Damn, you old! Do you member what Sky King's daughters name was?

Hey, Airplane guys!
Her name was Penny (Gloria Winters). She had a dog (Shadow). They lived on the Flying Crown Ranch. Ron Hagerthy was Clipper King. The show came on at 10:30 each Sat morning right after Jet Jackson (Richard Webb), he flew the Silver Dart. That came on right after National Velvet. That show "stunk out loud". A sad follow up to Fury with Peter Graves. That followed Howdy Doody at 8:30. Saturday morning TV.

Peter Graves??? Why do I know that name?? Lead guy in "Mission Impossible? Brother to James Arness of "Gunsmoke".
Johnny Quest! One of my favorites! Anyone else remember the XL-5 and the show it was on?

Road Runner and Johnny Quest... Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius!
MC says "that's right for $25 dollars!"
Can't forget Space Ghost!
That brings back memories... I grew up in England. A wee lad of 8-10 yrs... a little village called Boyton, a stones throw from the channel. In the early sixties, we owned the only TV in the village. Every Saturday morning, every kid in the village would show up (bearing gifts
) and we'd all gather 'round the telly to watch the newest episode of "Fireball XL-5."
Hi Hunter,
ex-BAC here:-
Don't forget the "whispering death" Beaufighter, eh?
Note that the Bristol Britannia would have shrunk the world if BOAC had run 'em transatlantic instead of trying to land 'em in Entebbe Uganda.
Alas that the Concorde was such a fuel hog. Aviation kerosene was 17cents a gallon when we started to cut metal, 17 cents a cup full by first flight.
Jim you lucky dogA few yrs. back I worked at a place where we built Light Sport airplanes.... Renegade Falcons. One weekend the traveling Ford Tri Motor was in town giving rides. During a break, the Captain came over to check out our little birds, so I put him in the left seat of one and gave him a 30 min. demo ride. On the last Tri Motor flight of the day, he came and got me and put me in the right seat. For 20 minutes I got to fly the venerable Tri Motor. Talk about hog heaven.

I took a ride in one and it was the coolest flight ever
At the time it was $75/ but worth it
And then EAA had one here at the local airport and I took my buddy Harv with me (old pilot)
And you couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces
Scenic Airlines in Vegas had a Tri Motor. For an extra $10 you could ride in the right seat. Prop right outside the open window. Loudest contraption I've ever had the pleasure to ride in. Tried to get the wife to go again but she wanted to get back to the slots.
Surely you can't be serious?!!
Airplane! ? Mission Impossible (original TV series)? He appeared in about a zillion other TV shows...
I can... and don't call me Shirley...
Fireball XL5, Stingray, Supercar, the Thunderbirds......ahhhh, those were that days! Gary and Sylvia Anderson - and all filmed in SUPERMARIONATION!!!!
I also used to love watching the Three Stooges and listening to the Goon Show on the radio.
