"National Geographic's female factor on 'Alaska Wing Men'".
Anchorage Daily News. Archived from
the original on 2022-05-16. Retrieved 2022-05-16.
The article notes: "The National Geographic show "Alaska Wing Men" is in its second season now, and features the 24-year-old Kiana pilot, along with a number of other wing men from around the state. Staheli is the only female pilot featured this season, making her place in a field historically dominated by men. ... In fact, when National Geographic first approached the Staheli family about featuring their air taxi service in the show, Staheli's dad gave them a big negative. ... The show was filmed last March and part of last summer, and is currently airing on the National Geographic channel."

The article provides 223 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "The skies above Alaska are the most dangerous in the US. In this reality series we meet the brave men (no women) who fly there. Meet Keller, Don, Jay and Drake -- the Alaska wing men. ... The plots and adventures here are nothing to write home about, but the scenery is awesome. Wing Men won't be everybody's cup of cocoa, but if you've ever wondered what Alaska is really like beyond the brochures, this is a great place to start."

"Alaska pilot navigates wild skies on 'Alaska Wing Men'".

The article notes: "Count Kiana resident Zaz Staheli as one of them. She is the only part-Alaska Native and only female on National Geographic’s "Alaska Wing Men," a show that chronicles the lives and experiences of Alaska bush pilots. Three of the show’s 10 first-season episodes have aired. "Alaska Wing Men" focuses on the men and women who fly the planes, similar to the Discovery Channel’s "Flying Wild Alaska," which depicts the Tweto family operating its air service out of Unalakleet. However, "Alaska Wing Men" features a handful of pilots from different companies that navigate air space across the state."

The article notes: "For the Alaska Wing Men, unpredictable weather and difficult terrain can turn even the most ordinary flights into a battle for survival. But once in a while, the skies clear and a secret mission comes along that is more fun than dangerous. That's the case in the new episode "Ski Chopper Daredevils."
