“The next time I rotate I’ll yell ROTISSERIE” ! 😂

[@dougkathydavies3024]

The stories about the history of WZS are absolutely amazing. Just imagine what that plane has seen. Great job putting all of that info in the video. And thanks to Chris for digging all of it up.

[@davidharris2519]

It is always a pleasure to listen to your dad

[@rogerblackwood8815]

I was going to post something very similar, happy new year to all plane savers and aviators!🥂

[@SigisTravelVideos]

Yes, I agree. What a great Canadian aviation buff!

[@cf6282]

His confidence in restoring the Fox Moth is amazing. Fuselage is a lot more than a touch up. So sad the wings are burnt. But I guess with the correct drawings they can make brand new ones. Just like they make new ones for the Fokker. Looking forward to see it all being done.

[@owensparks5013]

"Proud to work around these aircraft." Top bloke Mikey, great attitude and so glad someone with some understanding and respect is today's custodian of these machines 👍

[@tinytruckers]

What a source and Sense of pride you must have, to have not only preserved these airplanes but to have their history and stories come to light,and knowing what incredible roles some of them have played. To still have them flying and preserved today for us all to share love appriciate and learn from is awesome. I love the stories attached to these airplanes. I’d love to see a Buffalo documentary with the history and stories of all your old airplanes, the 3,4,46 all of those vintage birds. I wish Arnie was here to share all this. This is so cool!

[@Matt-bj6cy]

Mikey , please keep those history stories coming about your planes. Wow so interesting. Your plane has had a lifetime of saving people, rescues, assist. Just knowing it's still flying and we'll taken care of and especially loved by you as your favorite is rewarding in itself. Thanks for all your hard work, editing, research, and all.... We love you here in Switzerland

[@gjswilson]

I liked the way you photo shopped the the buffalo livery onto the WWII photo. Really gives a sense of continuity that these old planes give us. Well done Mikey

[@davef.2811]

Cool that you found the pic of WZS with the camp survivors, performing probably her most important mission to date.

[@stretch383]

Mikey, loved he overlay at the end, same plane many sets of clothes. Keep up the good work as you are keeping history documented.

[@damienmccormack2789]

Great history there Mikey. Good to see a bit of progress on the planes but I think the history side of it is just as interesting and makes the aircraft worth much more than money. You can't buy history, It's written and once gone is gone forever. Thanks mate

[@drenk7]

Wow an amazing history Buffalos DC-3 s have had. Thank you to Joe for explaining what happened to the Fox Moths wings. Come on viewers help Joe find another set.

[@waynep343]

Fox and Buffalo.. great connection mikey..

[@quadsinthemudd]

Thanks Mikey. Great stories. These were all made possible because you created a community here on KZbin and Facebook that information can be shared.

[@MikeyMcBryan]

Thanks bud

[@tylerhayes4879]

Your dad is a saint of aviation!!! So interesting to listen to him,I’m so glad he likes to tell his story’s

[@mileshigh1321]

Nice job on morphing all the pictures of WZS together! That final picture should be on a calendar or post card! What a history she has! More proof of an amazing plane!

[@rollsmerlin1659]

wow Great historic photo memories !! good job on the special FX blending ... cheers !

[@RodRosenberg]

Love what you did with the photos!

[@cf6282]

Rod Rosenberg Takes a while to get the right angle. Very nicely done.

[@IconicSpitters]

They're not photos ... theyr'e PITCHERS ;) :)

[@duanefey]

Mikey, I love your appreciation of history. You guys are the best!

[@seanmanness1351]

Thank you WZS and all of your partner's. Thank you the everyone who makes it happen. Thank you Buffalo for continuing to not only maintain and fly them, but thank you so very much for letting us all into your lives to see the magic happen!🤙🤙🤙

[@LDSloan]

Lovin' the history lessons as this kind of info comes to light about these faithful old birds. Thanks for sharing Mikey.

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

It may be made of aluminum but is one hall of a history magnet. Play safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

[@paulyoung181]

Interesting to listen to your dad but the back story on GWZS was the star of this episode oh and Stella too!

[@freespiritaviation6221]

The quality of these videos always amaze me

[@frankjames7247]

What an amazing set of photographs in particular WZS such an interesting history and it is still flying and serving the community.

[@skykingagi]

Another great episode, Mikey! Thank your dad for sharing that information, I know he has forgotten more about aviation than most people know.

[@angelreading5098]

I can see that Joe is immersed in his Fox Moth project and that converted jig will really assist in getting down to the detail work in the near future,what a great pity about those wings but all is not lost because Tiger Moth wings have been converted in the past for the folding wing brackets on the DH.83C,a bit of work to the main lugs and a study of the respective drawings will show how it is done,suggest that you contact Croydon Aviation at Mandeville in New Zealand who have restored a few Fox Moth's and will be able to assist in many ways.

