Documentary series that goes behind the scenes at the airports across the Highlands and islands. In this episode, it's day one for some RAF scholarship students.

Anns an t-sreath-sa bidh sinn a' faighinn a-mach dè a tha a' dol air adhart air cùl ghnothaichean aig puirt-adhair na Gàidhealtachd is nan Eilean tro shùilean an fheadhainn a tha ag obair annta, agus bidh sinn a' coinneachadh ri feadhainn eile a bhios a' sgèith airson spòrs. An t-seachdain-sa, tha an sgoil sgèith aig Port-adhair Dhùn Dè a' cur fàilte air na h-oileanaich as ùire a th' air an taghadh bho bhuidhnean sgèith air feadh na dùthcha.

Ma bhios iad dìcheallach, bidh iad a' sgèith nan aonar taobh a-staigh ceala-deug. Aig port-adhair Inbhir Nis tha am manaidsear Callum Mac a Ghobhainn a' dèanamh cinnteach gun tèid a h-uile càil gu math leis a' chiad phlèana a bhios a' dol dìreach gu Majorca. Agus, tha cùisean air dheireadh aig Port-adhair Tingwall ann an Sealtainn leis a cheò, ach tha aon thè deimhinnte gu ruig i Eilean Fhughlaigh ach tha sin an urra ris a' phìleat Marshall Wishart.

This series gives viewers a behind-the-scenes view of the airports across the Highlands and islands, through the eyes of the people who work there, and we also meet some people who take to the skies for leisure.

In this programme, the RAF scholarship students at Tayside Aviation could be flying solo from Dundee Airport in less than a fortnight. We meet them on day one and find out if any of them get their wings by the last flight of their course.

At Inverness Airport, duty manager Callum Smith is making sure everything runs smoothly for Inverness' first direct flight to Majorca. With 180 passengers to get through the early-morning rush, he is kept on his toes.

And at Tingwall Airport in Shetland, mixed weather has caused delays for pilot Marshall Wishart, but one passenger is determined to fulfill her dream to get to the island of Foula to see where her relatives lived.
