Alaska Wing Men

Airplanes are the lifeblood of Alaska, transporting critical supplies and rescuing the lost and injured in areas where roads don’t reach. But violent weather and extreme terrain make these the most dangerous skies in the country, and bush pilots often go beyond the call of duty to get the job done. The three-part special “Alaska Wing Men” goes inside this perilous profession to witness firsthand the risks they face. Alaska Wing Men is an American documentary television series on the National Geographic Channel. The show primarily follows the daily lives of bush pilots that fly to and from various small rural villages throughout Alaska. The series premiered on January 10, 2011
