Discovery Channel’s Airplane Repo back for second season, cast at Oshkosh

By General Aviation News Staff · July 29, 2014 ·

The Airplane Repo crew are returning to the Discovery Channel Aug. 22 for a new season. Meanwhile, the crew are at Oshkosh this year for AirVenture.

Returning for the second season is Ken Cage and Danny Thompson, who have more than 1,500 repossessions between the two of them. And of course, favorites Mike Kennedy – the James Bond daredevil who pushes his body and his luck to the limit to capture his target – and his conservative counterpart, the cowboy of the sky, Kevin Lacey.

DiscoveryRepo1And Lacey has a new weapon in his arsenal — a fresh female perspective from his young apprentice, Heather Sterzick, a stunt pilot with a military background.

In each episode of Airplane Repo, these experts are hired by banks to repossess high-end and enormous luxury assets from wealthy individuals behind on their payments. “From violent altercations with owners and potential incarceration, to the dangers of flying unfamiliar and possibly damaged planes, the Airplane Repo men — and women— put their lives on the line to get these luxurious mechanical giants back where they belong,” officials said.

    Cowboy of the sky, damaged aircraft, maybe not airworthy, incarceration? Who in their right mind would think these guys are heros?

    I think you mean 3rd season. Season 1 of Airplane Repo featured only Nick Popovich. Season 2 is the cast coming back for Season 3.
