'Every day is an adventure for the pilots at Big Sky Aviation. A high spirited bunch to start with, they can't help but relish the kind of job that sees them one day flying to a medical emergency on a remote property deep in the outback, the next on a tricky city mission and another soaring over some of the most beautiful tropical coastline in the world. BIG SKY is an action adventure series with heart, humour and nerves of steel.'
