Thanks for all the feedback, it's definitely helpful as we start to put this thing together. I have read the Mens Vogue article, and seen Sky Truckers. Both were very good and a bit different than the direction we are hoping to take.

I'm trying to talk to folks from MK and SAFAIR, any others you'd recommend?

Aseanaero, thanks very much for the detailed input, we are definitely interested in doing projects on other types of pilots as well, but we are planning on doing an hour on Freight Dogs as sort of a "pilot" episode for a possible series on all types of pilots. We are definitely looking to film this in as many different countries as possible and would like to see a variety of types of freight and planes.

One other question; are there specific airlines or pilots who specialize in moving animals? I've read a lot about cargo planes hauling cattle, rhinos, giraffes, etc. or tons of crickets for zoos or whatnot. Is that something than any pilots can do or do a few airlines specialize in it? Just curious.
