Tomorrow, May 5th 2022 marks 10 years since Arnie passed away, Rest In Peace and fly high.
_Hold onto your hats boys._ 👍
He made me wake up at 4am to watch this, spooky.
My sympathy from the Netherlands for Arnie. I enjoyed his flights very much. Rest in Peace Arnie.
I flew my own floatplane for my BC business. Just learned enough to have enormous respect for Arnie’s life ! Always remember the Dam busting episode. I to cried when I heard the news of his passing . To his family, Arnie is remembered as a classic gentleman. 🇨🇦🙏❤️
RIP Kelly & Arnie & thanks for the memories.
Rest in peace Arnie Schreder, Jimmy Essery and Kelly Jurasevich, you will forever be missed and your contributions to the aviation industry will forever be cherished in our hearts.
Have they passed ?
@@showusyaguppysaustralia1515 if they didn't why would he be saying that?
Yes all the 3 passed, Jimmy and Arnie passed in 2012,Kelly passed in 2017
😔
It is very sad, they were so wonderful…😢
This is one of the greatest TV series ever. Thank you for making it available on UA-cam.
I watched it on history chnl years ago now its on u-tube . What a great show and yes RIP Arnie, Kelly and Jimmy.
Joe is right about time. I constantly tell young people to live their young lives to the fullest, because that period seems so fleeting when you get older, and you can't get those years back for a do over.
Defnitly agree. One of the best programs i watched this year. Sorry to hear Arnie passed on a while back. He is free from pain and suffering.
Nostalgia for all the old cats sets in. Its great to see these videos.
Those valve covers at 31:21 sure brought back bad memories of my time with Teledyne Continental Castings. We made a lot of those things along with cylinder sleeves, etc. I still have some nasty scars from being burned by molten aluminum being sprayed on me. I drove out to the old plant a couple of years back and it really felt good to see it all shut down and boarded up. Nobody else will have to suffer from working out there!
As a Canadian I've lived all my life with the understanding of how huge our country is. Imagine being from England or Scotland and seeing the vast Canadian landscape for the first time. The US has 300+ million people living within their country we have just under 40 million. In Canada so much is just wide open spaces, forest & prairie. How can you not love the people of Buffalo Airways part of the adventure that comes with serving Canada? I'm totally annoyed with CBC, CTV and Global that one won't do an adventure show with these folks. They must be blind, def and dumb. Do they float around in their ethereal world unaware of what is the real Canada??? I guess so.
We are not overpopulated either. It’s a lie. The mismanagement of resources, destruction of new technologies to keep control of humanity and greed by the 1% are the problem. The truth will come out. Everything we think we know is a lie.
I loved my travels in Canada. Beautiful people, gorgeous scenery and fond memories.
This is a very interesting show. R.I.P. Arnie, Kelly and Jimmy. Gone never forgotten! ❤️
Love the segment about Arnie and the engine swap in KNE. My father owned that airplane from about 1966 until he died in 1974. I got my seaplane rating in KNE and logged about 150 hours. I know this footage is about 10 years old but it still brings back old memories. Sure would like to know how KNE spent the intervening years. Thanks for posting!
I don't know if you know this, but if you want the answers, Mikey McBryan has a YT channel here and have been doing Plane Savers.
Shoot him a piece of contact and he may give you what you seek.
Possibly the best episode. Brought tears to my eyes. And some great flying and really cool airplanes.
I thought same thing. Sums everything up whoever produced and directed this one, is bound for greater things.
I was Captain on the other ex Newfoundland 215. The summer of 2011 was an active fire year across the country but especially in Alberta. The devastation that Slave Lake experienced was a precursor to what would happen in Fort McMurray 5 years later. My seat mate on the West Jet flight home to Ontario was the great Peter Lougheed former Premier of Alberta. I remember saying to him. If you live in the boreal forest you should not be planning a “what if scenario “ for forest fires but what should you be planning for “when” the fire comes. Fire is a natural part of the ecology of a boreal forest, it is how it renews itself and regulates pests and old growth.
Youre a smart man Mr Marsh.
@@1mmickk thanks mate. I did aerial fire suppression for 35 years I picked up a bit along the way. I’m not smart just a survivor.
@@petermarsh5762 Youre Legend, its ppl like you who make the world a better place.
