Farewell to the Last Electra - Aviation History in the Making

Step inside Buffalo Airways for a wild ride - engine failures, epic water bombing, and a historic Electra send-off all in one episode! Aviation history and adrenaline collide here. This action-packed episode follows Buffalo Airways as they face one challenge after another. Watch Devin take on a tricky water bombing test in the DC-4, only to suffer a dramatic engine failure right before fire season. The crew scrambles to fix the aircraft, showing what it takes to keep these vintage planes in the air. Meanwhile, Buffalo Joe embarks on a mission to England, raiding Atlantic Airlines for precious Lockheed Electra parts and securing the very last Electra still flying in the UK - a move that could change Buffalo's future. You'll also get an inside look at the legendary DC-6 "Swingtail" acquisition, one of only two ever made, and see how Buffalo's team makes history with these rare birds. Back in Yellowknife, the action shifts to the soapbox derby, where engineering know-how (and a secret stash of aircraft grease) propels Buffalo's underdog racer to victory. Between cross-country parts runs, emotional farewells, and hands-on bush fixes, this episode is packed with real aviation grit, humor, and heart. If you love classic aircraft, behind-the-scenes airline drama, or just a good underdog story, you won’t want to miss this episode.
