Alaska Wing Men is a new three-part series on the National Geographic channel and is available in HD.
IT'S ALL FLYING ALL THE TIME with amazing quality footage!
I caught a bit last night where they put a camera in the Cessna 150 with a very-capable flight student making her 150 mile solo to a short gravel airstrip. She's tracked by her CFI-father.
They also follow a commercial pilot who flies charter in an Grumman amphibian - landing on the water and taxiing up the dock to the shore. Way, way cool.
There's no link to a show page - each episode is separate - but you can check the schedule to see when the shows will repeat. Or use Google to find each of the three episodes.

If you have a TiVo like me you can set a season pass for the series and get all three episodes.
Even before it airs, I'll lay money that these three episodes smoke the new reality series on Discovery, which may be why Nat Geo got them out.