@@petermarsh5762🙏
I had nothing to do one day , so I drovd up to Yellowknife , so Buffalo's hanger and a row of planes right beside the highway . Boy , was I impressed . In person you get to see just how big their operation is , wow . and everything was so neat and tidy . that alone was worth the trip . Yellowknife is a very pretty little city . Just make sure you bring a credit card if you need a place to stay , seem the firefighters and miners have a habit of trashing rooms , so cash won't get you a room lol
27:49 "When you climb into that airplane and just the smell and sound of it takes you back to an era where your life was very simple, you didn't have all the challenges that they manufacture today"
Such a good series, really wish it was still going, it really does beat what’s currently on TV
Motorhead, Totally agree, we had it on Foxtel in Australia, great viewing.
I wish that too, but everything good on TV, they shut down 😥
Its on Pluto
This is the side of Joe I like, admire . . .
I love this series. It demands that you change focus one minute from the marvelous planes to the next minute to the wonderful people.
Arnie schreder today 10 years you will be missed Rest In Peace and fly high
Arnie was one heck of a great pilot and a great person .
Love this show. Buffalo Airways ROCKS!
Second only to air combat, that has got to be the toughest flying there is. A smokey sky full of mixed aircraft! SHEESH! Bob
I used to fly up to YK for hockey tournaments on those DC-3's
It's was so cool being on a plane that was used to help the allies.
RIP Arnie.
Arnie was a special guy, a true gentleman. Kelley was the jewel in the crown, one very very special lady. Buffalo have been fortunate to have had such wonderful people in their team.
Love this show. And the very intelligent owner. A shrewd businessman
Rest in peace Arnie.
It is nice to see the back story on Joe! Happy Birthday and the BEST to YOU...
Very enjoyable watching. THANKS!
Awesome video!!! RIP Arnie. Hi to Joe, Mikey and all the gang at Buffalo. Joe in Maine, where there are a lot of trees, moose and water including Maine's largest lake Moosehead Lake in Greenville, Maine.
I watch and love buffalo team, from Kampala Uganda
Nothing but pure awesomeness in this one!❤
"There is no time to kill, you gotta give er". Too true Joe, too true"
Well, I shed a lot of tears there. God bless you all.
"The Boss really had nothing to do with it except signing the check"...
That can often be the most challenging part, in my experience. ;)
Really fantastic series!!! :)
"Airplanes have a good way of hiding demons" Boy that's the truth.. Everything can pan out, look great. All the numbers are green, and the smallest thing you didn't see or catch can put it all down.
Glad to hear DH 515 is finally going into production.
Really well done!
that norsman sounds great
Arnie war ein super cooler Typ und Mensch , es war schön ihm immer zuzuschauen , wie er mit den Schülern umging.
Grüße aus Germany
ADVISE FROM A FIGHTER PILOT. FIRST THING TO LEARN IS RELAX! LIKE ALL FLYING YOU HAVE TO ANTICIPATE THE CHANGE IN CG. FLYING IN COMBAT IS THE SAME SITUATION WITH SAM's.
Seriously shocked to hear Arnie and Kelly have both passed away 😢
I wish Netflix would reach out to Buffalo Airways and continue the series. I saw the Hercules and DC-3 a few years ago in a remoted island in Alaska and man it was magical.
I guess these are the replay of all the Ice Pilot NWT show that was watchable on Amazon too and now free with ads to watch them
Great story..
DAMBUSTER Arnie.
Should really get honorable membership of the squadron
While I can understand your comment I do not agree with it. For the resources they had it was really well done but there were so many things that didn't match up to how Upkeep worked.
He should however receive recognition for his contribution to aviation during his long career with accumulated hours and vast experience and knowledge that was passed along the those who were fortunate to have him as their mentor.
@@josephking6515 I think you'll find that squadron weren't all up themselves. He'd have fit right in.
....... my salute to Arnie.... I am at a loss for words....
Isnt this the company that once had a reality TV show? I liked watching it.
So sorry to see Arnie suffering like that. I sincerely hope he is still doing ok. He is the epitome of a true gentleman.
Hate to say it but to current day he has passed away, these episodes are out of date
Kelly passed away too. Complications from COPD I believe.
Lost a great man in Arnie. They do not make men like this anymore!
@@packrat76 what's copd?
@@Northern_Farmer To really simplify it, basically really bad Asthma.
This episode breaks my heart
My utmost respect to the crews flying these planes, that is one of the most dangerous jobs in civil aviation.
I love Buffalo Wild Wings🖤
Just watching the series again, RIP Arnie and reunited with Kelly.
sure Arnie and Kelly safe all pilots in trust and doing a good job❤
Awesome.....
