Turbopropping a herc! What a great way of ensuring more life from such a useful airframe! I wish the RAAF had done so instead of scrapping and museuming ours! An airframe that still can't easily be replaced
I think you meant turbopropping a "Caribou".Hercs were turboprops from the get-go.We should have got our Caribou converted to Buffalo specs at the time,both aircraft have excellent S.T.O.L abilities and multi role capabilities.The Caribou was loved by it's crews and the soldiers it carried!🇦🇺🫡

What an Amazing Aircraft. Canada has and still does build some incredible Air Craft. And even the Beaver is no exception. Love De Havilland and Bombardier of Canada. Wonderful Companies
I believe that the DYC Buffalo was built at the DeHavilland Canada factory in Malton ( suburb of Toronto ). Apparently DeHavilland won the U.S. Army contract competition to find a turboprop troop/cargo carrier that could fly in and out of very shorts airstrips cut out of the Vietnamese jungle. DeHavilland has been a great innovator of STOL technology. I wonder if they will ever build the “Buff” ever again ?
I worked the Dash-7 line in 84-85 and while screwing the pooch one day climbed into the lower cockpit access door and took a nap in a Buffalo that we had in the hangar. Snooping around the huge facilities, we found a Augmentor Wing Buffalo in another hangar who's cargo bay seemed to be mostly filled with what looked to us like main-frame computer cabinets. Fine old memories.
Hi Fred;I moved off the Dash-7 line into Bay-7, Test Flt. Got to 'play' with some pretty neat stuff.Was very impressed with the 'Dog & Pony' demos that I saw.
The Caribou and the Buffalo were two of the finest aircraft ever built. It doesn't rotate it levitates. That is the only aircraft I've ever seen take off nose down at lift off.
After working on the Buffalo line, I transfered to Flight Service as a F.S. Engineer; and my first assignment was taking the D.H.C-6 "Twotter" off the final assy. line, doing the fuel flows, first lights, engine runs, compass swings and so forth to prepare it for flight. When it was ready, we put a pilot in it; (frequently George Neal), for him to do his 'thing'. Once he signed off the A.I-100, we prepared it for delivery. I got a little 'hands-on' time on it, and if the Buffalo is 'MAACHIINE', then the Twin Otter is 'maashiine'! WOW!
I flew these with 413 Sqn, 79 - 82 out of Summerside, PEI - Loved the aircraft & the job. Excellent plane, excellent people. Thanks for the post & great memories. Sub.
Absolutely stunning video's! Superb compilation! Awesome shots, and a really nice lookin' plane! I've never seen it in real... And congratulations with 1M views! That's absolutely unbelievible! :) Well done man! :) You deserve it!
SUPER! I love it so much! That sir is a lot of views! WOW! Your videos are all so amazing I'm so glad people are watching your incredible videos! WELL DONE! AWEOSME collection I love it all so much
Aircraft #456 was retired to Ontario in October 2020. Number 457 has been placed in the CFB Comox Heritage Air Park. Both have been documented online. 4 remain in Comox with 442 Squadron: 451, 452, 462 and 465. And so begins the long farewell... :(
I retired from DeHavilland/Bombardier a few years ago, as a Flight Service Engineer. I started there on the C5 Final assembly line, running the control through the aircraft. Later on I got a ride in one on a test flt. All I can say about it is:"MAACHIIINE!"
+Melvin Goddard Nice, that must have been a very interesting career working for De Havilland. It is always a real treat to see the DHC-5 pass through CZNL, it is truly an impressive aircraft.
Those old Buffalo's could land on a dime I wonder if it's hard to get parts I'll bet you this Canadian Air Force has to make parts in there machine shops
That's a good question, I think Viking Aircraft supports the DHC-5 but I could be wrong. I really wish a DHC-5NG would have been developed, I'll miss these classic turboprops when they're gone.
Awesome video man ! Really enjoyed this incredible video ! This plane is one of my favourite prop plane :) Thank you so much for sharing ;) Subscribed to your AMAZING channel as well ;)
Growing up in Kenya, I always watched these beauties flying with the Kenya Air Force.Man do I miss the deep turboprop drone of the DHC 5 and the smoke trail.
Very nice, that must have been great getting to experience the DHC-5! It was always a big treat when the RCAF ones passed through my local airport. Unfortunately they are quickly being retired here, and I'm really going to miss them.
With full flaps the plane creates more lift than the angle of attack. It also looks like with all the lift they literally have got fly it into the ground. It is quite a sight to see it perform.
+taylorowner the flaps actually control the elevator trim tab via cables to force the nose down when they are down.(only airplane I know of that does that) 22 years as a tech on these great planes.
Hi friend, is this machine still in operation? Unfortunately here in Brazil, they retired in 2005, what a pity, but I'm a model airplane maker, and God willing I'll build one, with 10% of the real scale.
Unfortunately, the RCAF just retired the last Buffalo. January 15, 2022 was the was flight of one with the RCAF, and I'm really going to miss them. That's very neat, I'd love to see some footage of your scale Buffalo once it's built!
@@TheHDAviation ok friend, it will be a pleasure to share this experience with all those in love with Buffalo, hugs and see you soon. I'll be sharing everything on the channel #msamodelismo
In fact, two important information is missing for me to start the project, the height and width of dear Buffalo's cargo cabin, if you can help me, I will be grateful.
She is such a beauty! My absolute vote that Canada should adopt an updated version as it's next fixed wing SAR platform. Why go offshore? We already have the best!
That was a cool effect when it took of the first time how the props started spinning like that. What happened here? Is it about the camera I think right?
It's actually some kind of condensation that the props create when they are spinning in the right weather conditions. I'm not sure the exact reason it happens but it sure looks interesting!
Those are vortexes at the prop tip. The exact same thing happens to wing tips, flap tips, helicopter rotor tips. Just about any airfoil creating lift produces those vortexes at the tips, as high-pressure air is spilled around the tip as it tries to flow toward the area of lower pressure (AKA induced drag). In the right temperature/humidity conditions, the vortexes become visible.
Viking Air should consider converting them into water bombers with plastic inserts in & out the rear doors with the rear doors removed ofcourse. Another lease on life.
Never get tired of watching the c-115 take off, i love the way it sort of levitates off the ground.
I agree, one awesome aircraft!
Rotate????? No just "tate" as in levitate!

