I have a boxed DVD set that I bought a number of years ago with almost all of the Sky King episodes (I think some are lost). I don't remember where I got it online. I just looked at it and it does not give any indication of ownership or who made the DVDs.
Back in the 60s, our local tv channel in Fresno, CA used to air Sky King, with his niece Penny. For a time, they held a contest. After the show, the station would ask a question regarding the episode. The first person to answer correctly on a 3x5 postcard would get to go up with a pilot in the Cessna 172. I was a consistent winner, and the pilot saw that I was interested in aviation and unofficially began training me. After 18 weeks, the station sent me a letter disqualifying me from further contests as the pilot reported I was becoming a better pilot than him. Unfortunately, color blindness shot down my career.
Great image Thomas, almost out of a Cessna brochure; tight descending right hand turn over a beach at 500', sun on spinning props, landing lights on on nacelles and under std wing, both pilot and passenger looking at camera and prob taken with a high speed drive. When was this taken? 5 stars!
