As mentioned in earlier post Buffalo Airways had a flight into Voisey's Bay mine site earlier in the week.

The excitement this created is mainly due to Buffalo Airways being the subject of a TV show called Ice Pilots NWT, the show is very popular up these parts.

The airline has an eclectic fleet of 'senior' planes, some flights require a mechanic to go along in case something falls off.

Interesting. I'm sure Neal or Mark or Alan could tell me what kind of aircraft this is?
Wonder if someone in Aus will pick up that series Ice Pilots? I'd watch it!

They prolly tell you it is an L-188 Electra, Qantas had some back in the day, I think I read some place that this plan was once in Qantas fleet.