Turboprop version of the B-52 in half scale. Elegant, purposeful and graceful.
Such a great little aircraft, I miss the Buffalo.

Fantastic footage... my sister and her family live in Nelson. It's a beautiful part of Canada.
Thanks! It's a nice place to live for sure, I really enjoy being here.

Excellent landing and takeoff work on this Fantastic machine👍
ONE MILLION VIEWS?? * Mind blow * Absolutely phenomenal compilation, loved every second of it ;D
Thanks for watching and for the support, I appreciate it! :-D
This was a great airplane. So versatile.
Love the old Buffalo.
Great airplanes, both the Buffalo and Caribou.
I love them both as well, sad to see the Buffalo's go from the RCAF.

Thanks a lot!
what an aircraft!....we used to have the Caribou here in Australia and they were excellent!
+Tony Swan I'd love to see a Caribou in person some day, love the old radials. Thanks for watching!
Still remember when the US Army Golden Knights transitioned to the Caribou from the C-47 Dakota; wow, what a difference!
👏Fantastic Aircraft.👏
Love the old Buffalo.
Very nice footage!
Well done mate!
Thanks so much!

Thanks Steve!
Awesome. Fantastic aircraft.
Congrats on 1M views!! Great video as well, really liked the parachuting views :) Huge like!!
Love this aircraft, cannot wait to own one, I would so assist especially in the interior domain. Thanks Canada.
What an amazing compilation! Absolutely awesome! Congratulations on 1 million views!

