Ironic and tragic timing, but an MSNBC crew was just in Yellowknife a few weeks ago doing a story on Buffalo for it's presentation on the 100th anniversary of flight. There are a couple of excellent stories and slide shows on their website and the first one has pictures and audio of Jim giving the reporter a tour of their operation. The second slide show and story can be reached from the link about the DC-3 half-way down the first story.
