"There’s just something about these old tanks that intrigues me, like how much longer are they going to be flying? They’ve been saying that for 30 years now and they’re still going… but this is the end of an era."

Known affectionately as "Scotty Too Tall," this 6’7" giant is the oversized underdog of the series, who is, in fact, too tall to fly Buffalo Air’s WWII-era Douglas DC-3. The only plane that will accommodate his height is the Curtiss C-46 Commando, which means he logs fewer hours in the air as he competes with more experienced pilots for flight time. He helps on the ramp, loads freight, sweeps snow off planes and helps Mikey in the office. His willingness to be a jack-of-all-trades is what makes him indispensable to Buffalo, but will it hold him back in the end? As competition for hours in the co-pilot’s seat ramps up, will Scott assert himself to get the flying hours he needs to make captain?
