    I'd never watched this show until the other night.

    Little did I know that my home airfield in Chesapeake, VA is actually in Texas, and a deadbeat cattle farmer keeps his King Air where I had my Arrow. Learn something new every day. :)

    Oh, "reality" TV...

    It's way over dramatized, but still interesting.

    Completely staged and choreographed in the studio.

    One of the frequent pilots, Mike Kennedy, is in a bit of trouble locally...something about a missing King Cobra snake. Lot of people are really pissed-off at him. Nearby schools have been on a recess-lock down for the past week.

    If you watch the first few episodes, season 0 as it is called, with Nick Popavich you will see the authentic type of operations that are zero drama. The later ones are obviously very produced and very dramatic with the three different guys..

    They claim the later ones aren't staged, yet there is time to affix various belly cams to the planes and various other "reality" nonsense.

    Indeed, and indeed.

    Fun to watch - but pretty hard to believe.

    The few I've seen lately freely admit "recreating" seizures.

    This would be a very interesting show if they took the Hollywood out.

    Having been involved in a few actual airplane repos, I disagree... unless you want pictures of pilots sitting around in the FBO waiting for the bank to call them back and tell them it's okay to take the airplane, or going through paperwork.

    Sometimes RIDICULOUSLY so.

    Like when they "took" a jet fighter. It was so staged my eyes rolled so much I got dizzy.

    I roll my eyes and giggle so often...

    Last year they took a SR22 out of a hanger, supposedly in Newport Beach, but couldn't take off because it had no fuel so they taxied it to the fuel pumps at Whiteman...

    Last week when they where trying to take the tour bus from a rock star in Florida they were actually in the parking lot of the Woodland Hills Marriot.... :)
