New series "Worst Place To Be A Pilot"
I forget who the chap is on here who is a bush pilot in Indonesia (IIRC) - any association with the series I wonder?

New and visually jaw-dropping series following young British pilots flying for Indonesian airline Susi Air in some of the most breath-taking, remote and dangerous locations on earth.
Worth a watch. I forget who the chap is on here who is a bush pilot in Indonesia (IIRC) - any association with the series I wonder?

If you look at his blog, he mentions being on the tv soon!I forget who the chap is on here who is a bush pilot in Indonesia (IIRC) - any association with the series I wonder?
I couldn't remember his username/website, but had a feeling that could be the case..! Good man - I look forward to watching it.

Whilst I don't agree with the title it should be worth a watch if you can look past all the over-the-top dramatisation. Sadly in order to make an aviation show watchable for the average viewer it seems they have to do this. I suppose the reality is for most people, flying is pretty boring; if things are getting exciting, you're probably not doing it right!
For a small taste of the bits I'm in, I wrote a piece for the Huffington Post here last week: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/matt-dearden/worst...
Think I'm featured the last couple of episodes
Superb! And congrats - I've read your blog with much interest and was waiting for something like this to come along.

Yes, I know where you are coming from re: over-dramatisation, but I guess they have to make it appeal to (or catch the eye of at least) the masses.
Personally, from reading your blogs and watching your vids, I'd have called the show "The Best Place To Be A Pilot "
I'm sure it will be on 4od sooner or later.
And Moose, you did make a guest appearance in this episode if you didn't manage to see it yourself
Watched the programme with a big grin on my face - girlfriend turns to me afterwards and says "so you're going to get your CPL and head out there now then are you?"
