'Damn good pilot'

"A Buffalo Airways DC-3 made a hard landing Monday at the Yellowknife airport after its right engine burst into flames, 30 seconds after take-off."

I thought this would be of some interest, especially if you watched the television series on Buffalo Airways.

This followed my post 18:21 23rd August.
Here it is now 17:45 23rd August. You folks are supposed to be 10 hours or so behind us, give or take daylight saving.
How can you be ahead?

Thanks for that link, Nigel. I've certainly followed the adventures of Buffalo Airways through Discovery channel's TV episodes. It's amazing how close they are to the limit during so many of their flights. It makes wonderful TV.

I'm glad their experience made a crisis into nothing more than an everyday drama.
