Jim, Ferno, Ayla and Ariel Tweto are a part of the family owned Era Alaska airline that battles the arctic elements to transport supplies to one of the most inaccessible areas on the planet.

The cold and dark winter claims its first casualty in Unalakleet so Jim makes arrangements to transport the casket.

The family takes advantage of a beautiful Alaskan summer by flying north to check out another base and going bridge jumping into the Unalakleet river.

Greenhorn pilot Ben Pederson has been given the most challenging run of his short career -- an off-airport drop at Granite Mountain.

Era Alaska makes a special canine delivery for four-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey. After the first snow in Unalakleet, Jim and Ferno cope with an influx of schoolteachers on their busiest day of the year.

Doug transports volatile explosives to Russia and Ben flies into a bird while transporting passengers to the village of Stebbins.
