How’d we do it? The making of ‘Plane Talk’ with Tom Clark

Not only did viewers love watching some unscripted moments with politicians, but many of the guests enjoyed flying above the National Capital Region, sometimes even taking control of Clark’s plane.

All told, five cameras are attached to the plane for each segment. Two are mounted outside, and three inside – one on Clark, one on the guest and one shooting both in the single shot.

Watch above for some highlights from over the years, featuring Justin Trudeau when he was just leader of the third party, former prime minister Paul Martin, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel and Conservative leadership hopefuls Lisa Raitt and Kevin O’Leary.
