A day in the life at Buffalo Airways, as a rookie co-pilot faces an emergency landing, a hot- shot young flyer gets thrown into the hot seat and the boss’ son gets in hot water.
Co-pilot Scott Blue slogs it out on the Buffalo ramp to prep the vintage Curtiss C-46 Commando for its daily supply run. He’s anxious to build more flying time to get the experience he needs to become a captain. And finally, he gets to fly with captain AJ Decoste. But the trip turns into much more than either of them bargained for when a faltering engine and low fog force one of the toughest landings of their lives.
Meanwhile, new arrival Alex Wagner, up north to learn to fly the Douglas DC-4, must prove himself when Buffalo’s chief pilot gives him control of the 20-ton plane for the very first time. And long-suffering Mikey McBryan must redeem himself when a breakdown with his father’s Douglas DC-3 forces Joe to call the backup plane into service – but it’s nowhere near ready.
