Discovery Civilization is putting all kinds of wings on a seasoned Snowbird pilot and a weekend Cessna flier in Air Dogs, an appeal to aviation nuts in the 8 pm ET/9 pm PT time slot, starting Jan. 29.

The six half-hour episodes show the test pilot and the filmmaker sweet-talking their way into the cockpits of aircraft ranging from a vintage World War II bomber to a CF-18. They fly loops and perform other air-show-worthy stunts, and the two hosts – Mark Miller and Captain Robert J. Reichert, a.k.a. ‘Rooster’ – will likely appeal to both aviation experts and amateurs.

Air Dogs is an original Canadian production commissioned by Discovery Civilization Channel and Discovery HD.
