Airplane Repo is an American documentary-style fiction show following repossession agents hired by financial institutions to recover aircraft and occasionally other high-value assets from owners who have fallen behind on their payments.

[1] The Discovery Channel show first premiered on December 12, 2010 with a three episode pilot season.

Agents Nick Popovich (first three episodes),[2] Ken Cage, Mike Kennedy, Kevin Lacey[3] and Danny Thompson (from season one)[4] appear in the show, along with Heather Sterzick, a former military air traffic controller (from season 2).

[6] Beginning with Season 3, the episode intro states that events have been recaptured and some details have been changed.

This is to help clarify and explain the use of fixed-security cameras, used in the repo events, in an attempt to duplicate or produce found footage style cinematography.
