  • N3N 'Nellie' from West Coast suffers a blown (literally) cyclinder and deadsticks into Jarvis Lake near Hinton, AB on it's ferry flight to Yellowknife after being bought by Joe McBryan of Buffalo Air. Engine replaced, it carries on and eventually gets to it's home on Back Bay in Yellowknife. Joe graciously takes me for a spin and we get a little more footage to complete the story! Keep 'er flying Joe!

    I would like to sit and listen to Mr Buffalo talk for hours. Listen to the stories of his life and adventures. I am 66 , an ex truck driver from Canada , only spent two seasons hauling fuel up to settlements in northern Ontario, but stand in awe at what this man and his team have done for Canada and the northern communities. An amazing man.

    Great video on the Navy N3N. Wish there were more as my dad trained in one during WWII then he bought a surplus one after the war. We have black and white pictures of when he and my mom and older brother(one year old at the time) flew from Chicago where they lived to my grandparents farm in NW Wisconsin and landed in the hayfield. My mom in the front cockpit with my brother in her lap!!! Also remember the story when my dad bought it in Cape Girardeau, Missouri sometime in the winter during record cold. Flew it back to Chicago at minus 30.
    I sure long for the Good Old Days!!!

    I remember this aircraft! This first photo of an N3N 'Yellow Peril' I saw was a copy of Air Classics featuring surviving vintage aircraft (by coincidence a Genairco that Kermit Weeks would buy was also featured). The N3N featured was recently made surplus by the USN, on wheels, dirty, oily and hammering its way to its new home. The article noted it was also made for floats to familiarize their pilots for the OS2 Kingfisher. I found some drawings of a float-equipped N3N in a 1943 copy of 'Aircraft of the Fighting Powers'. Kewl! A few years later in Aeroplane Monthly (I think), an article appeared about an float-equipped N3N restored on the BC coast. The story included a photo of the owner's grandkids(?) posing in the wingtip float! I believe this is the same aircraft Joe bought.
    Have a lot of fun flying it Joe though it a bit tough to flycast off the float!

    If you watched that television series one might conclude that Joe McBryan might be the world's worst boss but he's one fine aviator 😂 🤣 But another restored Stearman is only so interesting. Now, a Bellanca Aircruiser, on floats or wheels, *that* would be interesting! 😍
