Anybody seen them before? Looks like it was or is aired on Discover channel in Canada but I've been watching them on Youtube. The company is based here in the US though. Basically it is ferry pilot drama. Added drama for sure but still decent to watch. A lot better than Airplane Repo. I can't stand that show! But here is the link for those interested. Again not sure how old they are..

If it is about a ferry company that is taking planes from Florida to Africa, it appears on the Weather Channel here in the US.

One of the pilots used to be active here (the one who owns the brewery)

No this is a different one...They take most of these planes to Brazil. That one was plane Extreme from the weather channel.
 
Seems like a good show.

However saying "old single engine cessna" all the time gives viewers the idea that old single engine cessnas are very dangerous, while realistically you have planes flying around that are twice as old.
 
I hadn't seen it prior to last week but now I'm hooked. Parts seem a bit "staged" but very entertaining nevertheless!
 
I've been watching Airplane Repo and have found myself shaking my head at some of the 'over-the-top' dramatizations. What a coincidence that in nearly every episode, the debtor owner of the airplane being taken suddenly appears at the airport. What a joke! And I'm still trying to figure out how an airplane repo specialist doesn't fly and travels with a highly conspicuous body guard. That's like a car repo specialist without a tow truck or drivers license. Give me a break!

I'm always interested in aviation related programming and will check it out. Meanwhile I hope they turn down the drama on Airplane Repo or just scrub the show. There's enough drama in the shows my wife watches.