God bless you Arnie. 😔
Funny everyone thought Mikey was just goofing off on the computer.
That went well
Hickory is only about 35 minutes from me. I could have done a pre buy for you.
Great site, brought back many memories of flying in the NWT. Alaska international, Markair. Hi to all you PWA Gentleman.
the big advantage of an amphibian plane is the ability to land and scoop up water quickly for many bombing runs. A smaller version of the Mars but does a good job.
Will have to find some dirt and gravel unit to put on the 737 for the gravel strips and dirt strips i know i have that information some where.oh the guy has a bunch if dc 3 and c47 parts in the north west of the usa trying to think of where he was again
Do not bid in the clear. You created a bidding war. Next time use ESnipe to enter your limit bid in the last 4 to 8 seconds. The $100 bidders would have stopped long before $400,000
That was my dream to be a pilot, well I manage to fly radio control planes and helicopters lol
'A lot of dreams are dreamt out here..." -Buffalo Joe Mcbryan
If the crew are spending thier own money to buy the plane ( as you title suggests ) , why is Joe even involved?
The old Noorduyn Norseman also known as "the Thunder Chicken"......
Darrell Jensen was going to get Arnie to come to Oshkosh 2012, cuz I rented a house beside the airport from Aero-Expo but he didnt make it. 😢
Guy looks like Allan Alder!
“Couldn’t sing, couldn’t dance, baseball I couldn’t do it, I had 2 left hands, scared shitless of girls so……I learned to fly”. - Joe
27:26
rip. buffalo joe, Arnie, kellly
Hay joe you are looking for DC3 plane s & parts there is a place in new Zealand thats saleing all the old war birds & parts its on the Google news it mite help you keep your planes flying from Darryl
Best FIRE FIGHTING Plane is Russian BE 200 (Beriev) with PW turbofan engines. That what the catalog shows.
I am not Russian, however this plane is designed for way more versatility alike maritime rescue etc.
I wonder which gonna be Buffalo Airways next planes: Maybe Ukrainian Antonov, very durable machines. Some models are produced in Poland alike the PZL M28 Skytruck with PW Canada engines.
US Military type C-145.
What is the ship that appears at 27:27?
Hi Joe 1973 I wk for wardaire yellow knife fr my uncle Lawrence sukut met you once sometimes wsh still there love yr show pls reply thx jim sukut
Po favor traducción en español me encanta vuestros vídeos pero me no se inglés gracias
I wonder if the oil sands could catch on fire?
The retired Martin mars huge water bomber makes up three of these small drops.
unfortunately that huge drop comes with huge costs; assuming to pilots know how to drop on point.
Need more air disaster May Day
I am surprised that these operators of these very old aircraft can still get engines and airframe parts for them!
17:04 Aliens took over the White House in the movie "Inauguration Day" which came out in 2020.
@20:52 is it just me, or is it missing a tip float?
Arny ist die beste sehle, von buffalo
I wish I was an aviation man air pilot licence I work for buffalo Airways but I'm 70 years old can you fly at that age
I went for my pilot licence in 1979 ended up 13 hours as a student pilot hearing New Zealand trade in Wellington airport but I think I was too old by then I was in my 30s have to start at young age 17
That's a pretty purple sweater.
Thanks
More planes more business,
So they are left with old tech to save the day.
Better show now they don't repeat what they said every 20min . Much more enjoyable
Old story. Slave Lake fires were 2011
These episodes are from 2011?
They do not know about auction sniper.
I don't remember Kelley
A wildfire in Canada? dang climate change is going crazy
Is like getting a girlfriend on ebay hahahahahah
This is such an old video,laughing at their winning bid of $445,000 USD and the Canadian dollar was worth more at that time its been years ago today that would be $573,000 Canadian wish they had more current videos
I doubt that's Washington's Capitol pictured. Looks more like Wi.
Hey wonder...Help me get a job at Buffalo 🙏🏽
Your eBay biding strategy is wrong. You don’t actively drive up the price. Instead, don’t bid and wait until the last 10 seconds with a proxy bid high enough that your are willing to pay. And, don’t make it a round number, both dollars and cents.
Please do your research. Your quoting 2 different fires. The Slave lake fire and the Fort McMurray fires were years apart.
@@DaversTravels They are referencing the Tar sands which are nowhere near Slave Lake
In 2011 there was a fire in ft Mac to
AD BAKED INTO START OF VIDEO………..reported and BLOCKED.
What is this ??> This all happened years ago......
