Discovery Wings...too much military aviation?

[N776AU]

Does anyone else think Discovery Wings has too much military aviation on it....sure they have the occasional airline story or some other commercial stuff but that's what I'm most interested in......opinions please

Way too many old shows from the mid 80's... MOst Boring shite i've ever watched.

I think they should have more commercial and GA programs

I agree 100% with Adam...most of the time when I check Wings it is something military...and if I'd happen to tune in when something interests me the vast majority of the time it is some old-as@ show I watched years ago.
Lately the National Geographic Channel has had a bunch of stuff on dealing with commercial aviation...mostly disasters, but oh well...
tonight I watched that show on the Aero Peru 757 that crashed because of duct tape over the pitots...

So many re-runs....

Here, too, show on civil aviation are SCARCE. And when they are, a high-density playload of intellectual crap is often the rule.

Exactly, Will EVERY Thursday for the past couples of years or so, they've played the same old 'Flightdeck' shows

I won't be suprised if anyone here can act out word-for-word, 'The Flight' featuring an AC763 from YYZ-FRA

Needs more commercial stuff. The only stuff that seems to get refreshed every couple years is "Airport" & the rest of the Commercial stuff is a bunch of reruns, as said above. There was a show on a few nights ago about AA's operations at DFW...that I watched 3 years ago. The show to watch if you want to see AA DC-10s & 727s in action, though.

There are non-Military episodes ? Haven't seen any of them in Germany, but thanks to them, I know everything about US fighters from the '60s and '70s .

I have had Discovery Wings for years and have never seen that show. I watch it frequently, too.

GOD YES! There are way to many military shows. I really like Airport, and Learning to Fly though.

BTW> Anyone who has Comcast On Demand, There are a few aviation shows. Under the National Geographic on demand they have like a in depth look at the concorde and aviation stuff like that.