[@stevehaire6181]

Hi Mikey. Thanks for the efforts of you and your crew of Plane Savers! I’ve got a bit of history saving and flying an old bird too but that’s for another day. It’s probably fair to say that many of us share some DC3 history if we look for it. While updating my Ancestry on the web I came across a link between me and CF-TDJ that’s kinda cool. It seems that TDJ was Trans Canada Airline’s first DC3. On September 29th 1946 CF-TDJ left Malton bound for LaGuardia NY with my Mom and Dad on board... likely for their honeymoon to Florida. At the helm, according to the US Entry Declaration of Commander found on Ancestry, was another DC3 legend, Captain Carl Mallard. 😊

[@MikeyMcBryan]

Very cool!!! :)

[@musoseven8218]

Mikey what you guys are doing is awesome! My dad used to take me to a workshop like that, they specialized in DHs too. We were lucky enough, back then, to meet some of the pioneers that flew them - amazing aircraft and amazing pilots. Love what you did with the DC3 photos. You touch on something re photos. Photos - even black and white ones - if reliably dated/datable - will tell you exactly how an aircraft looked and was kitted out at a given date/time. Original plans, design drawings etc are useful but quite often they're merely a statement of intent (perhaps only relating to a prototype) and not always the same details/construction as production aircraft turned out in the end. We live very near several old RAF bases that catered for the Parachute Regiment AND the 101st Airborne, 'The Screaming Eagles', Dakotas, Horsa Gliders etc were stationed all around these parts. We love DC3/Dekotas. There's wood carvings, stained glass church windows etc with them depicted and venerated hereabouts. Keep up the good work!

[@vincentremazeilles504]

Hello, Rotisserie is (was) a kind a restaurant where you can eat roasted meat. The meat get roasted on a fireplace. The rotating device which holds the meat is called a "tournebroche" ! :) This kind of restaurant has vanished in France. Can't wait to see the "moth" and the Fokker flying again. Happy 2020 !

[@symontabbenor2186]

Stunning history of your DC3. I would love to sit down and have a long covnersation with her, the stories he could tell us.

[@cayrick]

Just an observation Mikey. You are an accomplished vlogger. You take what many of us would consider a boring life in a mundane town like Yellowknife, which most of us have never been to and most don't want to visit, and turned into something interesting and exciting. You have taken all these assorted characters around you, breathed new life into them and made them bigger than life; folks like Benjamin, William, Stella, your dad and brother, the cat and dog, and never to be forgotten Chuck. These creations are people you would love to know and hang out with. I am totally addicted to your "Plane Savers" show. I literally can't wait for the next episode. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if you re-directed your God given talents and energy to scripting and directing Porn flicks. Then a lot of your audience would be suffering from serious insomnia.

[@MikeyMcBryan]

Hahaha. Interesting and in-depth comment!!! Thank you Cayrick!!

[@eddym5684]

I love y'all sooo much. Thank you for truly saving these planes from windsor Ontario Canada. Good to see joe

[@brianpetrow7218]

Thanks for doing what you guys do Mikey and all of Buffalo/Plane Savers. The history is incredible that comes from your efforts....

[@bridgetjagusch8918]

I'm liking this "rotisserie" contraption. Can't say I've ever seen one... But love the vintage photo of the DC3. Doesn't get better than that.....

[@DAVIDBrown-zp8sz]

This one really strikes to the heart ! One of your best !

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Great video, Mikey. Can you imagine all the pilots that flew your planes .

[@MrGritteeth]

I am riveted to all your stories. Keep them coming . I look forward to them every day.

[@mischef18]

Awesome episode bro with some great history of a DC 3 your dad owns. That Fox Moth is sure gunn'a get a lot of love, well the DR1 will of coarse too. All the best to you all helpers of the restoration projects going on

[@briancurran9729]

One of your best videos. Detroit, USA

[@konstanzaviation2275]

Please! When WZS is taken out of service, don't scrap it but give it to a museum instead! The history is amazing!

[@yetithruhiker9230]

Maybe it will just fly forever, outlasting all of us.

[@donmeyer1621]

What a great episode Mikey!!! Cannot wait to see this awesome grand lady!! I know why she is your fav!! Your dad is getting better than ever explaining things!! Say hi to the crew and keep doing what you do Mikey McBryan!!!

[@1BigBen]

4:55 same goes for the VW Beetle it is good in the snow, but damn it was cold

[@yjwrangler7819]

I really liked how you pieced the pictures together at the end Mikey. What a bird!

[@halepauhana153]

Great story about WZS, love those old photos and the history!

[@richschindler8731]

It’s amazing the history that these aircraft hold. This is why we must encourage the younger generations to study and restore them in order to keep history alive.

[@subwofer2]

VERY TOUCHING TRIBUTE! Really appreciated your efforts in creating the meshing images to WZS!

[@JustinBuckley-Given2Fly]

Great start to a new year of content Mikey! Can't wait to see the rebuilds take shape.

[@willemp6432]

Very cool stuff Mikey.Thanx.I wish you and your family, Stella and them boys a very happy new year....!

[@1shARyn3]

I LOVE that! Instead of yelling "CLEAR" before engaging the ignition, yell, "ROTISSERIE"!

[@paulrourke4785]

Absolutely Brilliant the history of WZS would not be known by the younger generations without your input to History!!

