Sky King


Sky and his niece, Penny (and sometimes Clipper, his nephew) lived on the Flying Crown Ranch, near the (fictitious) town of Grover City, Arizona. Penny and Clipper were also pilots, though still relatively inexperienced and looking to their uncle for guidance and mentoring. Penny was an accomplished air racer and rated multiengine pilot, who Sky trusted to fly the Songbird.

As a kid I loved to watch the series "Sky King". Sky, Penny, Clipper, and others were always in some sort of trouble each week, but Sky and the Song Bird would always end the show with a smile and a happy ending. I now view the episodes and have to smile at the early TV style of production and the crude special effects. I suppose it was state of the art back then. At any rate, if you remember Sky King, you will enjoy watching again. Thank you L.A. for this link.
