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, 's e Stuart Abel agus Sean Archer dithis dhen luchd-eiridinn a tha ag obair a-mach à Port-adhair Inbhir Nis, agus tha iad air an gairm a-mach gu cuis èiginn anns an heileacoptar-eiridinn a tha stèidhte an sin.

Tha na beanntan air a Ghàidhealtachd brèagha, bòidheach ach tha iad cunnartach cuideachd. Aig Inbhir Lòsaidh far am bheil Feachd an Adhair stèidhte tha sinn a' leantainn Ceannard an Stèisein Pòl Godfrey agus e a' falbh a' sgèith ann an Typhoon. Agus tha luchd-smàlaidh Bharraigh a' dol gu muir airson eacarsaich trèanaidh leis an eathar aca agus 's e Kenny Beaton a th' aig an stiùir.

A behind-the-scenes view of 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, Stuart Abel and Sean Archer are two of the paramedics at the Scottish Air Ambulance helicopter base at Inverness Airport. The Highlands have spectacular mountains and coastline but with the beauty comes danger. The team is called out in an emergency to assist an injured walker and airlift him to hospital in Inverness.

At RAF Lossiemouth, station commander Paul Godfrey is also an active Typhoon pilot, and we follow him as he takes part in a fast-jet training exercise with one of his colleagues.

And firefighter Kenny Beaton leads his colleagues at Barra Airport as they launch their rescue boat into the unforgiving Atlantic to test their skills. Show less
