Does anyone know of some good aviation shows on prime video / Netflix?

Hello people

I was looking at Netflix and Amazon prime video, and I couldn’t find any aviation shows that looked good. So, I was wondering if any of you guys know of/ have watched an aviation show on either that you would recommend.

EDIT

Please make sure to say which service it is on

It’s not a show, but a movie: Airplane! Great comedy.

I don’t think that this is relevant to real world aviation. Once you get regular you can post in the lounge.

Operation Overdue on Amazon Prime. Can’t say enough about that one, Mt. Erebus disaster is not typically remembered and this is a great show detailing the recovery operation at the bottom of the world.

Flying the Feathered Edge, the Bob Hoover Project and One Six Right

Also try Leaving the Earth, a documentary about Denny Fitch starring the man himself (rest in peace, sir.) Also on YouTube check out Captain Van’s lecture series for the American Airlines Advanced Aircraft Manuvering Program.

Haha, great movie! Absolutely hilarious!

Really any search with aviation in the search bar will likely yield some results.

I didn’t put it in RWA, someone moved it.

How about the movie stealth… it’s about top secret navy Aircrafts that switches wing configuration to delta wings and hit Mach 9+. And that movie was out in the 2000’s. IT WAS MIND BLOWING.

@Nathan was right to move it, it belongs here (or in the lounge)

The Aviator is a pretty good movie. Depicts the life of Howard Hughes and his semi-pycho-compulsions that lead him to some incredible creations.

Not on AMAZON or Netflicks but good old You tube. First saw this on TV a few years ago and was on a BA flight back from the states last month and it was on the ICE. Found full video on you tube.

It shows how pilots where trained back in the 1960’s to be an airline pilot. A little different from the MPL’s of today but shows all about base and line training as well as basic flight school not to mention vintage VC-10’s

On Netflix there is this sort of cool movie where a 757 travels back in time to WW2 and gets shot by German planes.
