Hoogvliegers

Big Dutch production with very improbable storyline. All the flyers seem to be able to do their one thing. Whenever a pilot feels like flying, he or she takes a plane up into the sky without any form of approval. The Dutch airforce is depicted as a bunch of rogue cowboys. There seems to be no command structure. There's a lot of overacting. I wouldn't recommend watching this series.

Good Cast, good TV series. I like it. The Story is not the best but overall really good ideas.

With a long time professional career in aviation this show annoyed me from the first episode. It's written by people without an understanding of the air force. It's one big imaginative version of the air force. The military trains their personnel on a high level and in this show it shows the complete opposite. It portrays them as reckless individuals with no respect and a cocky attitude. Besides the tons and tons of mistakes how aircraft are flown and in what discipline the rest of the script is just lousy. The characters are messy and annoying at points. Somewhere they tried to throw in some love stuff and emotions but it's more annoying than believable. I could make a massive list of all the mistakes made in this show involving aviation but that would take too much of my time. This is a show you will enjoy if you have a very low standard of entertainment. If you are looking for a believable and catching show: avoid this. If you want to watch this show because you enjoy aviation as much as I do: avoid this show, it will only annoy you.

I had high expectations, but was disappointed. It's not a realistic representation of military training and discipline, let alone in aviation. There are many beautiful shots of landscapes and aircraft in flight and that's the only thing to help digest the silly, shoddy and childish story, the many mistakes, the annoying dialogue and the lack of respect towards military pilots who aren't flying F16's.

Great character building, directing, acting and viideography. Good storyline with a balanced mix fiction / non-fiction. Build up to speed could be a bit faster. All in one, definitely worth watching. Pity it's not available to a larger audience (eg. Netflix)
