1 9 9 7 – 1 9 9 9 (Australia)
53 x 50 minute episodes
After her father dies, privileged socialite Lauren Allen (Ally Fowler) inherits the struggling Big Sky charter aviation company and tries to fix the near-bankrupt two-bob rural outfit.
She frequently clashes with rugged chief pilot Chris Manning (Gary Sweet), who fiercely protects his team of pilots- though a slow-burning romance develops between them.
This consisted mostly of smouldering close-ups in which Chris communicated a whole continent of emotion in the flicker of a jaw muscle or the refocusing of an eye (even Gary Sweet would admit he was far better without the encumbrance of words).
Other key characters include pilots Scotty Gibbs (Martin Henderson), Jimbo James (Rhys Muldoon) and Lexie Ciani (Lisa Baumwol), and ground assistant Shay McWilliam (Robyn Cruze).
