Airplane Repo

[Mcphisto]

I enjoyed the first series of this a few years back with Nick Popovich so imagined I was in for more of the same, slightly contrived but watchable.
Pity Discovery have felt the need to ham it up to try and make it more "interesting" At one point It felt like I was watching Lizard Lick Towing
They even put up a disclaimer at the end saying that the show is a re-enactment and that "select dramatisation" has been used. Ruined what could have been an Interesting Programme IMO.

Watched it last night surprisingly enjoyed it, much better than that lizard lick towing.

Jeeeeesus. Taking the bizjet then a few seconds after take he gets a master warning and dropping hydraulic pressure!

The Popovich series was more factual but the second series was probably better tv. I enjoyed both.

I thought it was scripted over dramatised rubbish with crap acting from the supposed professional 'repo men'

Garbage.

Not as good as the first series, but still interesting.

They must be risk takers. Taking a plane out of the back of a hanger, I'd be wondering why it's at the back not at the front....

Because it has outstanding finance

Or they can't afford to repair it.

Or a million other reasons.

Anyone see this weeks?

Dumb sts they are.

First of all they lose the airplane maintenance records, then the plane. Then when they find the plane they are so busy celebrating they are spotted and the debtor aborts his landing. A quiet discreet approach would have worked so much better...

It's OK, but you don't know which parts are real and which are recreated for dramatical effect.

Quite why they have to sneak around in the dead of night, dodging airports security I don't know. Surely they can just speak to the airport manager, show them the proof of ownership and then have their co-operation in recovering it.

Nice to see Discovery Turbo showing this again. Series 2, so a lot of recreated footage but still an enjoyably cheesy watch.
