A makeshift airport formed by a retired cop and his freewheeling flight instructor turns into something greater than its two founders ever anticipated when opportunity knocks in the form of a wealthy foreign tour group. Michael was a retired cop and aspiring pilot who craved the freedom of the open sky. Despite the fact that he didn't earn enough to pursue flying as a hobby, Michael and his instructor were soon earning a little extra cash by teaching their friends how to fly. Later, after a foreign tour group stumbled across their backwater airport, business really began to pick up and Extended Sky was born. Before long, Extended Sky is operating three helicopters full time. Enter Don Hilbie, a mechanical genius just out of the National Guard, and his brother Dave, who is hired to build Extended Sky's first turbine helicopter. Before long, Extended Sky is a multi-million dollar company with global influence - not bad for a former flight school founded by a retired cop and his bored flight instructor.