Just wondering if there is any other airplane designed to replace the Buffalo...?
Awesome work-congratulations on 1M!! Awesome airplane to celebrate it!!
Thanks for watching!
Dei vários saltos do Búfalo porta e rampa..........
One of the best STOL aircraft in existence.
hey definitely are impressive, thanks for watching!
***** Thanks for posting the video! I used to work at a repair and overhaul facility for the T-64 engines!
Bergstaller01
Nice, that must have been an interesting job. Thanks for watching!
9:54 wtf that is like less the 1,000 feet? What airport this at?
Ya, I'm always impressed at how little runway the Buffalo uses! These clips were taken at CZNL in Nelson, British Columbia.
Thanks for your outstanding work, filming quality and unique aircraft, such a great channel.
Congrats and all the best. :-)
Thanks so much my friend, I really appreciate the support!
Fantastic compilation!! Congrats on 1,000,000 views!
Thanks :-D

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! :-)
How does it takeoff horizontally, is it the flaps that traps enough air and its cushioned into takeoff?? amazing
The plane lifts its rear wheels first, then climbs with a nose-down attitude. That's lift in reserve, baby!
Congratulations on 1,000,000 views. Here's to the next 1,000,000.
Thanks :-)
What an amazing aircraft! I bet those guys could take off and land in my backyard.
Who's backyard is this Runway in .. Looks nice in the Mountains where ever this.. Must be in Northern BC ??
I was a Buffalo pilot in Brazilian Air Force. The best aircraft to Amazonas and Parachute Operartions.
Very cool, that must have been awesome flying the Buffalo. I really miss seeing them flying for the RCAF.
Wonderful compilation mate ! and a very big congratz on reaching 1M views !
Keep up the good work and a huge like !
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
Congratulations on 1,000,000 views!!!

does anyone know of any videos where the plant drags a line and winches a stretcher up into the plane? thank you in advance.
Those things climb at such a flat angle, it looks kind of funny!

Awesome video, the Buffalo is a true beast! What's with these pilots? Where's the flare?
Don' need to 'flare'; just drop it in and go reverse thrust!b
She is such a beauty! My absolute vote that Canada should adopt an updated version as it's next fixed wing SAR platform. Why go offshore? We already have the best!
+Merlyn Sk The CC-115 is a beauty indeed, always impressive to see it passing through CZNL.
I have so many hours in the back of a 115 doing MRP's out of Summerside, PE. She is a grand lady with immense capabilities...She is a sturdy old Gal.
Merlyn Sk
lol the buffalo is awesome!
Yup, one of my favorites. Thanks for watching.
SARS personnel train constantly. In Canada, it is the military that takes on that responsibility.❤ C115.
It's always fun seeing them training at CZNL.
Looks like hope airport on some shots
Close! All of these shots are from CZNL in Nelson, BC.
@@TheHDAviation thanks Kootenay did tickle around in my head as I watched
Nice.
Nice!

Lol it doesn't even need to nose up :D
Unfortunately this great aircraft doesn't fly in Brazil anymore. I saw it fly only some times when I was child.
That's too bad there aren't any of these flying in Brasil. They are pretty cool planes to see. Thanks for watching.
I never see civil Buffalo
...worked on the last buffalo at dehavilland...
+Tim Smith Nice! It's good to still see them going strong with the RCAF.
Viking Air should consider converting them into water bombers with plastic inserts in & out the rear doors with the rear doors removed ofcourse. Another lease on life.
One Million views may be exaggarated, as we keep our eyes closed most of the time.
1 dhc 115 buffalo is need time land lunglei today first go
5 dhc5 buffalo dhc6 plane let it supply me farm veng go today I flying out around
Weirdest plane ever
Amazing compilation, nice video work ;) Congrats on 1.000.000 views
Thanks!
