Hi

For those of you who are in Canada, or who have access to Canadian 
broadcasting, you may be interested in the press release I recently received 
from ORBIS Canada, below.  This is a spinoff series to Mighty Ships called 
Mighty Planes, featuring the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital during their mission in 
Mongolia last summer.  It is not yet known when the series will be shown in the 
rest of the world but there are definitely plans for it.  


Here is the link for the upcoming programming for Mighty Planes in Canada

A MIGHTY PLANE helping millions see a whole new world
The premier of the eight-part documentary series, MIGHTY PLANES featuring the 
ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital on a medical program to Mongolia in June 2011 is 
scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel on Sunday, February, 26th at 8:00 
p.m. ET/PT. 

The MIGHTY PLANES documentary filmmakers joined the DC-10 aircraft, the world’s 
only Flying Eye Hospital, for a “mighty” adventurous week and captured the 
ORBIS medical and operations crews working tirelessly to deliver the precious 
gift-of-sight to those who need it most and to train local medical 
professionals in developing countries. 

MIGHTY PLANES reveals new behind-the-scene footage of ORBIS’ fight to eliminate 
avoidable blindness. Tune in or set your personal video recorder to the 
Discovery Channel on Sunday at 8:00 p.m.
