Not Ice Pilots--for sure

Post by zed »

Came across something interesting I'd share...

http://www.bush-air.com/

Its too bad we aren't likely to see it coming to our TV's anytime soon. But if someone knows different... From the looks of it, it will be a reality sort of show. Sort of a mix between Ice Pilots, meets Cops, with Africa as the background. Wonder if they are going to stream it.

The trailer for the show can be found on youtube at:

Comes across as; have no idea what you're doing, use poor judgment, survive, make a mental note, call yourself 'expert' and sucker new pilots into the thrill of mis-adventure, video tape it. Cool safari shirts for sale in the lobby.

Looks like a mix between Dog The Bounty Hunter, Crocodile Dundee, Cops, Timothy Treadwell, David Lee Roth, and Joe Dirt with a few airplanes thrown in to make it interesting.

Well I'd watch it, probably a little corney but what show on aviation isn't? Got some cool landing spots and a takeoff down hill on a country road with a pretty girl along, who wouldn't want to do that.

David Lee Roth, HA HA!

I saw a bio on this guy a while back. Semi interesting. I think it might be worth watching.

He He. Interesting. Incidentally, I wonder what Cessna's involvement is - I mean we can all tell it's a Cessna aircraft, but the general public would be clueless of that fact (except that to them a small airplane is automatically a Cessna) if it weren't for the massive and very visible Cessna shoulder patch he's wearing in the still shot of him.

C'mon though folks, who wouldn't want to be taught exactly how to do a flyby or exactly where to shoot a VW bus to have it explode on you? I've always wanted that job where I could land somewhere in the bush and help the cops chase the bad guys down with a gun; That is all valuable knowledge and experience! Three days seems a little rushed, but I guess it works on the principle of sink or swim, huh?

Also the mind boggles at what you have to do to your body to get a face that looks like that when you are in maybe your early forties.......

Yup, it's her, she went there last last fall and did some shooting, flying and skydiving.
Right now she's doing the airshow circuit in Europe.


Good eye!
