Dude, you're a pilot and you haven't seen the show "Dogflights"!! OMG,
dude you need to try to get all the old episodes and make sure you
Tivo the new ones. There has never been a show more perfect for pilots
than this.

That must be true; it explains why it's been canceled....

I don't see any evidence of that on the History Channel's web site or
at the wikipedia entry for the show. Is there a news release for this?

That's what they seem to be saying on the Forums section of the HC web page.

They must have forgotten. It was on this morning (Wed) for two hours
and I think it's listed for 6 times on Friday witht he first being at
8:00AM and a bunch in the evening starting around 8:00 PM. I only
listed out the ones in HD, but it's a long way from being canceled.

They use a mix of real life, gun camera, archival, and gasp sim
footage to explain or demonstrate specifics of given confrontations.

My brother checked his producer's database. The last entry for the
show was the order for the current season last March. Right now they
would normally be in contract negotiations with History Channel for
the next season. He said its probably most likely that both sides are
positioning for the negotiations at this point. His reason for saying
that is that Dogfights and Ice Road Truckers seem to be their marquee
shows so it would be a bit surprising if they really did just decide
not to order another season. BTW: He said they are making a version of
"dogfights" that includes dinosaurs rather that airplanes. Something
like "Jurassic fights".
He has the phone number for the production company that makes
Dogfights because he did some consulting for them awhile back (In TV
people move around all the time). He said he was tempted to call them
up and ask. He's going to see if he knows anyone who's working on
the show though.
