"There's just something about these old tanks that intrigues me, like how much longer are they going to be flying? They've been saying that for 30 years now and they're still going... but this is the end of an era."

Scott Blue has an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage planes, but is too tall to fly most of them. The only plane Scott co-pilots is the C-46, a plane facing a parts crisis that could ground it for good. Hoping that it will open a door into the CL-215 firebombing squad, Scott spends his own money to get his floatplane rating. Then, unexpectedly, the company offers to train Scott as a flight engineer on the Electra. This means more flying and less office work for Scott, who still oversees rampie hiring. His approach: talking the wannabe pilots out of the job by telling them how hard it is. If they're still up for the challenge, they just might be Buffalo material.
