They need a dozen Chuck’s and it’s not enough. Hats off to Chuck!
Joe wants the plane in 2 days. It sat for 6 yrs thus requiring an extensive annual inspection completed before the plane could be deemed airworthy..20k? Ah, maybe a ferry permit
In this episode Joe's temper boiles over ha in the next episode Joe's temper boiles over again 😂
I worked for a 135/121 operation in Alaska throughout the 90's as an A&P, and yes it takes numerous maintenance personal to make the operation go, but I can guarantee everybody that within any shop like that, there's only a few mechanics who really get stuff done with the aircraft.
A&P store in AL?
Everyone who wants to go into amy kind of management should watch Joe in this series and do the opposite of what Joe does.
Wondering why he didn’t keep 1 or 2 of the DC-4 aircraft as a backup or reserve aircraft for his other DC-4 cargo aircraft? With so few left in flying condition it sad to see them go to the bone yard for spare parts. Too me the DC-4 is such a beautiful aircraft and the one I’d choose to fly if not the Lockheed Electra. Also wondering why he doesn’t look into the P3 Orions?
Nice Aero Union tanks on the DC-4s. Should fit right onto an Electra.
There goes joe AGAIN!😊
Man, there's nothing compares to the sound of a round motor!
its a PBY CATALINA
I understand why chuck gets really pissed off some times. I am a automotive technician and I’m the same kinda guy that fixes stuff when nobody else can figure it out. All the time I have mechanics working for me that can’t figure out a problem so I get forced into working on it and when I’m done the mechanics tell me they have never done that job before and many times I haven’t either. With cars if you have say a check engine light you type it into service information, read up on how that system works because if you don’t know how it works how are you going to figure out how it doesn’t work and then you print off a flow chart and it has all the tests so you can figure it out all you need to do is read. But guys are lazy and don’t want to learn so the smart guys get screwed the smart guys have to non stop do the complicated work while the lazy guys get the easy work. The lazy guys complain they don’t make enough money and I always tell them ur pay check is in ur hands in the business if you wanna make more you need to know more. A 28 year old guy can make 100k a year while a 55 year old guy makes 50k a year because the younger guy knows more and is always learning. I tell them you can train a monkey to change an engine but diagnostic and electrical work is something you need to learn and that’s where the money is at but nobody listens. I hate reading but that’s how I learned a lot
No one has any common sense anymore and it's easier to change a whole part rather than dismantle it and repair it!..In my day you fixed things down to component level but nowadays you can't buy parts and so just throw it in the trash to become landfill.
Bout time you think of modernizing the fleet.
True outdoor hunstmen would have cleared the ground of leaves and debris from around the fire before starting it to minimize the risk of it spreading. Also anyone with common sense would know that when a vacuum sealed pack of sausages has swollen up, its filled with gas from the meat inside going bad...
Hey Buffalo , there are many C-130's that would fill the bill and most likely less cost . Just sayin .
There aren't THAT many C 130s out there that are airworthy or priced right like you are saying .
That's What I was wondering,c-130. 👍
I believe they covered this in a previous episode. C130,s would seem like a perfect fit for buffalo but something about the canadian authorities not being keen on civilians operating ex military hardware gets in the way and civilian spec C130,s are a rarity.
C 130s would cost way more. And also they can’t be put into civilian service in Canada.
The poor bastards can't even hunt now. Shame what's happened to Canada.
What do you mean?
Too bad
Can’t believe they just let them sit there for 6 years. That’s a lot money sitting there doing absolutely nothing out in the open environment that’s only losing its value due to Mother Nature. If it had been sitting in a hanger and taken care of it would be a bit of a different story.
It's hard to be a good mechanic and not crab all the time. It's like 1.Take wrench in hand 2. Resume swearing. And a good mechanic is a tad lazy too otherwise he couldn't absorb all the nonstop noids.
It a shame there isn’t hanger space for these treasured antiques. So much expense and waste of planes.
I'll take Sasha out!
In your dreams

That mechanic, Chuck, is REALLY REALLY annoying. What a whiner, always complaining and blaming others. He should have been sacked years ago.
Chuck’s a great mechanic he gets bored of the every day bullshit he needed a break nobody likes a whiner if you’re whining you need to get a away, stop drop and roll
I know he comes back to buffalo it’s stressful if you have to whine to get what you want and you’re definitely not happy so move on and he does but he comes back he needed a stress dump🤪💯👏😂
