Clothing Company, Television Show and Media
In 2007, Buffalo Airways started to produce a clothing line that included t-shirts, hoodies and hats. With the introduction of the Canwest Global, now Shaw Media, television show Ice Pilots NWT, Buffalo has expanded their clothing company to feature over 30 products and launched a full service product website called BuffaloAirWear.com. The show which is produced by Omni Film Productions and shown on History Television features the day-to-day operations at Buffalo Airways.
In 2011, Buffalo Airways was involved in a recreation of the historic Dam Busters raids of WWII, being selected as the company to fly the mission, with their own plane and pilots. Buffalo would drop a recreation 'Upkeep' bouncing bomb from their Douglas DC-4. The project was documented in the documentary 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".
On July 27, 2012, Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, flew up from Edmonton to Yellowknife with Buffalo Airways. On July 28, Dickinson, who holds an airline transport pilot's licence, flew a Douglas DC3 to Yellowknife and spent a day being filmed as a guest star for a season five episode.

Famous quotes containing the words clothing, television, show and/or media:
“Indeed, I thought, slipping the silver into my purse ... what a change of temper a fixed income will bring about. No force in the world can take from me my five hundred pounds. Food, house and clothing are mine for ever. Therefore not merely do effort and labour cease, but also hatred and bitterness. I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Lora May: How do I look?
Sadie: If I was you I’d show more of what I got. Maybe wear something with beads.
Lora May: What I got don’t need beads.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