[@FusionMonkey847]

So if you put a Spitfire on a rotisserie, would you say it's a Spit on a spit??!!

[@jamesglenn2006]

I love Plane Savers history lessons. Thanks Mikey Those were some really cool photos.

[@scottrau2975]

Great episode! Love the WZS history.

[@kbjerke]

Awesome history of WZS, Mikey! Thank you and Happy New year to all at Buffalo!!

[@christopherescott6787]

Buffalo IS the authority on historic aircraft STILL in use.

[@b.p.7153]

Excellent job overlaying the Buffalo DC-3 over the old images!

[@avgjoeavglife]

Nice to see you back Plane Savers!

[@alexbrigden4587]

Those Buffalo are tough as nails. Something like Joe is :). Great wildlife shots. Love to see more once in a while. Once upon a time a friend of mine said to me "Man built it, Man can fix it". Keep fixing guys and gals.

[@dalecomer5951]

Maybe Joe should hire a wooden canoe restoration specialist to work on the Fox Moth fuselage.

[@fredericrike5974]

The two biggest world game changers were electricity and aviation- both kick off at nearly the end of the 19th century. Neither have reached their full evolution- more surprises are yet to be seen. Hope any crews or personnel borrowed to Australia are hale and sound! Happy New Year!

[@mistermcd]

Crispy Buffalo Moth wings mmmmm :)

[@markhayes100]

Plane Saversssss! Excellent, I was getting withdrawals. C46 enhancing the audio, buffalo in the wild, wisdom from Joe, cool WZS history, great episode Mikey. You know you’re never getting Benjamin back, right? 😁

[@2007MXV]

Way to go WZS! Awesome stories Mikey! Thank you!!

[@richardwillett]

Mikey C-47's had little pop out glass in the passenger windows. That was for riflemen to shoot at enemy aircraft with! No joke!

[@johnbruckner4681]

Loved the intro , especially "buffalo's " ! Well done!

[@jkentsan]

Good informative episode, Mikey. Rotisserie = grilling = eating, I dig it. lol

Great stuff Mikey. Thanks to you and all the gang. And of course Joe.

😭😭😭😭 I want to hug that plane!

[@donmeyer1621]

Me three!!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

What a great story, Mikey!! Amazing pictures! What a history! 😎 Can't wait to see how happy your dad will be once that Foxmoth takes its first flight! Will be a great thing to see. Looks like your red foxes up there are eating just as well as the ones we have down here, lol. Nice fur on that guy. He's a healthy one! Great shots of the buffalo, too.👍🍻

[@johnkamm8886]

Great video, yet again, and super plane history lesson too

Indeed it is, I had to go back and pause vid to see it. would love to find out more about that.

@@musoseven8218 Thanks Bud, yeah it's crazy over here at the moment, there is literally fires in every State/Territory all over the country! I'll share a short video to the Plane Savers Facebook group of a tiny part of the devastation. It got to 41 Degrees where I was working today and was still 39 when I got home at 8:30pm but thankfully a cooler change is coming through at the moment so the temps are down to a pleasant 29 degrees ha ha.

Best wishes for you all in Oz... you must be running low on shrimp for that Barbie.. sorry, I really DO feel for you guys! Hoping you get a break soon!!!

[@shadowraith1]

Interesting aviation history. Always enjoy a good story.👍🛩🛩🛩👍

[@johnsebar7807]

Hi Mikey: just going through some of your past video's. This aircraft has major historical significance. Is there any other in the world that is even close and still flying today. Your photos clinch it. At some point it will need to be in a museum with photos and other documentation. Sort of like the DC3 as a wind vane in Yellowknife airport. That is impressive. Great photo editing especially with the last one.

[@davidbutterfield2949]

Amazing history, thanks Mikey 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@froggyziffle]

Great DC3 info. Looks like the DR1 and Foxmoth will both take a lot of restoration. There is a commercial bison farm right up the road here. Buffalo burgers, yum!

[@edwinoudewesselink8313]

Lovely episode with great old pictures.

[@johntripp5159]

Good one this time. I'm so jealous; you have bison, all we have is snow and plenty of it.

[@Gav67]

Fantastic history to that plane

[@chriselliott5480]

Good research Chris in North Bay

[@MrJeep75]

Pretty cool history with your dc-3 it should be restored back to original

[@paulamann6570]

Hello I'm that old fart skydiver from San Diego. I use to jump out of a DC3 at Otay Lake in southeast San Diego, short dirt runway with a lake at the end for ditching. It had a polish door on it. {that's what we called it}. The door was on the right side. only one I have ever seen. I'll see if I can find a tale number.

[@dalecomer5951]

A DC-3 or a DC-2 for that matter could be ordered with a left side or right side passenger door or both. And, of course, with or without a "hamburger door." That's one reason the USAAC/USAAF had many different designations for a DC-2 or -3 since they bought small numbers before WWII in different configurations and impressed many civil airliners into service in the early part of the war. There was even a DC-2/-3 hybrid before the C-47 went into production.

[@paulamann6570]

@@dalecomer5951 definitely a DC-3

[@meduffer]

The history.... awesome!
