Nice find! Looks like it's going to be a very well done series. I like the documentary/interview format.

Sounds like the producers need to be invited to do a backcountry segment.

Thats a great idea, someone should contact them and put that bug in thier ear!

Looks like they have the bush pilot/backcountry pilot thing covered.




Can't wait to watch it!

Yeah, but did they hire a BCP member as a consultant?

They made it look like a C-17 was a C-5.....so very very very wrong! C-17's will not carry as much as a C-5 but boy howdy we'll do alot more amazing things! lets see them takeoff and land in under 2000ft!

oh and this show looks awesome! What channel is it going to be on????!!!!

I read about the show in my "Canadian Aviator" magazine. Its produced by John Lovelace, of "Wings over Canada" fame. The article in the magazine said it was to be picked up by PBS. But that can all change before then.

With a seemingly constant PR assault on aviation via reports in the news of crashes, federal budget woes, TSA paranoia, general public worrying about 172's crashing into their houses, etc, I think something like this is really going to be the only viable way of appealing to the next generation. You have to put in on TV, in HD, in front of their faces, and say "hey look at this, it's magic and it's important."

I'm very happy that Lovelace is doing this.

Looks like it won't start on PBS til this fall. Sounds like a great series, I'll tune in forsure

There is a brand new movie (documentary) that just was released out of Alaska last week entitled, "Alaska's Bush Pilots...Th Real Deal". A no b.s. sotry about these men, their airplanes and what they do in the remote wilderness. I found it on a website that is; www.alaskasbushpilots.com ( copy/paste). It looked very interesting and right down the pike for anyone interested in flying up there. Giant grizzlies! Yikes!
