Ice Airport Alaska · Season 2 · Episode 2

“Heavy Lifting”

Aired Monday 17 January 2022

A multi-million-dollar plane and a multi-million-dollar mission are in jeopardy as Alaska endures another long winter. An issue with the landing gear of a cargo 737 lands the aircraft in Ted Stevens' state-of-art maintenance hangar for a very dangerous repair. North of the airport, "hurricane hunters" from NOAA are in a race to fix their P3 Orion in time to rendezvous with two satellites deep inside the Arctic Circle. Meanwhile, the stakes are high (very) for a helicopter pilot flying building supplies into the tallest mountain range in America.
