Dang, I'm so jealous!

I've been wanting to buy that DVD since it came out. How in the world did you get it? They will only sell that to Canadian residences/addresses. Since you're American, I'm assuming you either bought it while in Canada, or had a Canadian friend send it to you. If you can tell me a good way to "smuggle" that out of Canada, I would appreciate it!

warbird1,

My girlfreind bought it for me for my B-day. She said that she has a freind in Canada that sent it down for me. She talked to the producer and they are trying to find a way to sale it in the states.

I can purchase through their website for $39.95 plus $5.00 shipping. I would be happy to purchase for any WIX members and mail them across the border. The additional postage would be about $8.00.

PM me if interested.

Check out the http://www.buffaloairwear.com website. And their hot sauce is really good, too.

'It's a little room up front where the pilot sits, but that's not important right now'

Not much at this link the way of a formal description so here I go... It is a reality TV show set in Northern Canada featuring the day-to-day operations of Buffalo Airways. You may be aware that Buffalo operates DC-3s, DC-4s, L-188s and in Season 1 a single C-46. Since Season 1 they have acquired another C-46, so Season 2 should be interesting. It is reality TV, or close to it, so don't expect a deep story or anything glamorous. It does highlight the challenges of operating WWII transports as workhorses in an often difficult environment which I think would be a big seller for the crowd here on WIX. I give it two thumbs up.

Somebody had them streaming online for us U.S. watchers but it's since been taken down

Great show! Season 2 should be coming up.

While not quite the same, Flying Wild Alaska on the Discovery Channel (Friday nights) is kind of a bush pilot version of Ice Pilots.

All you need to do is change your PC's proxy to make it mimic a Canadian PC. Google is your friend.

Flying Wild Alaska is good but I prefer the big radials of Buffalo.

I found a way to be able to watch in the US. You buy a program called Hid My IP address.
It cost around 30 dollars, I know it's expensive but it beats not being able to watch the show.
Just wanted to pass this along.

Just found out that you need their premium service to be able to chose an IP address. I wish they would have put that some where before I bought their program. What a waste of money!

Noticed on one of the episodes when they panned around one of the airports there in the backround was the fuselage of a C-97 sitting on the ground, anybody else see it?

thanks for the info! Seems like a great show to watch. Anybody read angel flight 44 where they took a c-47 and flew in supplies to New Orleans after Katrina? Great book and how and old war horse can STILL do the job! When they built something back then....they meant business.
