I've seen it a few times and enjoy it a lot. Dude brings in the cash. You notice what he drives.........a Bentley. To be honest I have dreamed a business like that would be so lucrative. I just figured if you had enough money to buy a plane you could afford one. I guess that's not the case quite often.

The re-invention of the show is not with Nick Popovich (sp) but instead follows several different repo men around.
The one guy that hired the meat head muscle needs to get rid of him. I don't know if it's just the way they edit the show but the way I see it he's cost him more money than he's made him.

They took a good documentary show and turned it into Lizard Lick Towing with wings.

really a government lets a "stolen" plane get out of its territory? remember there's no calls to let them know that the airplane got repo'd.  even in the united states if I had an airplane and saw somebody taking off in it, I would just call the police, "hey there's a stolen airplane flying towards the city", and to be honest I would have no idea that the airplane is repo'd.  there would be fighters all over the airplane in a matter of minutes.

I dont even want to think what would happen in a foreign country. what do you say when they ask you for the reason for your trip "gonna repo a plane?".

      I never noticed anyone taking an aircraft that didn't belong to them.  Usually they would chain the
bird up if the owner was delinquent on their payments.  That includes business jets, when I first started
at Morristown in 1989, the bank had "seized" a BAC-111 and 2 Gulfstreams on my ramp.  They didn't
move until the bank showed with papers and crews for them months later.  There was certainly no James
Bond super sneaky shanagans going on.

I couldn't make it through an episode. It's awful and it's not how airplane repossessions go.

Now I can see it going down that way . Never crossed my mind it was fake . Should have known when that one guy took that plane from that Mississippi boy . I don't think that would have ever happened . Boyz to mean down here .
