Plot Synopsis

AIRPLANE REPO is a reality series that follows repo men pushing themselves -- and sometimes the law -- to reclaim multi-million-dollar jets, luxury yachts and high-end toys from the world's wealthiest, who have fallen behind on their payments. Hired by banks, these bounty hunters of the sky repossess assets from deadbeat one percenters, while facing numerous obstacles with each new job, including violent altercations with the owners, the risk of arrest, and unknowingly flying a damaged plane. Each one-hour episode chronicles these nail-biting, high-stakes jobs, as these men only have minutes to inspect the functionality of the plane before they take off in the air. This series features four men: Mike Kennedy, a weapons trader and exotic animal dealer, who normally works solo -- but sometimes with a small and seasoned crew -- and can fly just about anything; Kevin Lacey, a former Cessna mechanic and owner ofTexas Air Fleet/Rangers, who has done more than 450 repos around the globe; Ken Cage, President and co-owner of Internal Recovery Group (IRG), who has completed 1200 repossessions including boats, airplanes, construction equipment, trucks, buses, RVs and even racehorses; and Danny Thompson, a former champion bodybuilder and MMA fighter, who recently joined Ken's IRG this year.
