I've been looking for that episode for decades! I saw it when it first aired. I thought of it often and wished I could watch it again. I had this memory that when the P-51 lifted the tail that it bobbled a bit.

Well I found the episode on youtube and sure enough when he lifted the tail it oscillated a bit. Not as much as I "remembered".

Well it was great to see that show.

There was another Canon episode that I've been looking for. Canon is chasing the bad guy through a chef's kitchen. The head chef was chopping with a cleaver. Canon stops and samples the dish and says "Needs more salt"

The chef gives him a dirty look and lets the cleaver edge fall heavily onto the chopping block.

This episode also made the blooper reel. William Conrad and Martin Sheen are filming a scene in the Cessna when the back-projection film switches to a shot of a flying saucer - and Conrad says, "What the f*** is that, Marcus Welby?" :lol:

Turns out Conrad was a fighter pilot in WWII. So far all I've been able to gather from the web was that he flew a P-39 under the Golden Gate Bridge twice and one web page says he was assigned to the 37th Flying Training Wing.

His name back then was William Cann.
