Cory?s new business runs into bad weather when his pilots walk off the job and he?s forced to take the controls. But that?s just half of Cory?s nightmare.

South of the equator, Cory and Randy hopscotch along a string of Carribean islands until a tense night landing threatens to trip them up.

Former car salesman Cory Bengtzen launches a used airplane delivery business with two inaugural trans-global “ferry flights.” Cory’s cowboy pilots brave wild weather, take on dangerous airstrips and cover distances that these small planes were never meant to fly. He hires mechanics to rig the planes with extra fuel tanks but engine problems, fuel leaks and just bad luck threaten to put his new business on a collision course with disaster.

The town?s very own super-hero, Polarman, is there to set them straight.

With almost 8,000 kilometers behind them, Pete and Cory face intense headwinds and a dwindling fuel supply. Pete challenges Cory to make the call ? turn back or keep going? In Greenland, Marcio and Kerry are going nowhere fast. A bureaucratic mix-up could force them to backtrack 1,000 kilometers. While they cool their heels, Marcio the foodie reluctantly dines out on some local cuisine? whale blubber.

Kerry and Marcio are in the final stretch of an 11,000 kilometer journey. Marcio has strict orders to make it home on time to his very pregnant wife.
