Big Sky (1997)

In the heart of Sydney sits Big Sky Aviation, a small, near-bankrupt company teetering on the edge of financial collapse. Every day, its courageous pilots embark on daring adventures, from providing critical aid during medical emergencies in the remote outback, to navigating intricate urban missions, and even soaring over breathtaking tropical coastlines. The company's diverse team, fueled by an infectious, high-spirited energy, is led by the seasoned chief pilot Chris Manning; a man of authority and sarcasm, at times arrogant, but always determined to protect his team. The tragic death of her father thrusts Lauren Allen, a wealthy heiress with little knowledge about the complexities of running an aviation company, into the helm of Big Sky Aviation. Her inexperience often clashes with Chris' seasoned perspective, sparking heated encounters and disagreements. Despite the challenges, Lauren's determination to save the company her father loved is admirable, and she gradually learns the ropes, surprising everyone with her resilience and resourcefulness. The eclectic crew consists of the young and ambitious Scotty Gibbs, whose audaciousness often lands him in hot water, as well as the easygoing Jimbo James, a skilled pilot notorious for his forgetful nature. Lexie Ciani, a pilot whose enthusiasm for flying knows no bounds, often finds herself exasperated by their antics. On the ground, the steadfast Shay McWilliam supports the team with her straightforward attitude and no-nonsense approach. Underneath the turbulence of the day-to-day operations at Big Sky Aviation, a subtle romance simmers between Lauren and Chris. Their feisty exchanges mask a growing affection, adding an intriguing layer to the dynamic of the team. "Big Sky" is a captivating journey of survival, adventure, and unexpected love set against the backdrop of the unforgiving yet beautiful Australian landscape.
