3s to that outfit, that converts them to turbo-prop?

[@MrTheblackopsdude]

This episode of Ice Pilots NWT was recorded in 2010. Buffalo Joe's son Mikey has a video discussing turbine DC-3s on his channel. The video is called "Turbine DC-3 vs. Regular DC-3"

[@robertbruner7429]

When landing and they call out "90-94" are they calling speed?

[@tilethio]

They are reading the altitued. I belive it has two purposes. 1, it signifies the pilot or copilot is monitoring the decent. Second it is an instrument check.

The PBY hadn't been flown for like a dozen years, and Joe tells the buyer that it's in perfect condition! DUMB.

[@TranscendianIntendor]

Watching the Electra you see it trailing smoke. Watching the DC-4 there is much less. JP4 or AvJet that has Prist premixed is not burned cleanly from the Electra. Aviation is at the top of all the technologies. I heard the fuel mentioned. I've spoken to an airport manager and he knows there are new fuels available. Still for this reason or that the use of these new fuels is prohibited. This is one of the reasons I work at building Transcendia the nation of airports. Transcendian is my channel where I publish works of art I've made. Well my idea was to make profitable movies to finance those things necessary to do. Oh and at 50 I got married and have been married since.

Why would an aircraft mechanic stay at that level of job for so many years. If he is a good mechanic he should be at this point in his life be making big bucks and working for a huge airline
