In this programme, Andrew Bruce from Far North is busy at Wick Airport where three ferry pilots have come in for fuel on their way to Africa, Holland and America. But one of them, the Shorts 360, has broken down and its front wheel needs to be repaired before they can set off on their next leg to Iceland on their way home to Wisconsin. They only have a permit to fly in daylight, and time is running out.

At Aberdeen Airport, the pilots of the Air Ambulance plane travel to Stornoway and Kirkwall, all in a day's work. And a private plane arrives in Benbecula with eight passengers who are heading to the famous course in Askernish in South Uist to play golf. While they are battling on the fairways, the pilot gives us a look around the Citation Jet.
