The company's credits include the Emmy Award winning documentary A Distant Shore: African Americans of D-Day, the Emmy Nominated special Life After People, Doomsday: 10 Ways The World Will End, and the popular History series The Universe. Flight 33 also produced season two of the History series Shootout! and the 2007 special Siberian Apocalypse.

In 2011, Rocket City Rednecks premiered as the highest rated new series of the year for the National Geographic Channel. That same year, they and Spike TV created a TV special called, "Alternate History", which regards Nazi Germany turning the U.S. into a satellite state after winning the Second World War as a result from turning the tables on the D-day invasion. However, this scenario is flawed in several ways.[1] In 2014, they produced the show called, "Codes and Conspiracies", which explains different conspiracy theories. It went on for three seasons until 2016.

Flight 33 has also produced over twenty-five 3D programs, including the first ever 3D TV documentary - The Universe: Seven Wonders of The Solar System for History and Sky. Other 3D projects include, The Universe: Season Six, WW2 in 3D, History of the World in Two Hours, the 3D series Forgotten Planet and Live Fire for 3Net, and Roller Coasters, Perfecting Parkour, and The Colt Gun Factory for Comcast's Xfinity.
