After a rocky start in Macapa, Brazil, ferry flier entrepreneur Cory Bengtzen and copilot Kerry cross the Amazon rainforest. But engine trouble and power struggles make the last few legs the bumpiest yet. While up in Canada's Northwest Territories, veteran pilot Randy McGehee readies a UN cargo plane for a 12,500 kilometre trek to war-torn South Sudan.

Cory Bengtzen hires seasoned pilots, Pete and Brad, to jockey a King Air from the UK to the U.S. But Pete, a professional air racer, is thrown off his game after witnessing a tragic accident at the Reno Air Races. He needs to regain his nerve for the dangerous North Atlantic crossing ahead. South of the equator, Cory and Randy hopscotch along a string of Carribean islands until a tense night landing threatens to trip them up.

Kerry stretches his wings when veteran pilot Marcio offers him the copilot seat in a sleek Phenom jet. The duo must ferry this jet 19,000 kilometres, from Australia to the U.S., skirting North Korean airspace with pit stops in Russia. On the other side of the globe, Cory and Randy set a thirty-year-old Bonanza on course for the darkest parts of the Amazon Jungle.
