In 1966-70 a PBY Super Cat was stationed at the Ramona Air Attack Base under contract to the US Forest Service. It served with distinction.

@peanutbutterisfu 2 года назад

It’s surprising they have been able to fly these 80-90 year old air frames for commercial use this long specially in the conditions they have up north and not for nothing the amount of extra work they have to do just to start them up in the morning making sure the engines are warm. The extreme cold then hot I’m surprised they don’t crack cylinders once a week on these old radial engines. These engines were designed almost 100 years ago. Literally flying around antiques.

Gawd, I love those PBYs! It's a serious SHAME that Joe didn't take care of this vintage aircraft a bit better! At the end of the day, the company is Joe's responsibility but, he blames everyone else but himself. Good for Chuck!! It seems everyone at Buffalo smokes, you'd think they'd learn...

First time to hear about Buffalo airlines and found this film very lavish. Those guys deserve a credit as a living museum and keep those aged planes operational. At Buffalo everything is f$%ed and it seems they even use that word in their financial statements for the government. Loved Chuck the master mechanic 😆.

When landing and they call out "90-94" are they calling speed?

@tilethio 2 года назад

They are reading the altitued. I belive it has two purposes. 1, it signifies the pilot or copilot is monitoring the decent. Second it is an instrument check.

@TranscendianIntendor 3 месяца назад

Watching the Electra you see it trailing smoke. Watching the DC-4 there is much less. JP4 or AvJet that has Prist premixed is not burned cleanly from the Electra. Aviation is at the top of all the technologies. I heard the fuel mentioned. I've spoken to an airport manager and he knows there are new fuels available. Still for this reason or that the use of these new fuels is prohibited. This is one of the reasons I work at building Transcendia the nation of airports. Transcendian is my channel where I publish works of art I've made. Well my idea was to make profitable movies to finance those things necessary to do. Oh and at 50 I got married and have been married since.
