Dutch TV is only now showing the AIRLINE series which aired in the UK last Summer. I recently watched the episode featuring Captain James McBride riding his motorcycle to work, taking a detour to the approach end of the runway, and excitedly watching one of his orange jets landing. How wonderfully refreshing to see a man of his pilot status and experience still able to manifest so much genuine raw enthusiasm watching aeroplanes. He is truly an inspiration to all would-be pilots and other aviation professionals. I echo a comment made in PPRuNe at the time that he should have his own TV series! Oh, and Georgie was great too!
