Hey guys! My dad flew C-46s and C-47s during WWII in the Pacific. He thought me how to fly as a child and I was in the USAF for 20 years... Dad died in 1991. It's great to see these birds still flying... The memories of and with him abound! Thanks!!
I am from the Philippines. I enjoy watching Ice Pilots and I do watch on my dinner. Actually I am on other side of planet earth but thanks to this wonderful documentary series, I feel I am with them and all characters are my real friends. Great Work! Keep it up/ Thank you
This show is truly addicting to watch 😆😃
When is the new season gonna start because i cant wait to see it
It's to late for me...
I don’t watch tv or any series whatsoever but this….
The word is “addictive”.
@@thomasm1964 sorry my English is not good 😌
The best reality TV series to ever come out, this and flying wild Alaska. Even if you don't understand aviation, you can easily become invested in this series.

That was very sweet and I feel like a fitting way send out a veteran. I know I personally would have loved to know that this makeshift dust dispenser, and some on hands elbow freeze, sent me off of the plane that made me happy over beautiful scenery.
I just love Mikey the unsung hero.
The guy is the worst. He’s the stereotypical owners son. Does he fly? No. Can he work on planes? No. When they went to the UK to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Electras and parts not only did he not shadow his dad to learn anything he went out and got drunk. He also couldn’t be bothered to wear a pair of pants and maybe a collared shirt. Guy schedules flights. Look at his smirk about Jeremy getting his write up. I guarantee zero people see him as a boss at that company.
@@coolsidecool Ouch!
I so want to see more of this show
Hurry up please with new season
I LOVE this series! This series is the ONLY reason I subscribed to the channel. This is by far one of the bestest reality based TV series I've watched!
This show is Awesome , good job Wonder keep uploading 👍 from indonesia 🇮🇩
13:12 dam... now, werent things terrific before social media... What a great show
I really like this series! Rooting for the hardworking guys and gals.
My dad retired from Pratt and Whitney back in the 80s. Specialist for reciprocating engine and engineer
Joe and Mike has done a great job insuring the show is deadly accurate and properly narrated. I love it!
Keep the episodes coming😊👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant Programme & Joe really is a decent Man & Boss 👍
Ive always loved the look of the C46
This show is awesome.
Real people , old school Joe great show
Love this! Ceep it coming ❤😊
Buffalo is becoming familly, this is more engagi g than any tv series. So close to earth, I have lived in Alaska, some is so familar. Thank you keep going... Folllowing from West Africa, Ivory Coast
The guys did good for Robert's father. Salute. Wekk done.
Very moving way to honor his late Father...
It’s really nice that Buffalo agreed to do the ash drop. A fitting end for that guys dad.
**Avgas runs out**
*The Electra’s:* 🤪
Anyone know the name of the song at the end?
Edit: I found it. It's "Flying High Again" by Sloan.
According to the National Geographic Society, "the North Pole sits in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, on water that is almost always covered with ice."
Don't need for words etc., actions speak louder in words...
I love checking this program oooooooooot
I was a bit sad when Buffalo Air lost the ability to do passenger runs. I'd always hoped at some point to go up and take a ride on a DC-3 as well as see some of that part of the world. I know there are still some in parts of the world doing passenger flights, but the companies flying them don't exactly inspire confidence as far as maintenance.
Buck up little Camper. They still do charters so find some friends.
I always wanted to go on one as well
@@matthill1727 charters are different from passenger runs. Slow your horses man-child.
They straight up or that guy's dad's ashes into a flower pot attached to a funnel and a hose, I don't even know how to feel about that?
We still only fly prop planes into hurricanes.
thank goodness I never worked for a company like this its all shooting from the hip
well done mike for backing scott
MIKE AND JOE ROCK ! you know it guys : )) hope to meet you soon and get autographs, pleassse? you guys ever fly to Detroit? I would love to get signatures from all the top brass over there!? : )
Joe has recently passed away..
@@poolnoodle5412 no he hasn't. The airline is still going with Joe, Rod and Mikey.
Great...
Gord paid back all this loyalty when he left for another airline as soon as he qualified
I seen this one!🉑💯😄
Hello from Poland 🇵🇱!
i will halariously point out that this documentary/show repeatedly makes it sound like 737-200 combi's are ultra modern. its so funny because those planes are also rare, and also very old so, its an old airline with old (legendary planes) trying to make it sem like (other legendary old planes) are super modern. haha
)bro(why(do)You(write(like)that)
Dude they literally say that they are old warplanes all the time not some super modern aircraft 🤦♂️🤣
@@jsss3604 That will be the reason - they are going out of business.
@@istra70 Cool story bro but my comment was to the OP 🤟
Don't all GA aircraft still use avgas?
Time to do some turbine conversions.....
Can I ask why they don't parachute some of the goods from the plane rather then landing?
Because getting certified to do that would be too expensive.
@37:04 I bet that's not the first time he has felt his Dad on the back of his throat. Haha
Err H&S emptying Fuel into buckets, WTF . Never be able to do that in the UK Airports
You know, you have to realize the producers make drama to keep viewers, granted this is an interesting program it is not near as dire as they portray it. Frankly this show much like all shows like this are nothing more then drama induced daily life in the areas highlighted.
I thought 100LL was dyed blue, or is that only in the US?
Only in America for Taxation purposes
With the Avgas becomeinh more scarce soon they may have to ditch all there planes accept the Electria
Why is this series ending…. It’s nice and addictive to watch
Because Buffalo Air is not competitive with this vintage aircraft......They need to invest in modernisation of the fleet - or close the door.
