A landing gear emergency - Ice Pilots NWT S04E07 - Go Xplorer

When South Korean buyers come to Buffalo to look at a water bomber, the pressure is on mechanic Cory to get the plane ready. But a landing gear emergency puts him and chief pilot Justin in serious danger. Rod and Mikey salivate over a fleet of P-3 Orion water bombers up for auction at a California fire fighting conference.

I'll bet sensors and gauges malfunction more than they do report positives. Thanks for the video!

They just happened to have a camera pointed at the little window Cory had his arm sticking out of by the malfunctioning landing gear. My oh my...how convenient.😂😂

Too much pressure put on the 215 in freezing conditions....

Hang on to your hats boys!

Engine problems with an engine that was last produced in 1960… I can’t see a reason for any issues.

😄

[@canislupis3129]

How can it be legal for such old planes to be flying. Especially in freezing conditions that it is NOT meant for?

[@andrewcullum8437]

Hmm flying an Aircraft that's got no anti ice facilities in -35 and below, seems questionable to me....

[@thegregdavieschannel]

Low temperature alone doesn't mean icing. You need some moisture too.

They do their operations in terms of de-icing pretty safely, hence one of the reasons why they haven't gotten any fatal crashes for quite a wile.
