If you aren't already aware, check out the information online relating to the new History Channel reality series about Buffalo Airways, a company flying a mix of DC-3, DC-4 and C-46 cargo planes around the North West Territories. There will be 13 episodes, so if you missed the first one, which introduced the owning McBryan family and key aircrew and other figures, there's lots more to come. Before you bemoan the business of using the Herman Nelson to pre-warm our aircraft and the check for icing in Winter time, watch these guys clean a cargo aircraft of snow, balancing on a slippery wing 15 feet off the ground. The adventure starts long before they leave the ground. Conversations among members who saw episode 1 suggest that everyone with an interest in aviation will love this series and its characters. This link will take you to the History Channel's page describing the series and providing the schedule.
