Although it isn't a "polished" production in which mainly the more scenic and romantic aspects get shown, e.g. Bush Pilots building hours in Botswana, from a professional point of view it is good to be reminded of the realities and risks of ferry flying in remote locations.


To me this program is a breath of fresh air, telling it like it is, warts and all. The pilots reminiscing in the group were being remarkably frank about some of their own mistakes and their interactions shown in the different aircraft have complete authenticity.


Some of the situations presented could be used in CRM training sessions and the repetition of how potentially dangerous it is to be working to a deadline in aviation is something we should all take on board. Andrew Bruce of Far North Aviation at Wick airport, a regular stopping point for the Atlantic ferry flights, hammered this point home.


I'm eager for the next episode!
