On the show didn't they call it a P-38? Its been a long since I have seen that one.

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.

As for the Beech, these are the latest photos that Google come up with.

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?"

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.
