Really cool video! I think it is Indopilot in much of the video. That is some great flying and some great looking mountain strips.

Looks like Indopilot. That was a lot more fun than most aviation shows, they were a little less over-the-top with their pronouncements of hazards than some of the other flying shows I've seen.

Yeah, when the hazards are real, there's no need to embellish.

Doesn't stop all the Alaska shows from manufacturing extra.

I also noticed this one seemed to stick with the right airplane during any particular segment. Seems like splicing a 185 and a 206 into footage of a flight by a caravan is standard quality control for other shows.

The others could learn a lot watching this one--but then, maybe not! "Learning" requires some thinking, something which seems to be missing from the producers/directors of most "reality" shows, no matter what the topic.

Re: Worst Place To Be a Pilot

The production company emailed me the other day to say Discovery Channel will be showing the series in the US early this year. They wanted a mini-update from all the pilots featured so they could tag a "where are they now" bit on the end of the last episode. Not sure if it'll be the same 4 par, one hour long each version or the 10 part half hour long version that's been shown in a few countries with additional footage.

Will keep you all posted!

That would be awesome if Discovery show this!

I just hope that they don't ruin it with all of the fake drama crap that they insert into everything else they broadcast in the US.
