Well then there was Ripcord, and if you wanted things settled by a Dolphin there was Flipper, or a Bear- Gentle Ben.

It was just uncanny how every problem could be solved with an airplane. Later, Lloyd Bridges taught us that problems were solved underwater in Sea Hunt.

I think it was a Cessna UC-78 that first year. Unless I'm misremembering it.

The reason I say that is that is as a kid I sent a letter to the people making Sky King and asked and that is, IIRC, what they told me.

UC-78 is a later designation of the AT-17 that Borchardt mentioned.

I remember when Sky King was a radio show.
