- The Buffalo boys gather in Red Deer for Mikey’s D-Day tribute jump. Joe and Sam scout out the designated military drop zone over Abraham Lake in the Rockies only to discover the canyon is too narrow for the DC-3. So Joe cancels the whole thing-it’s too dangerous. Mikey uses Joe’s own philosophy against him: at Buffalo, there’s always a backup plan. Joe flies out to scout a new location for the drop on the lake but hits bad weather. As Joe is about to scrap the trip, twenty paratroopers from the Canadian and American armies arrive for the big jump and are ready to go. They board WZS and Joe takes off to a site he hasn’t scouted, in weather that just keeps getting worse. As they near the drop point, he finally calls it-no jump tonight. They turn back, with all the troops still on board. Mikey’s only hope is a narrow window first thing the next morning-but only if Joe gives the final okay.
It's in these situations you see why Joe has been a pilot for so long. Solid decision making and risk assessment.
what a show joe is sum operator they do make them like that any moor.
Sure glad the old man was PIC, making all the right calls is the only way to fly any mission! Go Buffalo Air !
Buffalo Joe ... They don't make'm like that any more ... Hell, I don't think they ever did. He's one of a kind.
Really cool the Canadians and Americans did this together. Looked to me like he had more than enough room to maneuver around that lake.
i was there the day they did this and im routinley flying in that area, it is major sketch balls
@@Jasshands1 kind of why i said looked like because the camera often doesn’t show the complete picture. Thank you…
I wish I could watch you every time
Early on in this episode you could tell in Mikey's face he was not digging this. At all.
I think I am with Joe on this one. That jump zone looks pretty sketchy to me. Of course I am no expert on this so my opinion doesn't carry much if any weight.
Whole thing was a bad idea.
oh the melodrama ...
how to steal mikey's thunder and make it all about joe, and come out smelling of roses - the 'hero'.
classic narcissism. 🥴
Think this was my favourite episode! What an awesome job! Next to this is the “Dambuster” reenactment! 👍🍻🇨🇦
Absolutely brilliant. Nothing beats this.
Oh, yeah, this task has had to have been Mikey's most stressful of his whole Ice Pilots work and career. I feel for him on this, phew.
Great clip
Lets be honest, Joe was also worried about Mikey's safety since parachuting isn't the safest thing but can't blame Joe for his concerns as a father.
Hope all goes well with the jump . What beautiful country .
an ashamed living pilot is much better than a proud dead one... is the lesson i got here.
no guts no glory. 🤟🤪
That was awesome!
really enjoyed this episode
Awesome I am awestruck for all you guys I prey for world peace always no one wants conflict wake-up world
You are right to mention Jesus Christ- He is man's only hope of salvation.
welcome to Roll the Dice airlines, where little regulation meets certain doom! Canada is like America without regulations and safety guidelines! weeeeeeeee :)
Hahahaha
