- On a routine flight to test a new engine on an o65 year old C-46 the pilots encounter some major issues. During the 2 day 1700km trip the engine begins to leak oil across the wing causing severe alarm, if the plane runs out of the oil the engine will stall and the plane will crash. The pilots are running out of time to land this plane.

Thank you for turning back. I just hate hearing about plane crashes. I don't fly. No need to.
Thanks dad, for saying you're glad we're still alive.
Great show everyone. Stay safe.
You don't want to visit other continents?
The best show on tv. I love it. Thanks for uploading.
The planes are like kids in a candy store. It’s good to see so many young people love flying. I am terrified of heights. I’ve made peace with flying out of necessity.
The pilots were NOT terrified! They handled the situation like pros!
They could have been both terrified and acting professional all at the same time.
@@Ariadne76-k3d They were concerned, they weren't terrified. They had everything well under control.
This show just proves that if something is well-built and well-maintained, it’ll run reliably run for a LONG time
Well in aviation they replace nearly everything on the aircraft due to service intervals.
You could do that same on car but I doubt that many people can afford changing engine or transmission to keep their old car driving. It's cheaper to buy a new one than keep replacing all of the parts.
@@hene193 That's what Emerald means by well built and well maintained.
That being said, these old planes are still more reliable, and go for longer than modern jets, in far more brutal environments.
@@hene193 With inflation, interest hikes and the price of new and recent year used cars, a lot more people are putting $ into their old cars. Plus the very complex and expensive electronic/computer systems in recent cars are expensive to fix.
Great to see Inuvik again! Brings back memories of good times in the 70's.
Always worth & enjoy watching the team @ Buffalo getting it done.
Joe is just a great guy he has made a lot of decisions to keep that business running nothing but respect
YOU ROCK JOE, NOTHHHHING WRONG BEING DEAD ON BALLS ACCURATE - IT'S MONEY, EQUIPMENT AND LIVES ON THE LINE.....YOU ARE 100 PRECENT CORRECT !
At first I was like have never heard of buffalo airways and never seen their planes in East Africa 🤣 then I heard the CEO's name and I was totally impressed...and 40yrs in the same business that's a genius and a patient human being...thank you for sharing 😍 much love from Doha
Good show! Well done all round! CAVU skies to all aviators.
Never get tired of this....keep flying guys....
Joe is a grea businessman, an,e to remain in the tough aviation business. Respects to Buffalo Joe!!!
great show, great pilots but those planes are a mess. I just hope no one dies
I would NOT want this job! God bless them.
They have make a wise decision by turning back to proper check the plane. I hate to see people injured/dead by plane crash, too scary for my likeness
Now if he crashes and hurts somebody because of the negligence of oil does he get a 110 years like that trucker
That C-46 is a beauty if you compare it to DC-3.
This was interesting.. saw Rankin Inlet and thought.. I'm sure I've flown in and out of that one.. checked the logbook.. Yup.. Been there, done that. En route to Afghanistan. Retired now but loved my career.
Great.🤔. documentary well done
I've grown quite fond of this series . . .
right me too
He he - 40 deg C, here in Ireland we freak out when the weather goes below 0 deg C!
the old man cracks me up !! he is flying 70 year old airplane engines that have been ohauled hundreds of times im sorry but nobody to blame but himself
Let's try this again like The A-Team love it when a plan works out right
Please make more shows new one love you shows
They had 30 min reserve, it's a no-brainer they'd make it-so long as there was no mechanical failure. They just had to make it look good for the camera and Transport Can in case they were watching.
Joe knows what needs too be done and not jeopardize the crew aircraft can be be replaced people can't that's why he has been successful for 40+ years
Scotty Kilmer, we need you !
Like the love it when they're playing works out right
Those planes belong in a museum. I have a multi rating and would not get in the cockpit of any one of them.
no. The mixture control absolutely does not work like a choke on an old car.
Man when I was a boss I felt that same rage on more occasions than I care to remember but I didn't dare rant. But I sure wish I could go back in time and just let it rip like he does. THAT would be very cathartic. ha Ha hA!!
"terrified"? No. Who writes these drama queen titles.
They must have received a master in calculation!!’
Talk about Dramatizing, the reserve is just for that, use when needed.
Inappropriate maintenance. Pollute the environment.
Warm up the engine to check if there is leak or not lol
Does Adam not like Scott very much or are they GOOD buddies, because the insults... lol
first, I'd like to commend the show's depiction of the word 'eh'. often non-canadians use it wrong and say smthg like 'can I get some wine eh'. like no LOL. 2nd, I wonder if most ppl think all of canada has dogsleds and skidoos (the answer is no)
IKR.
Just like we Germans don't all wear Dirndl dresses and Lederhosen and eat nothing but Sauerkraut.
Who rebuilt the engine?
I think it may be time to buy a couple Cessna Caravans.
18:08. No line pilot dipsticks a modern airliner. Ever.
of course not :-) because you cant ! the tanks on these old planes are not pressurised
They need better planes, people, infrastructure.
