Joe McBryan, owner and president of Buffalo Airways and star of Ice Pilots NWT, has signed a letter agreeing to step away from the day-to-day operations of the airline, according to a consultant working to help the beleaguered company have its suspended air operator certificate reinstated.

That’s good to hear,thanks for the news.

If they’re gone for god, I suppose they’ll be replaced by a bunch of young guys with white shirts (with epaulets of course) flying Dash 8s. Boring. 🙂

When my brother in law first watched Ice Pilots, he said it reminded him of Channel Airways
in it’s early days 🙂

Here’s hoping that they get things sorted soon, always enjoyed the series they seemed pretty down to earth people (no pun intended ).

If you want a scheduled DC-3 flight Whakatane is a lot warmer than Buffalo!

Arnie, actually!

The pilot that flew all of the drops in that dambuster re-enactment was named Artie.
They succeeded with the mission. He has since passed away.

Oh no, the great dambuster re-enactors are finished! (I think it was a Buffalo aircraft used in that documentary about the Bouncing Bomb)

hi,
I remember that programme it was good, and if I remember correctly they succeeded…

Joe seemed to always butting heads with the officials of the CAA – maybe they tired of it and decided this action? Shame if they go out of business as their fleet is pretty unique…
