    Wonderful! The whole video was amazing. The last part with Arnie had me tears for 20 minutes. Wish I could have known him. However the whole film about the "cowboys" had my full attention. A tribute to them all!!!

    The passing of Arnie is a reminder for me that the world is gradually lossing the original DC-3 and C-47 pilots who were trained back in the years when those planes were the main planes of transport. As the good old WWII heroic general MacArthur said on his final speech leaving the military, "Old soldiers never die, the just simply fade away!" Rest in ethernal peace Arnei and you will always be remembered!

    Wow, I didn't know the passing of someone you've never met or known could affect me so much, but it was how he left such an impression on others, and the great dignity with which Buffalo accorded and honoured him that made me in tears. Not very often these days do you feel like saying those are "good people", but everyone you saw during the last half of the show sure made you feel that there are some still left.

    I watched the full 9+ hours 'binge-watch' of the full Season 1 just the other day. Never seen it before and today, this was recommended to me. Made me sad but I also felt the love these people all had for Arnie. How cool that would be to have so many people whose lives you have touched and to honor you in such a humbling way. It gives me pause as my wife and I both are in our golden years and we live and love each day as though they were our last.

  • @SnuffitLabs

    My granddad was a pilot of a DC-3 (modified and called a C-47 in the Army Air Force) while he served in the great World War 2 and I was recently gifted with his flight training books and materials. My granddad loved the DC-3 and I remember my uncle telling me how granddad said how tough of a plane it was. My granddad died a few months after retiring in the 1970s when I was 6 and I always imagined him flying his DC-3 and teaching angels how to fly (like kids seem to do) and I guess there's another plane in the flight now. I barely knew my granddad, but I'd like to think he was a lot like Arnie. Whenever I look at those flight books, I'll remember Arnie.

I have been watching the show since day 1. I think Joe is an amazing pilot also and you could tell they had a lot of respect for each other. I was at work about a year ago and I saw a 4 engine plane coming in for a landing near our local airport, I think it was a DC-4. It was so awesome to see one in person.

    It was sad he was one of the greats. My father was a pilot and I got to fly with him most of my younger years i soloed at 16 with 1.5 hr.s in the air with a instructor at 16 but my uncle let me take his plain up at 13 by myself. My father had a picture of it and didn't know it was me For a while. But I had dyslexia and couldn't read so I couldn't pass the test to get my license. So I couldn't become a pilot like he was but he was a great guy and I really liked this show with him in it. Definitely a sad show.
