I felt his pain. Not because I could relate in any way. But because I could feel it from every word he spoke. When he started tearing up talking about “sometimes your best isn’t good enough”, that was straight pain. My man didn’t put a scratch on one living life that day. But his injured bird had him in tears. That’s a true pilot, and human being all wrapped into one.

Wrong . I understand the sentiment but as a retired float plane driver I can tell you air crews are replaceable. It happens all the time. They build hours and want to fly for the big boys after they have made all their mistakes and gained experience at small outfits. It is the way of the North . Be a rampy for a season or two then get a sniff at being in the cockpit . Prove yourself and you are on your way all while working for less than minimum wage so you better love flying. Losing a aircrew to a tragedy is heartbreaking but even they are replaced but their memory lives on in the lives of their friends and loved ones forever.

I had tears in my eyes watching this. In the early '60's, at 13 years old, the Electra was the first plane I had ever flown in and had a number of round trip flights in them from LA to Oakland. That was when I decided I wanted to learn to fly. Although I never got to fly an Electra, I did fly for over 20 years including the largest plane being a C-47. This plane was actually Donald Douglasses' personal plane that in 1946 he had it pulled off the C-47 line and converted it to use as his personal plane. Great memories.

I was technical ground crew - structural technician in the Israeli Air Force. In D-Check (heavy maintenance depot) the jets were sometimes litrally dissmantled to bits. Engines removed, wings and horizontal stabalizers dissconnected, all avionics removed, no canopy, sometimes stripped bare of all paint. To the untrained eye, not much left to look at. Pilots almost never ever went anywhere near the D-Check hangers, I was told pilots didn't feel comfortable seeing their jets in bits and pieces. Planes can be repaired and even rebuilt. Air crew are not replacable.

Watching this brought back memories, and the emotions too, of my time in Alaska during the 60s where we worked in a similar environment, and especially our gear up landing in a C-130. We saved everything but some skin. These events all start on a normal day, and then usually go downhill. In the USAF we weren't hampered by the fiscal restraints of Buffalo but the emotions were no less real. You guys are a rare breed and have my undying admiration for taking on projects that the big guys just sniff at and ignore. The inherent dangers of working with old equipment in dangerous conditions is scary but, you do it anyway because it invariably involves life issues and or survival of the company or both. You have my admiration.

Yep, that was how I was taught as well. There was rubber on one of the doors, so it was obviously struck as the gear was retracting, but if the wheel hadn't been spinning the door may not have been dragged into the tyre causing it to deform and jam the wheel in the well. Maybe a bit of a maintenance issue that the door could hit the tyre in the first place, but I think also a pilot training oversight.

@@davidmerullo551 The Electra does have nosewheel rub strips to stop the tires spinning but if you tap the brakes on on a big set of tires (which are heavier than heck) the tires often turn on the wheel - especially in the cold. With a tubed tire the valve stem gets cut off eventually and with a tubeless tire it can break the bead and cause a flat, so they just spin until they stop by themselves. Some airplanes require tapping the brakes (the F4U Corsair is one of them) because the tires just barely fit in the wheel wells, but generally bigger airplanes (because of the mass of the tires) don't. The C-130 is the same way.

I was a P-3A, B and C Orion Instructor Flight engineer in the US Navy for 14 years. The Electra is basically the civilian version of the Orion. I used to fly a P-3C that had done a right MLG failure to deploy landing. The Navy fixed the plane, but no matter what we did to it, it always flew 3° right wing down. I'm retired from the Navy now and I do miss the flying.

When in the ANG in California after being a crew chief engine run qualified in the USAF on C-141A's 1965-1968. I believe that I was the only taxi and runup qualified crew chief in the ANG or USAF on C-130E's. Even the Navy crew chiefs had to have a flight crew do that when we moved to the Navy air station at Mugu . At Van Nuys CA ANG we had a full simulator to qualify on. I was the only crew chief to qualify because no one else wanted the responsibility. Taxing the C-130 was a blast and I could trim the engines on my airplane when we went to the fence ( the fence deflects the prop blast) and balance the engine prop combination with the engine shop guys to get the most out of the airplane. C-130E 64-1799 a antique by todays standard. Now retired and still miss those days. Now, they don't let enlisted to do that anymore. Such a shame there are a lot of smart people in the USAF/ Navy/Army that could qualify to do that. It is and was so much fun taxiing that plane. Because of that got a lot of trips out of the US.

@@emergencylowmaneuvering7350 Actually, if you know the airplane, they did it exactly right. The flaps were down of course because of the huge difference that it makes in the touchdown speed of an Electra and the fact that you can't pull reverse on the engines until below 128 knots (doing so can internally disconnect the prop from the engine and in that scenario you'd want to be able to pull all the reverse you possibly could on your good engines to keep the airplane straight and on the runway for as long as possible). They killed the fuel and ignition to #3 & #4 on very short final but didn't feather the props. When a feathered prop (on an Electra, anyway) hits the ground leading edge first it's very strong and will often tear the prop & gearbox off the engine, or sometimes even the engine itself out of the nacelle. When these props hit still in the flight range they fold back fairly readily which limits the damage. The way that the crew dealt with it is exactly the way that it's written in the AFM. The airplane survived and flew again - I flew it yesterday.

I don't get why they start taking snow off the electra in the hangar. The melting snow is going to make the floor slippery so why not get rid of the snow before towing it into the hangar.

I am fascinated by this episode. Did they actually have a camera crew onboard (and at base) for this flight? If not, the parts that were re-enacted were very well done! The Electra is one of my favorite birds, I worked on the P-3 variant in the USN for a couple of years.

I truly believe they did have a crew there for it. The fact they don’t operate a large number of aircraft at the same time means the camera crew was always on one of the only Buffalo flights in the air at any given time.

It all is from the TV show Ice Pilots. Camera crew's always on most of the flights and in the hanger.

That took skill and balls of iron to land that thing, Ray was worried about the plane more than anything. Shows a little bit of how dedicated to flying he is.

Would like to know if they can hit the brakes to stop the wheels from spinning on gear up?? I love their videos. Real heroes of the sky.

The pilots yes, the boss, no. The mechanics should never have been pushed to get that plane in the air in such a short period of time. Especially after the mechanics forgot to tighten something, the entire job should have been gone over with a fine toothed comb to see what else may have been missed. You can't rush aviation, that's how people get killed.
