Air Dogs

Rooster and Miller head down to the Arizona desert where they meet up with world champion air racer and flying legend Kirby Chambliss. Chambliss takes the Air Dogs through Red Bull boot camp to see if they have what it takes to become air racers. While Miller is anxious to fly the powerful Edge 540 - the Ferrari of the skies - he soon discovers that he might be biting off more than he can chew.

In this adrenaline-filled episode, the Air Dogs push their skills to the limit. The mission: land a vintage air trainer on the smallest airstrip in the world - the roof of a RV speeding down a short runway at over 90 kilometres an hour. World famous air show pilot Kent Pietch spends time teaching Rooster and Miller the technique, but will all the training help them master such a hairy landing?

Bud Granley is the first father of air show flights. Follow the Air Dogs as they catch up with Granley and the ultimate air show stunt plane - the Yak, a tough-as-nails Russian trainer. There is nothing you can't do in a Yak. While Rooster and Granley push the Yak to the edge, Granley's son Ross teaches Miller the basics in aerobatics in a different kind of Yak.

The Lancair P IV is a top of the line, composite aircraft with a glass cockpit - the ultimate private craft. Capable of flight at an altitude of 13 kilometres, the P IV is the ultimate airplane. Miller has researched this plane and is hoping for a chance to fly it, as is Rooster. Watch as the Air Dogs head to the Lancair headquarters in Redmond, Oregon, to sweet-talk their way into the cockpit.

What self-respecting pilot wouldn't have a B-25 Mitchell on their fantasy flight list? During the Second World War, B-25s flew in every theatre of war on missions ranging from bombing, to low-level tank busting to anti-shipping attacks. In this episode, the Air Dogs head to Hamilton, Ontario, where Rooster hopes to take a Mitchell for a ride.

The Snowbirds are the largest jet formation team in the world, and Rooster used to fly with them! Join the Air Dogs in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, as they borrow a couple of jets for some flights of fancy in the sky. As Rooster catches up with his old Snowbird pals, the group decides to teach Miller how to fly through a loop in formation.
