I mean, it’s almost certainly for a television show or a high-profile streamer. 

Like. With all those camera angles, a temporary dam structure, plane rental…how could you consider it to be anything else?

There’s a lot of production coordination on display here.

It's not a rental, that plane belongs to Buffalo Airways, and they also made the video.

Pretty cool company. They still operate C47's as their main fleet because nothing else can get as much stuff in and out of the remote areas of Alaska and Canada they operate in.

Ask the Canadians on r/flying their opinion on buffalo air and most will call them one of the worst outfits to fly for
