Triumph in the Skies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Triumph In The Skies is a 2003 drama series produced by the Hong Kong TV network TVB. The show revolved around the theme of aviation, following the lives and loves of the pilots, staff, and flight attendants of the fictional Solar Airways, as well as the workers of Chek Lap Kok airport. It is somewhat similar to the now-cancelled NBC series LAX.
The show was partially sponsored by Cathay Pacific on which Solar Airways was based and sparked a temporary interest in aviation amongst Hong Kong's residents. It also sparked an interest in a small doll called Triangel, which was featured early on in the series.
External photography took place on location in Japan, Italy and Australia, with the sequences shot in Australia being memorable for its depiction of flight training.

[edit] Plot Summary
Samuel (Francis Ng) and Vincent (Joe Ma) are good friends since young. They are both striving to become the first Chinese captain for Solar Airways. Vincent's attitude towards romance is epitomized by his nickname 'playboy', but Samuel is determined to pursue his true love. They meet a stewardess, Isabelle (Flora Chan), and both fall in love with her.
Samuel's mum left his dad years ago, only to find out that she is pregnant with Issac (Ron Ng). And since then she had been telling Isaac that she is his sister, not his mom. Years later, Samuel's mom goes back to his father, and Isaac, thinking that their mom is his sister, keep thinking he is very big. At first, not even Samuel know that Isaac is his brother. Then his parents decide to tell Samuel the truth. But Isaac still dosen't know. Zoe met Samuel on the aeroplane when she was suspected of having arithmetics, and was very nervous as there was a storm and the plane wasn't stable. So the air stewardess asked Samuel to go out and assure Zoe that he would land the plane safely. From then on, Zoe had a crush on him. To get closer to him, she even applied for a job at the airport. And also because she was impressed by the air stewardess's calmness during that time.
Donald (Sammul Chan), Zita (Michelle Ye), Chris (Bosco Wong)are assigned to be trained in Australia as pilots. Can these 3 energetic youngsters fulfill their dreams? Samuel and Vincent already fulfiled their dreams of becoming a pilot even before Donald and all started applying for the job.
[edit] Possible Sequel
Rumors have suggested that a sequel will be made in 2006. However, the date has appeared to have been pushed back due to, apparently, continuing negotiation with a major airline to provide support.
Also, rumors have suggested that in the sequel, the character Issac (played by Ron Ng) will be replaced.
