Steel Buddies

Michael Manousakis and his wrench crew are drowning in work in the Westerwald, so the boss brings in new hires to interview. Meanwhile in Greece, his uncle's olive harvest is at risk.

Touchdown on Crete, and the Steel Buddies have to hustle: the crew's called in to fix a busted olive mill, with Julie backing them up. But the rescue turns into a near "mission impossible."

Michael sells a Russian helicopter, and his buddy Roland wants it as a rooftop eye‑catcher for his shop. Hauling out an amphibious vehicle proves to be another major challenge.

Michael and "Miss Morlock USA" inspect multiple vehicles at a partner's truck stop. Tempers flare in Sicily. Ingo battles his amphib -- stuck fast on the lowboy trailer.

Who needs a hammer when a well‑placed kick will do? At Zweibrücken Airport, it's "make it fit." Meanwhile, Julie heads to Italy to trace her family roots.

The team aims to whip an AM General M917 into shape in Zweibrücken, but the job drags on. Günther's old Ford Fiesta looks even worse. And what's the latest on the Douglas DC‑3?

With a saw, a steel pipe, and chains, the Steel Buddies rig an improvised hoist for the M917's 700‑kg gearbox. They also take on repairs to a replica classic for a dealer friend.

The Steel Buddies' DC‑3 in Zweibrücken is nearly finished. A full run‑through precedes final sign‑off by a certified aircraft inspector, so nothing derails it at the last minute.

A US technical inspector arrives to stamp the Steel Buddies' DC‑3, but at crunch time, the engines won't fire. Will the Berlin Airlift "Raisin Bomber" ever fly again?

Paint‑booth blackout: a blown fuse kills the lights at Günther's station, halting work. Meanwhile, Michael heads to Austria to load a US military Bell UH‑1 "Huey."

The US military chopper arrives at Mendig Airport; now the Steel Buddies "just" have to get it into the hangar -- easier said than done. Back in Peterslahr, a lucrative deal is in the offing.

Setbacks kept stalling the DC‑3 project, but the dream of getting airborne may finally come true. Robert's gold‑prospecting venture is also gaining momentum.

Persistence pays: in the Season 10 finale, Michael takes off for Greece, circling the Acropolis in a vintage Douglas prop plane.
