    As with all of these reality shows, the flying, the planes, the people are fantastic. I don't know who writes the narrative because the narration is terrible. If they would just get rid of the narration and let the pilots and the people talk it would be great.

      I agree. The music, the way it's edited, the narrators script. SO MUCH DRAMA!!!1! I think the camera crew filming the hunters was so happy to have them saying they needed help that they decided to show it 3 times in a minute 😂

      Completely ignoring the fact that the camera crew must have a safe place to stay? Not to mention you can see a boat in the water while the plane is taking off from picking them up. I am guessing the camera crew was coming and going daily by boat. Love the content of these shows but the drama is unbearable.

      Exactly. How many times did they keep saying the alternator quit working when in fact it was working and had to be shut off because it was over charging the batteries.

      The narration is overly dramatic. Unnecessarily so. It makes it to where it’s almost comical and has the opposite effect of what was intended.

    Fun times......brings back memories. Bob gave me my very first flying lesson, it only took a couple of lessons to realize a Cessna 150 bored him to death! He was very intense and intimidating to me being a fledgling, I decided to go to flight school instead. I enjoyed my years flying in Kodiak, Bob will always be one of the best!

    Shame this video is over-edited and information is repeated like we are dumb. Why not let the scene of the hunters and their rescue just play through in one sequence? Let the people talk, let them start and let them finish instead of endless cutaways. People who watch this sort of stuff do not have to be over-entertained and saturated with noise.
