Reviews of Buffalo Airways Ltd (Doctor)

(Translated) Board the DC3 on Buffalo Air. The only airline in the world is still flying this type of airplane. The plane will also appear in the Discovery Channel reality program “Ice Pilot”. The cabin is old and the atmosphere of the 1960s, but the chairs are quite comfortable. Mr. Patrick, a parser / communication officer / pilot apprentice, provided in-flight services for coffee and snacks. Pilots and co-pilots are also young in their 20s. Young people are playing an active role in the north. The DC3 aircraft has been active on local routes around the world since it first appeared in aviation history as the first passenger aircraft in the 1930s. There are 21 seats. Speaking of which, it will also appear in movies set around “Casablanca” or around the Second World War. It was impossible to fly with sight in the blizzard state, taking off and landing. However, although the aircraft was old, it was well-maintained, and it was a stable instrument flight with the latest equipment. The landing is very smooth and, as expected, I am impressed as a bush pilot who must fly under any circumstances. (Original) バッファローエアのDC3に搭乗。この型の飛行機をまだ飛ばしているのは、世界でもこの航空会社だけだとか。ディスカバリーチャンネルのリアリティ番組「アイスパイロット」にもこの飛行機が登場します。機内は古めかしくて60年代の雰囲気ですが、イスはけっこうゆったり。パーサー兼通信士兼パイロット見習いのパトリック君がコーヒーやスナックの機内サービスをしてくれました。操縦士と副操縦士も20代の若さ。極北の地では、若い人たちが活躍しています。 DC3型機は、1930年代に初の旅客機として航空史に登場して以来、今も世界のローカル線で活躍中。座席は21席。そういえば「カサブランカ」とか第二次世界大戦前後を舞台にした映画にも出てきますね。離着陸も上空もブリザード状態で有視界飛行は不可能でした。でも機体は古いけどよく整備されていてガタピシいうこともなく、最新機器で安定した計器飛行でした。着陸が非常に滑らかで、さすがはどんな状況下でも飛ばなくてはならないブッシュパイロットだと感心至極。
