@ Never heard of it so I looked it up and according to IMDb, Ken Curtis neither starred in it or is listed among the 412 actors that made an appearance on the show. Sorry.
Grew up watching Sky King, at noon on Saturday. It was the last Saturday morning show, before you got on with your day. Because of this show, I ended up a military aviator and a professional pilot. Thanks, Sky King!
I wonder how many baby-boomers became pilots with this show under their belts? I opted for scuba gear but preferred sails to Mike Nelson's power-boat - if only gasoline had stayed at 23.9 or 21.9 or 19.9.
Holy shit can't believe this popped up on TH-cam. I'm 70 years old and I'm still a fan. What I really appreciated about these great B&W T.V. shows are that the background music is where it should be in the background not the foreground like today's movie's. I can actually hear the audio clearly.
@@Lrose68I watched this a kid. I ended up as an AX on P-3s. Within 10 years after I got out I moved to Alaska and bought a small airplane that I learned to fly. I had jobs up here where I was transported in many kinds of airplanes from Beavers on floats to Cessna Citations. Also a lot of helicopter time to oil platforms and mountain top communications sites. Even had a ride in a C-47 that flew on D Day for the Canadians. I sat in the jump seat on a beautiful day. I’ve lost a few friends to airplane crashes.
SONGBIRD I was a Cessna T-50 BOBCAT also known as The Bamboo Bomber because of its construction with a wooden fuselage aft of the cockpit. The Bobcat had a gas-powered heater under the rear seat. This heater sometimes caused an inflight fire. An inflight fire could be exciting.
We had a farm. My dad would let me watch sky king and then go back down to finish my chores. I became a pilot and flew jets for 13000 hrs. Thank you sky king indeed. Loved both airplanes.
I always looked forward to watching Sky King! I later got to spend 47 years flying commercially and 40 of those years and 25,000 hours enjoying the heck out of seeing this planet from above!
judging by your comments I'm sure it was a pleasure flying with you too.I hope you're enjoying retirement.Cant say i am.Oh well thanks you cheered me up for a bit.never saw this looks good😊
@@USCG.Brennan Remember them all except Circus Boy. Might as well add Howdy Doody, Annie Oakley, Superman, Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and the cartoons. They were great. Mighty Mouse, and Bugs Bunny. I recall a show on Saturday night - - Mr Lucky a floating casino that was on from 1959-1960. I think Paladin was also on Saturday nights.
@@ParkerPlaza You're right! Mr. Lucky at 9:00 p.m. & Paladin "Have Gun Will Travel" at 9:30 p.m, plus "Wanted, Dead or Alive" at 8:30 p.m.Great line-up!
I'm 80 yrs of age now. This was one of my favorite Saturday morning shows when I was a little boy. God bless whoever preserved this and brought it back here!!! (from Wayne in northwest Arkansas)
Sky King, Sea Hunt, and Fury were my favorite shows back in 1960 when I was 6 years old. I wanted to fly like Sky King, scuba dive like Mike Nelson, and live on a ranch and ride horses like Joey Newton.
When the producers of SKY KING approached the Cessna Aircraft Company to see if they would supply a plane for the series, Cessna agreed to provide a Cessna 310, with one proviso: the stunt pilot had to be a Cessna employee. The producers agreed and a Cessna pilot and WWII Army Air Corps veteran (who flew P-47 Thunderbolts in the European theater) named Bill Fergusson was assigned to the show. In the late 1980s, I met Bill and his wife Dayle in a screenwriting class in Nashville and we all remained good friends until Bill passed over a decade ago. He was an amazing man and pilot. If you could strap a pair of wings on a Maytag washer, Bill could get it up in the pattern and bring it back down safely... I miss him to this day.
Whirly Bird had me hooked on helicopters as a child, but when I was going to go for a ride in one with the rest of the family, I climbed onto the floor of the car I was so freaked out by the actual thing! 🤣🤣🤣 I was a dork child. 🫠🫠🫠
I was so happy to see this pop up on my TH-cam. I discovered 'Sky King' at age 6, 1956, when my folks could afford buying a television. The series had 'cliffhangers' that were the best! For about 6-days, I was on pins and needles until the next episode to figure out what happened. 'Sky King' was the coolest man ever, with his plane...and I probably had a crush on Penny too. Do sorry she has left us.
Same here it was one of my favorite shows I even had a toy model of his plane the "Songbird" & I also love watching Sgt, Preston of the Yukon & his dog King It was a great time being a kid "back in the day"
and do you remember "The story you are about to see is true...' and later 'This is the city, etc' Great days, they was.. and B and W worked just fine once we got Cable t.v.
I'm almost 75 now and waited anxiously every Saturday for Sky King to come on at 12 noon when I was a kid. I had the biggest crush on Penny but also was fascinated with aviation as a child. I don't remember watching this particular episode but I've seen many of them. Hopefully, more will appear here on TH-cam soon!!! Thanks for the memories.
I’m 75 too, Disney gave us the best, Annette the heart throb before Penny. Spin and Marty, Davy Crockett, Highway Patrol we saw the first Helicopters. Sea Hunt scuba divers.
