Airplane Repo is an American documentary-style fiction show following repossession agents hired by financial institutions to recover aircraft and occasionally other high-value assets from owners who have fallen behind on their payments.[ 1]
History
The Discovery Channel show first premiered on December 12, 2010, with a three episode pilot season. A two-year production hiatus elapsed before a full series premiered on July 11, 2013. Agents Nick Popovich (first three episodes),[ 2] Ken Cage, Mike Kennedy, Kevin Lacey[ 3] and Danny Thompson (from season one)[ 4] appear in the show, along with Heather Sterzick, a former military air traffic controller (from season 2).[ 5] Popovich claimed that later episodes are unrealistic.[ 6] Beginning with Season 3, the episode intro states that events have been recaptured and some details have been changed. This is to help clarify and explain the use of fixed-security cameras, used in the repo events, in an attempt to duplicate or produce found footage style cinematography.[ 7]
Season 2 premiered on August 22, 2014.[ 8] Season 3 premiered on July 15, 2015.[ 9]
