For those of you interested in this awesome tv show, the second series starts TOMORROW night on Discovery channel!! I think it may also be available for web viewing somewhere for those who don't have sky.......Don't trust me on that though biggrin.gif

I tried to watch the first season, it just started to irritate me though. When did the daughter get the idea that it was all about her?

Too right, didn't seem to be as much aircraft action- kinda want to see more flying, less crab dancing and putting planes in a hangar (although it must of been difficult, I'll give him that) wink.gif

I think it was just Discovery trying to cash in on Ice Pilots.

I wont. I think Ice Pilots is more about the aeroplanes.

Yes I suppose I have to agree on that point, but I think that it's just a bit too much Ice Road truckers for me dry.gif

Those 207's with the tundra tyres are beastly though. Loved the episode where the birdstike covered the gopro on the strut with blood and guts.
I prefer this one to Ice Pilots personally.

It was the daughters 'flying lessons' that ruined it for me.

Yeh but the aeroplanes arnt that spectacular to start with and that girl might be hot but I think she might be one of the 10% that shouldnt be in the air.

Keeps me focused on the sreen.

And yes, she is a hottie : ) She plays the camera well, I'd marry her if I was single smile.gif

Its not the worst Ive seen but it sure aint the best either. I just like the DC4 and C46 more I guess. Theres another one called Alaska Wing Men, its a little show off ish and theres a couple of douches in it but theres some quite cool flying. Would you actually marry her?? I dont think I could put myself through that! Id jump and run if you know what I mean, I am a red blooded male after all. I reckon her sister is hotter.