@dave-zl2ky My dear friend, I do certainly agree with u ,& when I was a young whippersnaper I was able to obtain my private pilot license, but now that I am an old man, I can 👎 no longer fly alone, but I still enjoy 😊 seeing all of the Sky King movies ❤😊
I’m just another boomer that grew up watching Sky King in the early’60s. I had a toy airplane dash with a yoke and gauges and flew along with Sky and Penny. Good times.
I am 80 years old and grew up watching Sky King (my Hero). Got my pilots license as soon as I could, and flew until this year (80th birthday). Thanks Sky!!
I was 6 years old when it first aired and loved watching "SKY KING" every Saturday. I guess most of us are around the same age, I'm 79. It was just part of the early days of tv. This episode shows a 1955 Chrysler wagon and a 1955 Plymouth police car, so I'm guessing it was made in 1955 ? I was 10 when this episode was aired.
"I remember being buck-tooth and skinny, writing fan letters to Sky's niece Penny." I loved this show and watched every Saturday. Thanks for the upload!
Loved this show when I was a kid! All these years later, the memories are renewed of those long-ago days of childhood, and still, "Sky King" soars along with the BEST television series ever! I am still a big fan...even have a large model of the Cessna 'Songbird' ( Sky's second aircraft) on display in my home!
Yep, brings back memories, especially as my buddy back in the 70's had the same model Cessna, and we used to fly all over the interior of Florida, where it could land & takeoff in these out-of-the-way impossibly short dirt 'runways' all around Lake Okeechobee... cool plane, and it was considered state of the art back in the 50's!
The Cessna T-50 was used in the earlier episodes. It was designed in the 1930s along with the military versions AT-17 and the UT-78 . 5422 were produced. In later episodes, Sky King moved to the newer Cessna 310
At 6 years old I liked the Cessna 310 so much more. It looked cooler and faster, and those wing tanks just set it off. But now, those radial engines sound so great.
One of my favs as a kid!boy how time flies I don't remember any of these shows I'm 72now so this was on long time back those were good days on Saturdays as a kid..
a true blast from my past.. the thing about watching old TV from this era is looking at all the 'wide open spaces' and coming to grips with the fact that lots of it is now endless housing developments.
One of my favorite shows as a kid, I watched it every Saturday morning. I had hoped for years that one of the retro TV channels would add it to their lineup so I could see it again. What a treat finding this today! Now, if someone would bring back Fury!!!
Every Saturday at noon Sky Kings plane would make the bank and our local fire company alarm would go off announcing 12:00 noon. For a long time I thought it was part of the show. Loved this show!
I watched Sky King every Saturday morning. It was one of my favorite childhood shows. My son grew up to be an air traffic controller so aviation is still part of my life.
I'm 71 years old and used to watch this on Saturday morning and dreamed about flying,,only got to the fixin' em part😂 but i wouldnt trade that part for anything,,, too many good memories......
I remember going to A&S in west babylon, and waiting on line with my mom and sis to meet Sky King. He was called to duty and had to leave real quick, but he shook as many hands as he could including mine, what a thrill!
Remember like it was yesterday. Great shows like: Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, My Friend Flika, Lone Ranger, Zorro, Highway Patrol, Roy Rogers, Rin Tin Tin, Have Gun Will Travel, Fury, and on and on.
I was born the year this episode was made. Grew up loving airplanes, got a PPL 40 years ago, spent a career working on Air Force bases and retired never once having seen this program. Until today, that is. Thanks for the upload!
68 years old grew watching this along with alot of old series, sea hunt, highway patrol, whirlybirds, roy rogers,. now a days i live about 3 miles from the sky king house and roy rogers house which are about a block from each other
I watched this show growing up and it motivated me to get a private pilot's license when I was 18 while serving in the USAF. I later took up hanggliding as well.
The Adventures of Sky King. Growing up in the fifties, and being nuts about cowboys, weren't we all. It was the times. And for me, I had another interest too. Airplanes. Horses and Airplanes. sky King flew in that beautiful Beech 18. Cool Aircraft. There was other influences in my life, but Sky King was one the the biggest reason why when I enlisted I chose the USAF 1968-72.
I watched Sky King as a child and none of my childhood friends remembers this program. Every Saturday morning. Saturday afternoons if we weren’t outside or if it was bad weather it was Godzilla B movies.
Got to actually meet Kirby Grant around '71 as a 10 year old at an autograph show in small town Ms. *Also nice to learn Nabisco stood for "National Biscuit Company"
I loved this show (and whirlibirds) back in the early 60's. We'd set up chairs and pretend we were flying while watching the shows. I've loved airplanes ever since.
great memories .... though I remember the two tone songbird, pictured in the McGown Production photo at the end over this likely earlier one in this episode.
I discovered Sky King in the mid 50's when I was about 6 years old. This brings back so many memories. Now how about one from Sea Hunt which someone previously mentioned?
