Controlling the sky: Air Boss shows how the fates of all thrill pilots lie in one man's hands
Wayne Boggs is in charge of one of the world's most dangerous sports, and is ready to reveal what keeps air show pilots in the business.
- (1888PressRelease) June 05, 2013 - The creators of The Aviators have struck gold once again in their quest to uncover aviation stories that have been kept under wraps for generations. Air Boss is a docuseries following the career of Wayne Boggs, the brother of Boston Red Sox Hall-of-Famer, Wade Boggs. Through him, we step into the inner circle of air show performers to understand what keeps them going, despite collisions, crashes, and even natural disasters.
As a professional air boss for more than two decades, Boggs has seen it all. While 2012 was an especially deadly year for air shows, he is the man most trusted by pilots risking their lives for the thrill of the show. The veteran air show director and aerial choreographer is the recipient of the International Council of Air Shows' (ICAS) "Sword of Excellence" award, which is among the most prestigious awards in the industry.
"This is a very special and unique group of people," says producer and creator Anthony Nalli. "Despite being consummate show people, they are generally very introverted personally. On very rare occasions where they do open up, they sure as heck don't for just anyone. The brand equity of The Aviators has helped us establish a trust within that world - an honor we treasure. Of course, having Boss Boggs vouch for us never hurts too!"
Boggs serves as the gateway into the exclusive world of air shows never before seen. His tough edge comes from his service as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam. He also served for years as a senior official with the FAA, but it won't be long before viewers fall in love with the big huggable bear that is Boggs.
"Wayne's a God-fearing family man who answers to no one... except Carolyn, his wife of over 40 years," says Nalli, "He's immediately loved by everyone he crosses paths with, and performers quite literally trust him with their lives."
"Those people that do this, and us that are associated in the business, and support this business, know what the risks are," says air boss and host, Wayne Boggs. "I've seen a number of my friends die right in front of me, and believe me, it takes a toll on you."
The docuseries will also be joined by world-famous air show announcer Rob Reider, who is well known for his on-camera instruction through Sporty's Pilot Shop, as well as delivering the "Tip of the Week" on The Aviators.
Air Boss will premiere in 2014 in many of the same 100+ countries currently airing The Aviators.
