Xtreme Airports - Volume 1

2016

Across 5 continents, this program plunges into the terrifying reality of the World’s most extreme airfields. These are runways where a margin of error doesn't exist. Witness the extraordinary skill of pilots and crews as they overcome both environmental and geographical barriers—whether navigating the brutal cold of Iqaluit, Canada, or executing a perfect approach on the notoriously short strips of St. Maarten and Funchal, Madeira. It's a high-stakes journey from the heat-haze of Ethiopia's Semera to the unforgiving crosswinds of Unalaska, Alaska. - St. Maarten - St. Barts - Hong Kong Kai Tak - Iqaluit, Canada - Sao Paulo, Congonhas - Saigon, South Vietnam - Semera, Ethiopia - Funchal, Madeira - Lampang, Thailand - Dutch Harbor/ Unalaska, Alaska
