La saison 5 de Air Warriors a été diffusée sur Smithsonian Channel du dimanche 14 mai 2017 au dimanche 28 mai 2017. Elle comporte 3 épisodes, le premier s'intitule "Harrier" et le dernier "U-2 Dragon Lady".
A winged fighter that hasn’t lost a fight in 26 years, a lifesaver that’s part plane and part chopper, and an attack helicopter our enemies call the Black Death. These are America’s undisputed kings of the sky: the F-15 Eagle, the V-22 Osprey, and the AH-64 Apache. And their success stories are as remarkable as they are improbable. Witness their turbulent journeys, brought to life through rarely seen combat footage and the stories of the dedicated pilots and teams who fly and maintain these ultimate air warriors.
