Watching from the Barkly tablelands of the Northern Territory of Australia, yes never forget them but sure do miss those documentary videos the used to post on here, Thanks for sharing this video with us , see some changes since I last watched a video of Buffalo Airways. Sad to see the DC 4 parked up and am wondering what happened to the other one ? Joe must be well into his seventies now and I'm guessing still flying, wondering how many hours he must have logged ( and how many he didn't bother logging 😁😂😂 Like so many bush pilots in both fixed wing and helicopter, I'm 71 yrs and grew up in South Westland , south island of NZ, we had no road access when I was a kid and relied on an Air service, as a young man I was involved in the Venision industry late sixties and seventies, fixed wing and helicopter were the required machines of the order back then, Wish Buffalo a long lasting and prosperous future, Cheers and thanks from from an old man Al
@@SubArcticAdventures The Series of course and Mikey’s adventures as well. I remember waiting in bated breath for the next episodes. Sure I can still watch them now but it’s nothing like watching the first time. 😀😀 Thanks Again. I wish Mikey would do an update as well. All the best to you and yours!
@@sneaks01 That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! Maybe if we get a chance to go back in the winter we’ll see if Mikey will come out and say “Hi” to everyone. Stay tuned! 😎
That was a really cool tour of Buffalo Air! They have such a long history of service! Hope this new time of posting works out for your channel! >Terry!
This video brought back some very fond memories. Back in the 1970’s, Naples (Florida) Airlines (aka PBA) had a fleet of five DC-3’s (N35PB, N233PB, N130PB, N32PB, N139PB) which I flew on frequently between Naples Florida and either Ft. Lauderdale or Miami. They were great planes. They also added Martin 404’s (N40407) to the fleet in the mid 70’s and had at least one Lockheed 10E Electra (N233PB) in the 1960’s
Thanks Alan! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video. We really had some fun in doing the tour and I had fun with the editing after the fact! Were you a passenger or get to pilot the DC-3s on the frequent flights?
Those DC-3's (all 4 of them) came from NWT Air including the hangar. NWT Air also owned two DC-6's and the chief pilot was Happy Harry Sorenson. The owner was Bob Engel, an American from Seattle. This was back in the 1960's/70's when I worked for that company. Both have passed on. I spent many hours in those aircraft, flying around most of the NWT, which at that time included the Eastern Arctic. Am now 90 years old and still truckin'. Happy days.
Very awesome. I love the Yukon. The Dempster highway is gorgeous this time of year! Maybe this time next season you’ll see a video about it 😉. Thanks for watching!
Interesting video and definitely some great info for locals who might be intrigued to get out and check that little gem for themselves. Watching your videos is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get 😂
Sub- Arctic Man Cave .... I miss the periodic little snippits from Buffalo 30 years ago there was a company ... I gather was doing express runs for GM here in Oshawa were running 2 DC-3s ... would see them regularly
It’ll be a different sky overhead when they stop running the DC-3 all together here. I’ve already noticed a huge drop in use since they got the new jet. 😬
I 100% agree and would love to. I hope to have some other operators appearing in future videos, but if you know of anyone please have them reach out in the mean time! Thanks so much for watching!
When they can't find a part on the market for their 80 year old planes they just borrow the closest match from the car junkyard next to the planes (@2:15min) and vice-versa!
Really enjoyed the tour with a fresh face, not the usual suspects! Lol Just a heads up, the volume of music is too loud for these old ears! Could you please turn it down a couple of notches? Going from the conversation, back to music, and back to conversation makes it hard to hear. I would rather hear the conversation. Otherwise very good video and looking towards the next one's! 😊 Thank you!
Thank you very much for feedback! I’m truly loving this journey in learning all this along the way to building the channel. Thank you for joining me. I’ll work on the audio for sure. Were you using headphones?
We were lucky enough to get a private one-on-one tour, so there are no complaints here at all. They treated us amazingly and we had a blast. If we can get a lot of views /subscribers that show us there’s the interest, I’ll look at going back at some point over the winter as well and welcome all requests to try to capture what content people would like to see. I took note of the exhibits/artifacts for you. Thanks for watching!
@@RetiredPilot True. But then again, it wasn’t my intention to broadcast their entire tour. There’s a lot more to see and I don’t want to spoil it for you. Come check it out! Look us up when you get here 😎
I think the point of this video is to encourage people like us to come and see. If we hear it all then why would we bother to go? Great job on the video, this is very well done! A few of us all sat to watch it again a second time.
^^this. You’re spot on. It’s a video about hanging out and exploring things to do in northern Canada - not broadcast a vendors entire tour. Thanks for getting it. And THANK YOU for the support. I’m not a professional. I’m an amateur UA-camr. The beauty of UA-cam is… you can go find what you like and watch that. 😎
Please keep them coming. Your videos will keep us entertained in the long winter months coming ahead. We all love watching your content and very happy we stumbled upon it. I keep checking to see if you have more.
Wow! Such a cool video Derek! Very interesting! Enjoyed seeing inside the planes and learning about them.
Thanks so much! Always a new adventure up here in the Subarctic! Looking forward to the winter camping season too! More to come!
Here in Canada I watched the show ice pilots on the history channel 20 years ago and Joe was in his 60s and now 2024 he’s still going,good for him👍🏻👍🏻
That is amazing! Thank you so much for watching. I hope you liked it and will check out some of our other past and upcoming videos!! //derek
I'm from YK and these guys are still rolling
“Plane savers” & Mikey McBryan & Jo the ice pilot never forgotten 👍 Good video.
Thank you!

