WOULD YOU RIDE IN A PLANE WITH VINCE NEIL AS A PILOT?...uh, no.
Motley Crue’s Vince Neil learns to fly in a new reality
series.
“Vince Neil Escapes” will follow Neil in his dream to
finalize his pilot’s license, for which flight training occurred on-camera
during Season three of the popular PBS aviation program, “The
Aviators.”
Episodes will accompany Neil and his girlfriend, his
manager, and his mentor/flight instructor as they embark on various whirlwind
flights across North America and the Caribbean, enjoying rock-star level
treatment along the way.
Throughout the season, Vince battles FAA
regulations to earn the right to fly on his own due to a long history of DUI
convictions, including a fatal 1984 collision where Vince’s actions killed
Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley.
Neil’s enduring
challenge is to strike a balance between his hard-partying nature and the unique
sobriety and focus required to fulfill his dream of being a full-fledged pilot.
Neil’s flight instructor and “angel on the shoulder” warns that the only
variable between Vince enjoying a casual flight and dying in a fiery disaster is
Vince himself.
