It's the last frontier. And these are the last of the true Arctic aviators. Young pilots with a taste for adventure have come to Buffalo Airways to earn their wings, flying vintage steel built for war. But it"s a different war; a war against bitter cold and constant breakdowns' and a war to get the job done and to stay alive in the toughest conditions on the planet. The job: to haul people' fuel and vital supplies to far- flung outposts in the Canadian North.
