170 on "Sky King"

I was watching "Sky King" TV programs on the internet and Episode 24 features several scenes of a 1948 170 engaged in crop dusting. If you liked the old "Sky King" TV program go to http://www.americanflyers.net/entertainment/skyking.asp
Click on episode 24 "Dust of Destruction" for the 170. Some of the programs have his "Bamboo Bomber" Cessna and some of the programs have his later 310 Cessna.

Those old Sky KIng videos are neat! I just discovered them when I signed up with American Flyers for my CFI renewal. My girls have been watching them with me. A little hoakey but still lots of fun!

What a novel concept, an action hero that doesn't have to cuss, has family values, and has a story line with a lesson in good morals in every episode. I've watched them ALL! Have a friend with a Bamboo Bomber. Neat plane. There are several episodes with the 170 in them. Should be required watching for todays kids. Jon

Naww, Jon. That wouldn't work. We'd have to forbid them to watch 'em.

I agree- I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once. The seat folded
up, the drink spilled and that ice, well, it really chilled the mood.

Yeah, Rudy. But you should've tried it with a partner instead of alone!
