In 2011, Buffalo Airways was involved in a recreation of the historic Dam Busters raids of World War II, flying the mission, with their own plane and pilots. Buffalo dropped an inert reproduction of the 'Upkeep' bouncing bomb from their Douglas DC-4. The project was documented in the television show "Dambusters Fly Again" in Canada, "Dambusters: Building the Bouncing Bomb" in the UK, and "Nova" season 39 episode "Bombing Hitler's Dams" in the US. A behind-the-scenes look was also filmed in the "Ice Pilots NWT" season 3 episode 2 show "Dambusters".
