Sky King visits the navy

Sun Jun 12, 2016 8:09 am

I found an episode of Sky King on YouTube that I vaguely remembered seeing about 50 years ago.
A bad guy has plastic surgery so he looks like Sky, steals the Songbird and goes to a nearby Navy test base to blow up a missile lab (you see Sky is known and trusted there).
Nice shots of the 310B taxing by a PB4Y-2 and a line Neptunes. Also, a SE with wings folded....but it looks to have a three bladed prop..so that eliminates a Skyraider. Not an Avenger either.

And then there is a scene where Sky (a Naval reservist) goes after the bad guy in a jet....I won't spoil the surprise by telling you then type.

Great fun from my youth...along with Whirlybirds (Bell 47G-2 and 47J Ranger).