Have you considered that maybe piston aircraft may be better for bush flying conditions? Piston engines spool up much faster than turboprops and for that reason are better at short takeoffs and landings. They can also be repaired by less specialized mechanics (though you can obviously see how that went wrong in this episode).
Audrey spent a couple years there. She was motivated, committed, side-lined and disappointed/burned-out. You don't invest/reward that effort and you lose good people :-/ I hope she is doing well. Joe's 'OK-bye' was heartless IMO.
Can these planes fly on single-engine?
Like the Buffalo
How about LETTING US ALL SEE THE LOG BOOK ENTRY FROM THE ENGINE RUN DIRECTLY AFTER THE ENGINE CHANGE? THE FIRST THING MAINTENANCE IS SUPPOSED TO DO IS AN ENGINE RUN AFTER AN ENGINE CHANGE TO DETERMINE SEVERAL THINGS.
1. LEAKS
2. OPERATIONAL CHECKS, DOES IT MAKE POWER, ESPECIALLY TAKE-OFF POWER
Were these checks done? By who? Let's see the maintenance signoff in the aircrafts log book please?
HEY MIKEY! - PLANE SAVVVVVVVERSSSSSSSS! : ) lol
Yeaaa manufactured drama, my favorite.
Again: Why not have Convair turboprops instead of C-47 and C-46? Apart from horizontal loading, those engines might even be compatible with the Canadair amphibians if made turbo or the Electra's they have. Is this all Joe, wanting to cling on to tail draggers???
Two reasons, piston aircraft spool up almost instantly, which is good for short takeoff and landings. whereas even the best turboprops take a few seconds. They’re also easier to work on by common mechanics.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 Thank you for your reaction.
11:40 put water in the oil? no thanks; I'll catch the bus.
3 views 5 likes, good youtube init
:P
Have you seen Tom Scott's vid on why computers can't count? Explains it really well for a general audience.
@@Amanda-C. nope, feel sorry for the bitcoin people then lol
Probably there is a reasonable explanation, but why didn't the guys on the arctic circle run just taken several drums of avgas knowing that they might need them?
And how would you get the fuel into the plane? You need fueling equipment. Apart from that, it's wasting precious cargo capacity, and then excessive fuel consumption can be sign of an underlying problem with the engine.
@@givmi_more_w9251 no no
Why would they even take the chance ?
Should have gotten the fuel when they could have
The comment about not trusting the gas gauge is bag-on. I made a dip stick for my plane and it saved me once on an over the ocean trip.
Like trollge always said, you need oil to fly.
Who came up with the stupid title, the pilots weren't even remotely scared let alone terrified! They just noticed an issue and decided to be safe...
Wonder did
Why wouldnt they carry a drum of fuel incase lol.
altitude has no economy with piston aircraft turbines yes
Nobody can make a fool out of Joe that Man just knows everything about His Planes & He thinks of the risks that his Crews face & comes up with the right decisions.
💥💥💥More I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE!!!!! 💥💥💥
too lean will cause the engine to get hot.
Oh another broken plane. What else is new
5:00: Gee. It takes that long to make a decision? Feel lucky, punk?
Hmmmmm, not exactly sure what the wind is doing at 11k, min fuel, hey I have an idea, let’s fly over an airport that has fuel because they need the tail back home. You’ll need to adjust that decision making should you come to the airlines.
Just a quick reminder planes use kerosene not oil.
SWAP OUT THE LEFT ENGINE FROM THE OTHER C-46 AND PUT IT INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF AVO..DONE AND DONE : ) TRANSFER ALL THE FUEL FROM ONE TO THE OTHER WHILE YOU ARE AT IT !
What’s with the caps
Yes because I’m sure all these experienced pilots didn’t think of that during meeting. I’m glad there are people like you around that can state the obvious and fix everyone’s problems.
The video and the story are not matching. New engine oil is honey-colored, and after just a test flight is still of that hue. The black oil depicted is the color of oil which has been in the engine 50 hours.
OMG clickbait. I have 3000 hours flying aircraft with the R2800 engine. When the oil gets low feather the prop and fly on the remaining engine. This is not a big deal.
Do you really have to use F bombs to communicate????!!!!
Clickbait. I didn’t see ANY TERRIFIED pilots. Just capable and competent.
Can’t these planes fly on single-engine?...better shut-down the trouble engine, before it causes an engine seizure (resulting in expensive repairs!!!!)....and get the single-enigma to the nearest suitable airport.
Bu mühendis çok rahat pek işinin adamı degil
whoa I'm early 7th :)
Such drama.
Glad im not there Ida quit. all them goofballs
I don’t like fake shows.
I don't like the way the boss talks down to his employees. He tells them things they already know and swears as well. He needs to grow up.
Matatan.(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞. Ribirin Hs.(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞.🤔.RD
WE are never "terrified".. Stupid title..
Cvjoo
Third
