- It’s Joe’s 69th birthday and he’s never flown a helicopter before. So Mikey plans a special gift of chopper flight lessons, complete with surprise pickup in front of the Buffalo hangar. Mikey jumps in for the ride as Joe struggles with the unfamiliar beast - and both McBryans will learn if they’ve finally found an aircraft that Joe can’t master. Another cold snap has cut off heat and power in a small northern town. AJ and James battle a frozen engine before they can head up with a load of supplies. On the way home, an engine fire forces the crew into an emergency shutdown.

Like Joe, I flew a heli on a milestone birthday (40th). That's where the similarities end. He has more flight knowledge in his earlobe than I have or will have.
Hang on to your hats boys!
When I first tried flying a helicopter I said to myself, "I'll never get this right". Then before I knew it after going up a few times it became second nature to me.
That's also a MUCH easier helicopter to hover than smaller pistons, or even smaller turbines.
That voltage was so low there had to be something wrong with the electrical circuit itself, not just cold batteries. I am no pilot, but I can analyze that much. Taking off with that bad indication is something in a pattern at Buffalo: they play with danger to the point where they are going to hurt or kill themselves. In other words, they never should have taken off from Norman Wells without a full electrical system checkout. Another thing: Why can't they install a canvas curtain (in addition to the hanger doors) so that it can be opened and closed quickly, just big enough to get a plane in or out, thus saving heat? Final step, close solid doors, and move canvas out of the way. Those people are stuck in a stupid and downright dangerous pattern and refuse to think things out like this. I'm starting to lose sympathy with the bunch of 'em.
In later episodes there are curtains hanging.
awesome video, but please... they are not yaw pedals, they are anti-torque pedals... 😎👍
Why is it so complicated let the engine idle for a few minutes
fuel prices
Esta vaina es un robo a mano armada, un engaño, una estafa. Compre la tal caja misteriosa y me llegó una cajita pequeña, del tamaño de una caja de galletas, en ella venia unos audifonos ordinarios, que en el mercado valen unos veinte mil pesos colombianos. No se dejen estafar.