I love Buffallo Airways, Mikey and his family!
Cant get enough of Buffalo Airways🎯💚
The DC-3 flew over my head last evening, so close it felt like I could reach up and touch it. So cool.
Me too!
Awesome video bro! Jenn and I loved it. Great job
Thanks Mike and Jenn!
Very informative well produced video.
So glad you liked it! It means the world to us to get such a positive response to our videos! 🙏🙏
@@SubArcticAdventures You guys keep it simple, entertaining as well as educational.
Great video!!

That is an incredible story. You’re living proof that life is an adventure, and a very interesting one at that! God bless!
good one enjoyed that
@@williamsion3000 Thanks so much 🙏
I grew up living in the territories and loved that show. I grew up in the Yukon to be precise
Very awesome. I love the Yukon. The Dempster highway is gorgeous this time of year! Maybe this time next season you’ll see a video about it 😉. Thanks for watching!
@@SubArcticAdventures that is awesome. I am glad you loved the Yukon
That's so cool. I enjoy that show
It’s neat to be inside their planes for sure! Thanks for watching!
Interesting video and definitely some great info for locals who might be intrigued to get out and check that little gem for themselves.
Watching your videos is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get 😂
Thanks Shane! Also a video for anyone interested in visiting the area too. Always welcome!
Love your video and I hope you get more vids.
I'm way too old for more kids! lol. Thanks for tuning in, my man!
Welcome to Yellowknife folks
It’s the best place 😉
Sub- Arctic Man Cave .... I miss the periodic little snippits from Buffalo
30 years ago there was a company ... I gather was doing express runs for GM here in Oshawa were running 2 DC-3s ... would see them regularly
It’ll be a different sky overhead when they stop running the DC-3 all together here. I’ve already noticed a huge drop in use since they got the new jet. 😬
Would be great for you to visit other operators as well. They all contribute to the communities
I 100% agree and would love to. I hope to have some other operators appearing in future videos, but if you know of anyone please have them reach out in the mean time! Thanks so much for watching!
Airspray has nine operational L188s, many of them are cargo variants
Is Airspray another company?
Joe is still flying. Thats all I wanted to know. God love the old timers.
When they can't find a part on the market for their 80 year old planes they just borrow the closest match from the car junkyard next to the planes (@2:15min) and vice-versa!
Yo sup
Nadda. S’up witchu? Haha
Really enjoyed the tour with a fresh face, not the usual suspects! Lol
Just a heads up, the volume of music is too loud for these old ears! Could you please turn it down a couple of notches? Going from the conversation, back to music, and back to conversation makes it hard to hear. I would rather hear the conversation. Otherwise very good video and looking towards the next one's! 😊 Thank you!
Thank you very much for feedback! I’m truly loving this journey in learning all this along the way to building the channel. Thank you for joining me. I’ll work on the audio for sure. Were you using headphones?
Music is not needed!
I’ve done some content without based on your feedback. Please check it out and let me know if it’s better!
that C-54 is not likely to go anywhere soon.
Seems that they have very talented people that can snap to attention in a moments notice. So cool.
Video is actually better than the show. Guide was great and knowledgeable but shed the coffee mug. Would like to see more of the artifacts/exibits
We were lucky enough to get a private one-on-one tour, so there are no complaints here at all. They treated us amazingly and we had a blast. If we can get a lot of views /subscribers that show us there’s the interest, I’ll look at going back at some point over the winter as well and welcome all requests to try to capture what content people would like to see.

Legendary? I think you mean infamous...
Touché
BUFFALO AIRWAYS END
your music takes away from the information.
@@RetiredPilot True. But then again, it wasn’t my intention to broadcast their entire tour. There’s a lot more to see and I don’t want to spoil it for you. Come check it out! Look us up when you get here 😎
The guide is explaining things and you have stupid music playing?
Take the tour. Hear it for yourself.
I think the point of this video is to encourage people like us to come and see.
If we hear it all then why would we bother to go?
Great job on the video, this is very well done!
A few of us all sat to watch it again a second time.
