Who is your favorite fictitious pilot or crewmember

[mustangdriver]

"Alright Mr. Dorffman, start pulling".

[Jesse C.]

Nobody picked "Chappy"? Come on!


He can fly anything!!

[Jack Cook]

You guys all lose
THE great crewman ever was the guy who just sweeps up a bit and stares out the blister!!!

Pvt Will Stockdale in ''No time for Sergeants'':!:

[SaxMan]

What? No one has mentioned Luke Skywalker or Wedge Antilles yet? Or, the "Old Man" who was flying the Y-Wing fighter in the original: "Stay on target....stay on target".

I was probably one of three people who actually watched "Tales of the Gold Monkey". It was basically "Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century" moved back to the late 1930s.

Also, what about the other pilots in "Baa Baa Black Sheep"? Gutterman? French? Boyle?

[Dave Homewood]

I definately watched and loved Tales of the Gold Monkey when i was a kid, but it's been so long since it was on TV here I can't recall much about it. I'd love to see it again. Does anyone have a copy?

As for 'Black Sheep Squadron'/'Baa Baa Black Sheep', I know it seemed like a load of total bullsh!t, but weren't the characters allegedly based on fact rather than fiction?

[Chris Brame]

And a little less seriously, there's Buzz Sherwood, owner of Buzz Off Airlines:



(too bad the show didn't have the budget for some aerial stunt work!)

[famvburg]

Mitchell Gant - "Firefox"
Frank Murphy - "Blue Thunder"
Stringfellow Hawke - "Airwolf"
Does TV's "Black Sheep Squadron" Pappy Boyington count?

It wasn't a Me 108, it was a Bucker Bu 181(?).

Henley the Scrounger, who scrounges an ME 108 along with Blythe in the Great Escape!

Word on Wiki is the 21 episodes of the first and only season of Tales of the Gold Monkey are due to be released on DVD during the first quarter of 2010...