@@istra70 as somone that loves these old aircraft and new aircraft. I don’t agree with u
@@Eh_Siala_productions Unfortunately commercial laws don't care about love and feelings....
@@istra70 They are still going strong today .... same aircraft
@@Northern_Farmer I have no doubt and they should preserve them and display them on airshows ......
but they are not economical .
That Lufty C-46 makes me feel old l wish it would return to LHR
Woo
The man it wasn't military send-off but was dc3 men sending off
Playing golf on the sand/dirt like that would suck.
As does golf on any surface.
The golden boy co pilot will just leave there once his hours are up .. hope Jo realises that
10:31 is he smoking in the cabin??
Why do you say that? All I see is a radio microphone near the pilots mouth. Perhaps you mistakenly assumed it was a pipe?
It's time to look for a new job, there has got to be work someplace in Alaska. TIME TO LEAVE!
Bawhahaha.. Go Tanya Harding on him.. Lol Scott..
Some of the ashes will stick to the duct tape adhesive side
Does Mickey fly?
Seriously the Canadian Gov have to ask these broken down outfit for transport options? I know outsourcing is the thing but really ? wow!
😁👍
Ice can be very dangerous
And cold too.
Hello
About time Joe got a Jet plane, writing has been on the wall for the old scrap heaps
The DC3 has an unlimited life span, they will still be flying when all current modern jets have been scrapped.
@@TalkieToaster. That's not really true. Yes all aircraft can fly indefinitely with repairs, but not profitably. A real killer of old planes is structural cracking and corrosion. It will happen inevitably, and it's very expensive to repair, so unless you can justify the cost of said repair over all other options the plane is sold.
@@TalkieToaster. I have my doubts. As much as i love the old war birds, they'll only be flying as long as oil companies keep producing Avgas.
@@killman369547 yeah this is very true.
ROFL...Joe thinks he gets to decide their mode of travel after they're gone! THE GREYHOUND WENT OUT OF BUSINESS YEARS AGO JOE
This was filmed back around 2006...
Greyhound is still in business. Has always been in business.
Turn up to work everyday and be like your aeroplane frying all sorts of weather you should be the same
Please make a normal wonder mayday disaster 🥺
I felt bad for the guy scattering his dads ashes
Me too. Cranky Joe couldn't even honor a Military pilot with dignity. If not for Mikey, I would have taken my father's ashes elsewhere!
@@denisebenedict6102 I think that guy was thinking the whole time “I wish I hadn’t done this” 😂
38:20 The guy said, "After doing this I feel calm and peaceful..."
So why do you feel bad???
@@billgatesleavingyamomshous8177 38:20 The guy said, "After doing this I feel calm and peaceful..."

"Do what i say or Foff"...for Joe is..."its up to him...its not up to me".. classic
That'd be cool to be born into something, makes it easier because you have someone under your wing literally in this case, but being born into the wealth, or parents with business or property or any inheritance, or a skill trade, profession, like if your moms a nurse , high chance daughter will too.... my dad is a car mechanic and hydraulic engineer, i do neither.
Yeah, and you could play lotto, invest (tsla)..
I thought the North Pole was under the ocean.
these episodes are probably decades old
@@PixelTrain1 Yes, Thank You! I thought they were probably old, although I did not know how old. Wonder is a great channel, though.
@potato salad Yes, but of course the title.... It really grabbed my attention until I found out.... Thanks!
They have a terrible management style. I do not get it why people would work for that airline.
At some point, Joe will be forced to decide whether he wants to be the curator of a flying museum or the CEO of an air transport company.
this family should defiantly do a DNA test...Mikey for sure is not Joe Son.
Buffalo caved bc of top down greed.
So now the fire planes have no gas? How selfish.
What buffalo hoarded was essentially a bucket full out of an Olympic size swimming pool so no the firefighting planes weren't short on fuel.
Its i good thing for Mike that dady has i compagnie because he could not work no where im sure at 1 millions por cent.mike has no brai.... at all.
I start to know y Joe likes the girl she isent crying all the time
One thing I don’t get
Your company is only as good as your people so treat them well
Joe needs to get that figured out
Stay on the job dude let him go to his other job and I don’t blame him do you don’t take junk off your supervisor or manager of the business Tuffet out young lady and he just down the road from here
need 31 30's
Arnie died 2012. Kelly death was in 2017!! Owner Joe died 2021
Dang
WRONG! Joe is ALIVE & WELL! Kindly get your facts RIGHT! For Arnie & Kelly, may their souls continue resting in power.
@@djtimwe joe died a few months ago
Joe is alive, the only thing you will find if you Google about his "death" is clickbait links to fake competitions!
@@markdavis2475 no. We read his obituary
“Golden Boy” Gord just conveniently forgot to tell his employer that he wasn’t interested in continuing his employment with the crew that paid for his training and testing. Typical behaviour of an entitled West Vancouver brat. Gets his captains testing completed…and then immediately quits to work elsewhere.
I'd say tgat as long as oil is pumping , then there wouldn't be any shortage of gas, av gas, methanol etc. Sounds like a dog and pinyin show to me.
Pity it's to American style over Drama on everything . It would be better to see the worker's not having to act 😒.
Buffalo airways is Canadian
Buy AVGas from the Russians ;-)
Something doesn't match with the WWII. if his father enlisted in 1943. As what I understand he should at least 18 years old. That means he was born approximately 1925+74 its 1999. Another stupid show!!!
White people with a handful of odd inconveniences season 4
Racist
Keep your idiotic comments to yourself
@@joyceanthony-huff2914 lmao true
The next time you have a thought… just let it go
Lmao that’s a good one
