Mighty Planes joins the Orbis crew for their most challenging mission to date. A series of setbacks culminates in a compressor stall in flight and an around the clock effort ensues to get the plane back in the air and into Ulaanbaator, Mongolia. For the first time in its history the Orbis DC10 faces the very real prospect of failing to reach its destination. Waiting on the ground are patients who will lose the chance of regaining their vision if this angel of mercy is unable to fly.
