A masterpiece of aviation drama depicting the professionalism of pilots and the loneliness, suffering, and love stories behind the scenes! Produced with the full cooperation of Japan Airlines, this blockbuster drama, featuring footage of actual aircraft and simulators, authentic aviation terminology, and plenty of overseas location shooting, is being revived to mark the 50th anniversary of its broadcast! --The story is about a jet pilot, Shigeo Sugiyama, who never breaks his perfect life as a professional. He is a perfectionist even when it comes to his subordinates, including his second officer (deputy co-pilot), Miura. During flights, Sugiyama often avoids danger by using good judgment. Sugiyama was undergoing intense training in Moses Lake, U.S.A., in preparation for a test to be promoted to captain of a B747 jumbo jet. He passed the grueling test and returned to Tokyo as the captain of a jumbo jet, but the anxiety he had been carrying with him from Moses was even stronger. His wife, Ayako, who was supposed to be waiting for him, was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the word "good-bye" written on a mirror in rouge. The only thing that cheered Sugiyama up in his despair was Satoko, the wife of his late best friend Kamijo. However, an unexpected turn of events awaits Sugiyama as he continues his search for Ayako and becomes increasingly devastated... 26 episodes in total. Commentary enclosed. First broadcast: April 5 - September 27, 1974 (Showa 49) on TBS
