Arctic Memories
I thoroughly enjoy this series, the flying and the personal struggles so realistically presented. I admire Buffalo Joe for eking a living out of flying ancient out-of-production war-birds, while keeping his operation running safely with low experience level pilots. I have memorable experiences in the Arctic on a U. S. Navy icebreaker to Thule Air Base in the summer of 1961, and flying twin radial engine Navy P-2 Neptune patrol planes in Alaska in 1965-67 and in the Sea of Okhotsk north of Japan. This series brings back many memories of cold weather operations. I enjoy every episode, but especially the C-46 engine change outside in -40C weather at Norman Wells by Chuck Adams, and the DC-3 landings on skis on a frozen river by Captain Justin Simle. Also love Mikie McBryan's cheerful resourcefulness. One of the few series I would watch over and over.
