  • ALASKA WING MEN

DESCRIPTION

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.
