Last week, the Weather Channel launched a new aviation reality show called "Plane Xtreme" and Oddball pilot blogger Aidan Loehr is pretty excited about it.
The series, according to the Weather Channel, is described as an adventure show that chronicles the escapades of "an elite group of pilots who deliver small aircraft to points across the globe."
According to Loehr, who discloses he's a skeptic of reality TV, the show may actually be entertaining. At any rate, it certainly does not disappoint.
Loehor is most excited by the appearance of real-life coworkers, pilots Dave and Steve. He says Wings of Eagles, an "outfit" he's delivered planes for in the past, is featured as one of the "elite" pilot groups:
Does "ferry flying" interest you? If you're interested in seeing what it's all about, Plane Xtreme is a good place to start. The first two episodes of the show aired on The Weather Channel Monday, Oct. 15, but they will repeat again Friday night at 9:00 and 9:30 p.m.
Plane Xtreme will regularly air on Mondays at 9 p.m. with repeats on Fridays. Check your local listings or the the Weather Channel (here) to be sure. Loehr is scheduled to appear in next weeks episode "Double Delivery." He and another pilot are followed as they deliver two caravans to Nairobi. Don't miss it!
