- When the generators in a town with thousands of people in remote North Canada break, the lives of the entire town is at risk. As a brutal winter is about to set in, without power the people will have no access to emergency services, warmth or facilities. Ace pilots are scrambled from Yellowknife and load up an old DC-4 warplane but they might not even be able to take off when there's a problem with the vital new generators.

"She is gorgeous by heart too" - What a lovey way of putting that.
Arnie Schrader was a legend. RIP buddy

My dad was a jet engine mechanic for the Air Force during Korea. I cherish all the stories he left me. He loved planes and we would go to airports just to watch them and activities on tarmac. Dad would use the binoculars and tell me the meaning of signals by ground crew. Dad loved to fly. I am terrified. R.I.P. daddy! ❤️
I miss this series...watched it on tv!!
I love that their license plates are literally polar bears, that is awesome 😂😂
These guys could fly on any airplanes, great pilots!
Watching Ramon vibe out is just the most wholesome thing
We used to watch skyking.
I lived in the NWT and losing your power in the winter there is not good. You'd be surprised how quickly a building will get cold without boiler recirculation pumps / furnace fans even when hunkered down. Yellowknife was a nightmare for power outages. Seemed like every single month that there was like a one-hour power outage or so.
I live in upstate New York which is nothing like the extremes of NWT but in normal terms compared to the rest of the country we get some of the worst winter weather and it isn’t unusual to see a cold front come thru with single digit temps and minus temps when adding the wind chill factor. Power outages are brutal and considered very dangerous that time of year around here so I can only imagine what it’s like over there.
@@nickpapagiorgio5056 We live in Northern Michigan . The power was out for 5 days during the winter . We were one of the few that had a old wood stove for such times .
I maintained a DC-3 in Alaska for 13 years during the 90's, people have no idea how much blood sweat and tears goes into keeping a machine like that in the air.
You are tuff you couldn’t pay me enough to do that job
Love, Love, ICE Pilots....Thanks for the UL......!
I've loved this series
So you don't love it anymore?
@@emtee5232 I knew someone would ask that, btw I still love it :)
Define love
@@a-bovea-ve-rage No I'm not sus 😂 I meant like but by loved, I mean I'd binge watch hundreds of those if it were possible
@@dbnmore i was surprised nobody had done so, so i thought let me ask
Kelly and Arnie would have made a beautiful couple, there’s chemistry there…. 😊
wtf dude he was old enough to be her father AND he was happily married.
Damn I’m so used to seeing documentaries about other countries that seeing one about Canada (where I live) is quite interesting especially NWT which we barely hear anything about.
You'd think they would get dimensions on the generator before they went to get it
Brilliant show this.
I would love to live up in the far north. Buffalo is probably the ONLY airline where a pilot can learn to fly old vintage airliners like the DC3, DC4, Electra, etc. Too bad they don't have a Lockheed Constellation. A Connie would look awesome in Buffalo Airways colors. Just wondering, wouldn't most homes in the NW Territories and the Yukon have wood stoves as backups for when the power goes off?
Some do but a lot of the modular style houses don't. I run a back-up generator to keep my furnace and recirc pumps running.
@@adbrucee Ah okay. I guess I was thinking along the lines of the old school Yukon cabin in which the old timers lived which were entirely heated by wood, and had no electric.
Heyyy love ur vids!!!
Really like this CZcams channel my favourite channels very interesting
Ramon is a very grateful man!
@12:25, Dear Mr. Narrator, please get your history facts straight: During the Berlin Airlift (June 1948 - May 1949) DC4/C-54 Skymaster hauled coal and food supplies to West-Berlin......not East-Berlin.
He did fine. Just miss spoke.
Why would you not measure the opening of the plane and the height of the generator BEFORE you made the flight?
@Jari Junior The generator was made to fit, but not with all the hardware and exhaust system on the outside. And it was not designed to fit with the mods they made to the floor of the aircraft. As I stated before, maybe they should have measured it ahead of time.
@@bigman55434 no wonder Buffalo Joe constantly gets fits of rage. His people measure and say the generator fits, But there is a snag, not with the attachments or the mods on the plane. Why even measure if you can't do it right.
Just looked up Buffalo Airways. They have a DC-3 that dropped paratroopers onto France on D Day.
This boy needs to learn about leverage 🥵😬
Put the generator on its side. Perhaps weld a small structural harness if it cant support weight on the side. Make sure to drain the fluids in generator. It was taller than wide
It was 1 inch from the far side as is
Two weeks now and i don't see any new video of "Plane Crash Investigation"...
I miss those series
@@loopie7364 yeah me too tho, i can't wait to see new one out there.
These airplanes, living in the fast lane...
Hang on to your hats, boys✈️😁
Love to fly
