Taking all of the above comments into consideration, we would like to ask you our readers whether or not you have seen an episode of Airplane Repo. There’s was a cut scene from inside the cockpit just as V1 is called, the attitude indicator is in a 60 degree bank and around a 15 degree nose down pitch. Just saw an episode where they “repod” a Beech Jet 400. Someone then posted a question to ask what happened to a reality show where they had a variety of people competing in flight training for some sort of prize, but then someone answered that the show only lasted about two episodes – no doubt because it could not compete with the Jersey Shore. Next new show, jersey shore cast gets the ppl and does the repos themselves ! The rest is drama for ratings, which I understand, the public wants drama. Totally staged and a joke, I would guess about 14 percent of what you see is really true. UAL T38 Phlyer concluded it was “staged, mindless spectacle for the uninformed” while rightside02 added: Now, unless this was done with the full blessing of the FAA (under the auspices of an ‘air show’), only a dunce would allow video of such an event to actually be broadcast. The guy who took the plane buzzed him repeatedly to drive him off. A ranch-hand gave chase to one of the guys on the ground. They took a Cessna from a ranch in Texas. I saw it the other night (surfing through it). On a Canadair, I assume they used more than duct-tape. That was the subject of a recent thread on the Airline Pilot Forum with a moderator under the pseudonym UAL T38 Phlyer pointing out:Īnd somehow, they always have time to mount belly-cameras-more than one-on these airplanes they are in a ‘hurry’ to takeoff with. However, just how real is the Discovery Channel’s Airplane Repo show? We have written a couple of times about the airplane repo business (see Risky business: Being an airplane repo man and Meet an airplane repo man) plus the Discovery Channel has even created a reality TV series called Airplane Repo where repo men chase multi-million dollar jets across America.
