Weird! It looks like an Islander and a Twin Otter had a baby. Pretty twin-otter-y looking wings on it eh?

[Skymark]

When BAQ came back it was said that was Buffalo's only Electra. Does anyone know what happened to LBA?

Will has command on Canadian built Twin Otter. Air Vanuatu have two. They operate with two pilots.

I stand corrected as it looks like Air Vanuatu now has DHC-6 Twin Otters. Now as not to hijack the thread....carry on!

[wan2fly99]

Anybody watch last night show? Are they gating more tame, trying to show a different side of Buffalo airways?

Still like some of the flying scenes

Not much "ice" in the last episode, but I'm good with that!

However, here's something that really bugs me. Why do they have to blur out so much stuff? In Coventry they blurred out the British license plate numbers on cars. Really? What's the point? And this is even more ludicrous. When the guts were in the store to buy a kiddie pool for a joke, they blurred out the faces of the kids in the picture on the carton? What's all that about?

On a similar note, was browsing google maps street view the other day to show my daughter Denison Armoury in Toronto, where she was sitting her ACGP exam - a building which has a 30' high picture of a Soldier on the side as part of a Canadian Forces advertisement. In street view the face is blurred out....

Keeps the lawyers paid though I guess

IIRC Streetview has an Algorithm that automatically blurs out faces and license plates.

[Colonel Sanders]

Why do they have to blur out so much stuff?

I'm not sure of all the details, but you will frequently see
someone's face blurred out on TV because they didn't get a
release from them.

I had to sign one for Ice Pilots.

[oldyellr]

Yeah, I guess that also explains why you see many signs and company names blurred out, even the name "Ford" in the blue oval on Ford trucks. They were probably hit up for a product placement fee and got blurred if they didn't want to pay.

[13820]

Same with Trailer Park Boys. Same producer? Same lawyer? I thought it was done as a joke.

Did Mikey's flight in the Pitts make it to air? I have been keeping an eye out for Hedley on the older episodes of IPNWT, but no sign of him so far.

[Colonel Sanders]

Got cut. All they kept was the L39 footage. Too
bad, we had a lot of fun with the four Pitts.

They should have at least put in the footage of
Mikey smoking the clutch in the Jessica Simpson
Ferrari on the runway, wearing a top hat. You
don't see that every day.

[Pop n Fresh]

Nothing broke, so they failed to get any footage the producers liked?

[Colonel Sanders]

I dunno. The Ferrari smelled pretty bad - the burning
clutch smell was awful. We thought we had killed it,
actually.

[Pop n Fresh]

But, how far was he from base?

[wan2fly99]

How would I get a ride in the Snowbirds. Joe got one (I'm a pilot not of his caliber thought)

[Duffman]

They announced on Facebook that there will be a season 6.

I have enjoyed the show, but I think it should have been killed after the third season. It's just not that entertaining anymore...

[wan2fly99]

Glad to see another season.
I agree its running out of steam, but there is nothing on TV to watch
Few shows I do watch is Buffalo, Mayday if they ever make any new episodes, Dangerous Fliught for any good flying scenes (Not the show itself) and Close Encounters

Maybe next years show they can have an old city fart like me trying to do battle with loading those planes.

I heard this is the last season. I heard Justin bought an aviation company and one of Buffalos crashes they found was a 1000 pounds over gross and transport was gonna drop the hammer once and for all. All rumour of course

[Duffman]

This is not the last season, confirmed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_U-TaMq4-o

1000lbs over gross in the baron? DC3? electra?

and don't even try and tell me "over gross is over gross"
