Keep your eyes peeled on FlightSim.com and no doubt you can get your own Fresh 737 which you can fly!
I think you’ve got a point with the Sky One being chosen because it’s not aimed at us!

nice……. i love this series, works with one of my favourite airlines and its partners!! The Palma ones were equally as good but the ACE Aviation team are really good entertainment sorting those AMM flights!!
Anyone know about the Holiday Airline series, was half way through Monarch Airlines at MAN when 9/11 happened. Dont believe it has since been shown.
As for mile high, its a scream! Really good viewing for a sunday night. As far as realism and stuff goes, i’m not too bothered! I think we need to bare in mind that the programme probably wasnt aimed at us enthusiasts entirely (hence it being on skyone instead of discovery wings or something) so every last detail wont be accounted for; but like i said, its so good i don’t care :-p
Would love to fly for an airline like Fresh! or even see a virtual version of the airline for flightsim if anyones interested!?!?
Cheers,
LGKR
P.S forum looks mightly kewl these days!

I was waiting for the inside of the aircraft to be a 2-4-2 seating configuration or something like that. Only one of us would know that a 737 is 3-3!
But yes, the computer graphics are quite tacky.
I reckon if you sat in front of the telly with a pen and pad, you could note down loads of mistakes with the programme!

Cheers for clearing that up mate. The other thing I notced about their aircraft. How poor are the computer graphics on those 737’s. You can clearly see that the fresh livery is fake. Of course again this is coming from an aviation enthusiast, not your everyday avergae Joe public. :p

As you know it’s about a low cost carrier called Fresh (and if you’re a true aviation enthusiast, you’ll notice their fleet of 737s do not have registrations!).
Episode one and two have introduced to the characters. Mainly focusing on a geeky chap named Marco who was dropped off at the airport on his first day by his mum!
People were cruel to him and sent him to the wrong briefing room and he nearly missed his flight… not a good start. He messed up and got loads of b*ll*ckings from Janis, his boss. It now turns out, as you’ll know from yesterday, Marco fancies Janis!
On his first flight, he was driven to Alicante where he was forced to go to clubs etc and get drunk by the homosexual guy whose name I can’t recall. His drink was spiked and he lost his way (had a flight the next morning) and then ended up in the hands of two Spanish woman who took him to his hotel, stripped him and put him in the swimming pool on a lilo. They robbed him of his belongings and his passport. After this, Marco’s career with Fresh! was near enough over.
Another girl (Emma I think??) fancied the First Officer but she was due to get married, we didn’t know if it was going to happen or not, but it did and there is still an affair sort-of going on between the pair.
Finally, Marco is heterosexual, but bets are being placed as to whether he is gay or not.. apart from that, that’s it!
It’s repeated Thursdays at 22:00 or 22:30.

I have only seen one ep. so far and that was last nights one. The Two “swedish” girls made me laugh! :p
T5 if its not too much trouble, could you fill me in briefly on what has happened in the last 2 eps? Many thanks. 🙂

A330Crazy,
I been watching it, I also posted a top telly thingy-majiggy a few days before the first in the series.
It is on for 13 weeks and I’ve seen all three episodes so far.
I think it’s more a drama series and itsn’t as funny as it could be. Last night for example, that guy that jumped off the hotel roof was a little odd for what I thought was just an occasionally funny drama series.
I’m enjoying it at the moment and it makes a nice change to all these absolutely cruddy and repetitive programmes like Frost and The Bill, Holby City and Casualty… nice idea!
