Dangerous Flights

The pilots of a used airplane delivery business brave wild weather, dangerous airstrips and cover distances that small planes were never meant to fly.

Pilots walk off the job and the boss is forced to take the controls as two new pilots island hop a Bonanza to Brazil with a hurricane on their tail.

Pilots jockey a King Air from the UK to the U.S. while others hopscotch along a string of Pacific islands until a night landing trips them up.

A pilot duo in a sleek Phenom jet must ferry 19,000 km. from Australia to the U.S., skirting North Korean airspace with stops in Russia.

Down south, a fellow prop jockey helps Kerry and Stu navigate their way out of a Brazilian made bureaucratic maze.

Kerry and Stu battle storms, engine problems and a nasty stomach bug to ferry a single-engine Cirrus 19,000 kilometres from Singapore to the U.S.

Pilots are forced to take on the old run-down Cheyenne. High above a burning desert, pilots run into mechanical problems... in a single-engine plane.
