I used to love DW. A few years ago telewest dropped it from their line-up and replaced it with, "Men & Motors". I was furious!!. I picked up the phone and demanded to know why it had been replaced with a channel which shows "Topless Darts in Space". The polite reply from a young lady in the call centre was "Sir, we have discovered topless darts in space is a lot more popular than anything on Discovery Wings". I then watched said replacement and well, shall we say, I came round.

But lets face it, it used to be quite good, but as the previous points out, was increasingly lacking in things "Wings". I couldn't have watched another Airshow programme with John Nichols (sorry John if your reading!).
I used to watch Flight Deck though over and over again - the flight crew were hilarous in their choice of spectacles, for a start.