I had a really good relative who passed away about ten years ago who played the crooked skin diver who was in all the fights with the star, Lloyd Bridges, underwater, his name was Stormy Lammers, a retired UDE, for those of you who don't know what that is, Underwater Demolitions Expert. He really had some good stories. I just wanted to share that with you.
I would beg you to post all of the Sky King shows you have, I watched them when I was but a lad and I loved it. I even bought a Cessna 310 twin engine Aircraft because of my Hero, Sky King. Thank you so much for posting this video, I've subscribed, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell, in hopes of seeing more of these shows. Thanks again!
Being 74 years old I grew up watching this with Sea Hunt also
“…And then I saw it!”
Yes, Lloyd Bridges.
And Ripcord was another great show.
How about “Whirlybirds”? Starring the man that played Festus on Gunsmoke.
@ Never heard of it so I looked it up and according to IMDb, Ken Curtis neither starred in it or is listed among the 412 actors that made an appearance on the show. Sorry.
Grew up watching Sky King, at noon on Saturday. It was the last Saturday morning show, before you got on with your day. Because of this show, I ended up a military aviator and a professional pilot. Thanks, Sky King!
Same here, I wound up joining the navy and flying aircrew for 4 years on the P-3 orion because of this show.
I wonder how many baby-boomers became pilots with this show under their belts? I opted for scuba gear but preferred sails to Mike Nelson's power-boat - if only gasoline had stayed at 23.9 or 21.9 or 19.9.
Wow he had some radio equipment at home!

80 here and I listened to the radio show before it went to TV
70 & I remember being entertained with this, the Three Stooges & Bugs Bunny and Company!

Good wholesome television from an era long past. I want to buy the whole series, but the price is Sky King high.
I grew up in the 50s and remember watching this show on our B&W TV.
Watched this growing up. Ended up working on the B-2 for 30+ years and earned my PPL at the areo club at Edwards AFB. Thanks for the memories.
Those shows and the BUFFs
Watched Sky King growing up. Highway Patrol was a favorite. And Sgt Preston of the Yukon
Oh yes. Loved Sgt. Preston & King. Watch Highway Patrol every morning
Yay for Sgt Preston! The theme music was from Emil von Reznicek's "Donna Diana Overture". Search for it here on TH-cam and you will find it easily.
It was Highway Patrol then Sky King for me.

I met Sky King in Wenatchee Wa when he went on tour with his plane. Him,the Lone Ranger, and Rin Tin Tin were my idols.
After watching a couple of episodes all of them came back to me. Watched all of these great oldies back in the 60's
Great to see these again. Not just for the planes but all those beautiful mid-50s Mopars!
Amen. Seems like many other series had Fords. I had the sedan version of that '55 New Yorker Deluxe wagon. Same color too (I think 😂).
Watched this show as a young kid in '54 on one of the NW Washington stations. One of many "crime doesn't pay" programs of that generation..
As a kid 10 -12 years old I never missed an episode. Thanks for the memories.

Got to actually meet Kirby Grant around '71 as a 10 year old at an autograph show in small town Ms. *Also nice to learn Nabisco stood for "National Biscuit Company"
He was one of the celebrity guests at a local telethon in my home town many years ago.
Nice guy.
I loved this show (and whirlibirds) back in the early 60's. We'd set up chairs and pretend we were flying while watching the shows. I've loved airplanes ever since.
Loved watching sky king back when I was a kid.
"You should always help a fellow motorist in distress." No good deed goes unpunished.
I think this is the first Sky King episode I've seen since the middle 50s...great flash-back to a much simpler time for us all! Thanks!!
A wonderful time to be alive as a kid. Let’s not forget the Cisco Kid and Hopalong Cassidy.
Of all the episodes, of this show, this one comes to mind. I watched Sky King as a kid, but this episode is the only one I remember.
great memories .... though I remember the two tone songbird, pictured in the McGown Production photo at the end over this likely earlier one in this episode.
This was great TV on Saturday mornings.
It's was my favorite Saturday morning TV show.
This and the Whirlybirds motivated me to become a pilot. I retired in 2019 with over 36,000 accident free hours.
I discovered Sky King in the mid 50's when I was about 6 years old. This brings back so many memories. Now how about one from Sea Hunt which someone previously mentioned?
I had a really good relative who passed away about ten years ago who played the crooked skin diver who was in all the fights with the star, Lloyd Bridges, underwater, his name was Stormy Lammers, a retired UDE, for those of you who don't know what that is, Underwater Demolitions Expert. He really had some good stories. I just wanted to share that with you.
I forgot about that show I did watch It as a child.
Been buying a lot of my Saturday morning lineup I watched when I was a kid. Got a lot of the cartoons. Now to live action.
I loved Sky King, it made me want to live in the west and have adventures. I moved to AZ in 1979. Thanks Sky King.
I also absolutely loved this show.
I'm almost 80and this brings back happy memories.
I would beg you to post all of the Sky King shows you have, I watched them when I was but a lad and I loved it. I even bought a Cessna 310 twin engine Aircraft because of my Hero, Sky King. Thank you so much for posting this video, I've subscribed, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell, in hopes of seeing more of these shows. Thanks again!
