Wings premiered on NBC on April 19, 1990. The series is about two brothers, Joe and Brian Hackett. Joe and Brian run an airline, with one plane, from Nantucket Island off the Massachusetts coast to the mainland. Both Joe and Brian are pilots for their airline and Lowell is the mechanic. Their friend, and eventually Joe's wife, Helen is an aspiring cellist who runs the lunch counter at the small airport. Faye works for them at their airline with the passengers and Roy owns the other local airline. Casey is Helen's sister and Antonio is a local cab driver. This show is about the ups and downs and friendships of these people. It is rather wacky at times and is pretty hip.
