Going to be interesting to see what caused the jammed gear, but glad to see that the damage isn't too bad. It looks bad, but it really isn't. Thankfully there's still enough 501D-13/15/22 engines out there for him to hang on the bird, but those Aeroproducts props are getting scarce.

that's not gonna buff out.

Those photos also show why the Aeroproducts prop wasn't the greatest. Being hollow means that there's no such thing as "fixing" it when you have something like this happen.

Thanks for the pictrues. Do you know if Ross Grady is still with us? I rode with him in Harlingen, Texas in 1979.....

Have they brought the Electra over from England yet??

[CAPFlyer]

Yes, they brought the former Air Atlantique L-188 over last fall. This was one of the first ones they brought across the pond having worked for TNT.

I also don't know how much footage there will be on the incident in Season 4 since according to Buffalo there were no crews on the flight and indications are they may not have even been in Yellowknife that day.

Maybe the fly on the wall in Buffalo Joe's office will do. I hope to pick up a trip to Yellowknife someday and check it out...

Has anyone seen a reason posted as to why NAT GEO isn't carrying the series anymore? I've sure had my fill of gold digging programs, shrimping, relics recovery, all filling up a networks entire daily schedule and wonder what happened to some of the old favorites, I see MYTHBUSTERS is back but-------

It's been airing on The Weather Channel lately, but kind of hit-and-miss.

And endlessly repeating the same 90 minutes of programming-

I've only caught maybe three or four episodes, and at least one was a repeat, so you may be right.
