Episode	Title	First Broadcast	Description
01	All Because Of A Mistake	20031215	"If there existed some compartment of memory reserved for first times you would place take-off alongside first love-making, for the intensity of the two is identical.".
02	Between Second 1423 & Second 1797	20031216	I knew we'd lost her, I knew we were lost, and yet it was unbelievable... but it was at that very moment, second 1797, that you said to me quietly- 'We're going to crash.'.
03	Reaching Dewpoint	20031217	One morning, while airborne you lost your way, as people do in life, without ever quite being aware that they are lost.
04	Unreported Inbound Palermo	20031218	This should be the history of an aeroplane, because an aeroplane knows it's history- how many people in the world know its history.
05 LAST	Double Take-off At Dawn	20031219	The aeroplane began its take-off run, the hills and the sea of Bastia, even the runway itself began to race forward as Antoine St-Exupery, Tonio or St Ex, lifted his shadow from this earth for the last time.
