A blast from the past
"From out of the clear blue of the Western sky . . .comes Sky King!"
Here are links to every episode of the "Sky King" TV show. I wonder if any pilots on this ng were inspired as kids by this how? Enjoy! Thanks for the links! We've got several of these episodes on DVD, and showed them on "Movie Night at the Inn" as part of a double feature. OMG -- I had forgotten how *sappy* a lot of those old shows really were! Situations that seemed so cool as a young lad now seemed absurd, and Penny -- once the girl of my dreams -- was like finger nails on a black board! Everyone enjoyed watching the episodes, but only for the nostalgia. Wouldn't it be great if they could make something like that show again today, only with more realistic situations and acting? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

In later years, [Kirby] Grant considered bringing back the series and even a "Sky King" theme park, but nothing ever happened on either of these projects. At least one writer has boilerplated a "Sky King" film, but none has been produced." Drat!

Oh, man, I was absolutely inspired by that show. Every Saturday morning at
11:00 AM, I had to be planted on the floor in front of that old 21" TV. It was marvelous. "AJ" wrote in message ... "From out of the clear blue of the Western sky . . .comes Sky King!"

What if a talented screen writer composed a serialized TV series around a flying family in the aviation-themed hotel business? It could include the childrens' development and how aviation influences their reality. There could be scenes of camaraderie of the aviation community, and a little life-and-death drama of search-and-rescue, the beauty of the skies and ever-changing landscape vistas, technical issues associated with maintaining a personal aircraft, airport political action, and all seasoned with a pinch of family-values schmaltz ala The Waltons. Line up a screen writer, videographer, and some hands, and "film" a pilot episode, and submit it in a grant proposal to the Wolf Aviation Fund*. I don't see why it wouldn't have a high probability of success. * http://www.wolf-aviation.org/grants.htm

Sky King and Rip Cord as well.
Whirlybirds, Sea Hunt, Voyage to See What is on the Bottom (Flying Sub), the original Star Trek. Yes, at 11:00 AM, I was parked in front of the TV every Saturday morning watching Sky King. This was the spark that made me know that I wanted to fly.

OK. . . quick before the links die, please explain to an extreme end-
user, how to save those files to a CD. I am not an audiophile/ videophile, so I would opt for the basic straight forward method, without any attempt to enhance the recording. Perhaps like so many things that I remember from my youth as being so good, I will be disappointed after an episode or two. But it seems to me that this would be a good way to kill a few hours in the hotel room during my next few trips. Thank you so much AJ for posting the links. This was my all time favorite TV program when I could calculate my age using the fingers on one hand. Take care . . . John
