A must see for all aviation buffs..

Ice Pilots NWT is a 13-episode docu series about an unorthodox airline in the Canadian North. Yellowknife-based Buffalo Airways flies WWII-era propeller planes - big old aircraft built by “Rosie the Riveter” and pretty much unchanged. Rookie pilots defy bone-chilling temperatures to fly cargo and passengers through blizzards, breakdowns and transatlantic journeys. It’s an impossible job in a merciless place. Ice Pilots NWT gives viewers a rare look at life “north of 60.” With the economic downturn, a dwindling supply of specialty aviation gas and the high cost of flying vintage aircraft, the very future of Buffalo Airways hangs in the balance.
