Think about the gator shows: search for alligators, find them hooked with the bait, pull them alongside small boat, try to shoot them in their small skull, and then pull them inside the boat. All of these scenarios are just a script writer's "genius". I don't mind if a colossal combine with the plane's owner is coming down the runway to try to prevent a takeoff. I don't mind if the plane sitting in the hangar is surrounded by cargo containing live cobras, etc. I don't mind if you put bird's nests in the carburetor intakes to force an abort on takeoff. With improbable scenarios, you can keep our interest. There has to be a lot of hum drum repossessions out there, but the imagination leads to an infinitesimal number of dramatic situations. Like many others, I can see through each scenario as very likely being staged, yet I cannot change the channel - because it is very entertaining. ![]() Stay tuned, Ice Road Hookers is probably next for the Discovery Channel. The most worrisome thing I discovered is how easy it still is for ANYONE to get access to an airfield and airplanes in post Sept 11 America. But I guess the repo guys weren't that nervous about being caught because they still got good audio and video of the singer and his girlfriend. >during a bus repo ( not a typo, they repossessed a bus on airplane repo - tour bus of a band ) the white haired repo guy and the bouncer looking repo guy infiltrate a tour bus then, of course, just as they get inside, the lead singer comes in to start making out with a girl and the repo guys quickly hide in the bunks. Then, of course, they both arrive at the airport at about the same time. Then, of course, JUST as he is walking from the valet, the rich guy exits the club in less time than it takes to order a drink. Repo man steals keys from the valet, grabs the jet key, returns the car keys to the valet. Rich guy gets out of his Lincoln Navigator with three girls and goes arm and arm into a club. >following a 'rich media type guy' and his entourage to a club because they need to get the plane keys off the guy's car key chain. First of all, how the hell did he find out where the game was? ( in a hotel room ) 2nd, how the hell did he get in? 3rd, how did he secretly place 3 cameras in the room on the ceiling to film him while he played poker - oh, and he got great audio too. Cut to, pilot in a tuxedo going to a private high stakes poker game at a hotel with his girlfriend all dressed up as well so she can get intel from the other girlfriends. He needs to befriend the owner to find out where the plane is. Examples: >somehow, the repo man discovers the owner of the plane is 'in town for a card game'. Some of the episodes are so bleeping stupid. In real life, I doubt EVERY repo has the owner show up JUST as the repo pilot is getting into the plane. That is to say do less of the incredulous, contrived 'reality' and focus more on the core of the show. And get the pilots to talk more about the plus and minuses and unique qualities of each individual plane. They should show more activity in the air rather than in a bar, casino, etc. The producers should know these are the only reasons people really continue to watch. I am interested in seeing the value of the plane and the little animation they do with the range, size, passenger quantities etc. Like one of the other comments I watch the show because of the airplanes - I enjoy seeing a different plane each time and the cinematography of the flying. This duo, unlike the other two repo guys, doesn't just repossess airplanes, they repo buses and boats. The white haired guy and the guy that did too many steroids repossessed a tour bus. I guess 'Bus Repo' isn't as sexy as 'Airplane Repo'. ![]()
