An excellent reminder that there really are good reasons to do a
thorough preflight and to make sure the controls are free. This
happened just north of Winnipeg, and the aircraft was the first version
with PT-6-67 Turboprops. The Canadian DOT concluded that the control
locks were still locked when the aircraft took off.

Certainly not to refute what you say about external/internal
preflight inspections but there's something wrong with this film.

This isn't a Buffalo I think, it's a Caribou with two radial
engines I believe, the Buffalo was derived from the Caribou

No, it isn't a Buffalo. As the text on the web site says, this is a
Caribou with an after-market conversion to turbo prop. Why did you bring
up Buffalos?