Wonder,why the latest mayday series uploaded can't be watch in some of the countries?
dc-3
i was in the marine corp so i now the life of a Pilot
Sister Air force
Brother NAVY
Big Brother Cost Guard
What about me sir
@@swipezios3273 you from scouts ?
@@MrOnemate yes
5:37 - if they talk about temperature, are the in °C, or °F? I almost assume, °F, because this old lady would not heat to 30°C on the inside, or would she?
Its in C. They are trying to get it heated up and defrosted so yes 30c wouldn't be unusual. Most houses are set at 21c so its not much higher.
Brought supplies into blockade in WEST Berlin. The Red Armee had east Berlin in this days.
👍🏻love it
Ayo you uploaded on my Birthday, Thanks for the gift lol
Bring back the other narrator and reeenactment movies
The lengthened herc must of got the power plants.
Would it have fit in the Electra?
Most likely but it guzzles $4000 of fuel an hour. So not viable financially unless fully loaded.
Freedom's in the air
Pls make the newly uploaded vedio of British Airways available for the people in India
To dear wonder: please upload a mayday episode in the philippines or make it available for us
search for the channel "Mayday: Air disaster" and "On the Move" they both have all the Mayday episodes.
i already know that but the prob is there has been no mayday eps since a Month
Funny, they all seem to be sane!
Thank you wonder shoutout from SWEDEN
Where IS MAYDAY ???
@Spandan Patnaik OH.
@Spandan Patnaik Well, I live I U.S.
search for the channel "Mayday: Air disaster" and "On the Move" they both have all the Mayday episodes.
DC 4. Just a beast !!!!!!
Lethally cold and this guy goes out in a bathrobe and slippers--"just for a minute". Very poor judgement. He is fired.
Jeremy such a baby I hope she gets promoted
Need saving, well maybe new planes that aren't in a constant state of breaking. Yeah old planes are cool but they are best left to the airshows, for business, total madness.
Arnie is the man ♥
Why didn’t they tell them, to take the mufflers and eye bolts off ready?
*@**17:19** ~ It’s absolutely ridiculous that the new girl Audrey is able to jump ahead of Jeremy by such a large leap. If the boss makes that decision then he absolutely would deserve to be punched in the face and knocked out, or have a bat take him to his ribs. For people to sacrifice their body and such horrible conditions for such a long time and then to be disregarded just because they don’t have any more options is terrible.*
I’m 100% fine with a female Rampy not being penalized for being physically weaker than the big guys. As long as people are doing what they’re physically able to do, that’s 100% reasonable. But to let her jump the line by such a huge leap is what is terrible.
WRONG. if they are paid the same, and sold the same career path, there is no way the girl should be given the easy way out. Women get the same chance for success as guys. Not more. Not less.
@@bigman55434 - Well I obviously disagree with you. It’s easy to make an argument that actually the female is working harder because a big guy can pick up 50 pounds much easier than 110 pound woman. So the woman theoretically has to strain much more in order to get the job done. So one could argue that the woman should be paid more. Different people bring different attributes to a job. But of course you’re replying to some thing that I really didn’t even mention.
@@iMatti00 paid more??😂
@@packrat76 - Well… I think you kind of missed my point. Didn’t say that I believe that a woman in that case should be paid more, I’m making a point that a woman is exerting a higher percentage of force based on her abilities per hour than a average man would be.
They deliver alot of Dell computers huh?
A lot. Two words
On the day of 37 years of kal 007
IM KINDA EARLY AND SURPRISED
Audrey leaves after 2 years... taking a job with another airline
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE NARRTOR
Truue, this is unwatchable
Ramesh seems like he care more for permanent residents card than flying lol.this company need to take more canadians pilots than people with work permits I guess.there is thousands of canadians new pilots looking for jobs out there nowdays.aviation is dead right due to covid and no jobs.i will apply soon and see if I will get job in this company.
Seems like a usa tv series !
I really dont think Roman wont last very long and is not cut out for this work. I beleive Roman will go back home time will tell.
my question is what does Mikey do exactly in this company besides being the son of his father ??
Operations manager I believe. His elder son is head of maintenance.
@Robert Watson
Mikey keeps customers happy with his charm. I'd like to see you do better!
He manages hunts planes down clinches deals phone work paper work .everything but fly.
Day 4 of trying to get famous of comments

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
why dont yall get a real plane
They need rear loading planes, like the HERC.
This sucks, bring back the Mayday series!!
Beggars can't be choosers
@@Rihardololz lol

What happened to the usual narrator ? This one sounds too generic like all annoying one's

Joe's a great man n pilot but that's the type of guy that will ruin a business in 2000s.....fast forward to 2015 he's been forced to take a back seat....
