Ice Pilots NWT (2009)

S5E4 Gear Lock

After his last spare DC-3 engine fails, Joe recruits ex-Buffalo pilot Devan Brooks to retrieve another aircraft from Quebec. Tasked with flying 3,000 kilometers in a DC-3 that has been dormant for seven years, Devan encounters a serious hydraulic leak at a critical moment. Meanwhile, a severe cold front immobilizes the hangar, leading to a significant landing gear issue on the overnight flight to Hay River. Captain Justin Simle must quickly decide how to handle the emergency, all while carrying a full passenger load that includes his newborn son.
