Airplane Repo tonight

Recommended Posts

Anybody watch it? Rook Nelson on tonight w/ a pilot repoing some Otters from a DZ. Wingsuiting involved. I wonder how much of the show is real but it's entertaining.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;

Than never to have loved at all.

supposedly repossesing 3 twin otters from a DZ in Oneida County Wisconsin



HA!!

No Otters in that neck of the woods. Not even a DZ up near Rhinelander.

Baldwin or Superior are up that way (sort of), but Green Bay (Pulaski actually) is closer.

Accuracy in "Reality TV" isn't at the top of the priority list.

It was very accurate in making that Wisconsin DZ look identical to Skydive Chicago ;)

I thought the same....lol.
Especially when the repo dudes were sneaking around and the DC-3 wing/engine was in the frame.

Oh well, it's a mindless show that's easy to watch on Friday night.

Don't go away mad....just go away!

3 twin Otters? Seems unlikely.

the utv chase while tossing road flares to distract everyone while the first two took off. so she could then slide in and take the third was about as unlikely as i think is possible:S

The show is b.s. I caught an episode of him doing a repo on an otter in Ca. Wouldn't you know it, It's my home DZ in Lodi. I thought to myself wtf? No Way! I asked a couple people that had been around during that time. They said Discovery was there and everyone had to sign papers for release. It's more of re enactment type stuff. I just thought it was funny because the guy doing a repo hid after a sunset load and Security cars and jumpers were looking for him. I just laughed because the Airport does not have any security cars. Still the "Scenarios" are entertaining enough when nothing else is on.

Its almost to the point where you cant watch discovery. Too much drama. Especially Gold Rush, right before a break they are all yelling, screeching violin music is playing, and you see a truck headed for a cliff. When you come back from the commercial break, some guy stubbed his toe.....

yeah, it's fucking ridiculous. Discovery used to be cool. So did MTV and VH1. They've all morphed into something totally different and unwatchable. Fuck that shit. Go skydive. :D
