I had to look that one up "Sky King" ran from the 40's to the 50's as both a radio and TV series, I don't think I ever saw the show. Though it would have had to be a rerun for me, my shelf life started in the 60's.

How many of you knew that Sky King actually lived and worked in Denton for awhile in the 1980's for what was then know as Lifetime Securities Life? I met him several times. Loved the show as a kid...great Saturday morning fare for kids.

"Sky King", great show. I watched reruns as a kid in the mid 60's. Sort of a western show, he would always catch the bad guys using his plane. in the later shows he used an early model C-310, my favorite small plane....

The Cessna T-50/AT-17 Bobcat is one of my favorite, it has the beautiful sounding radials. Known in the training days of WWII as the Bamboo Bomber.

The Cessna T-50/AT-17 Bobcat is one of my favorite, it has the beautiful sounding radials. Known in the training days of WWII as the Bamboo Bomber.

"At the beginning of the television series, Sky flew a Cessna T-50 twin-engine "Bamboo Bomber." The plane, a World War II surplus UC-78B, was owned by legendary Hollywood pilot Paul Mantz[2] and flown by employees of his Paul Mantz Aerial Services for filming of the flying sequences.[3] At least two other T-50s are known to have been used for on-ground and in-the-cockpit scenes as well as a Beechcraft in a lost episode.[4]

The best-known Songbird was a twin-engine Cessna 310B. The airplane used was the second production 310B (N5348A), which was provided by Cessna at no cost to the producers and piloted by Cessna's national sales manager for the 310, Bill Fergusson. Fergusson got the job after the motion picture pilot already selected was deemed unqualified to land the airplane at some of the off-airport sites required. Some months after a library of stock footage had been compiled, additional sequences were filmed using a different airplane.[5] The original 310B was eventually destroyed in a 1962 crash at Delano, California, that killed its owner-pilot.[6] Cockpit sequences were filmed using the static test fuselage, also provided by Cessna.[7]

A byproduct of the use of the Cessna 310 as Sky King's "Songbird" was the name becoming attached to the 310 series. Cessna has never given the 310 a type name (though most Cessnas were given such names, e.g., the 337 "Skymaster", 172 "Skyhawk", and 182 "Skylane"), but because of its use in Sky King, Cessna 310s are known as "Songbirds" within the aviation community."
