Are you talking about the radio show or the TV show of Sky King ? On the
radio there were 52 episodes a year, donno about the TV show. On TV he
flew a Cessna 310B, on the radio he flew a single engine, four place tail

Either way, radio or TV. I remember catching one or two episodes on TV once, probably TCN channel or something, and liked what I saw. I even liked the recent "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" movie. How they got all that cool technology packed into a P-40, I'll never know....but its a cool sci-fi flick! (hope they make a sequil). I'll just continue looking, then.
