A blast from the past

"From out of the clear blue of the Western sky . . .comes Sky King!"

Here are links to every episode of the "Sky King" TV show. I wonder
if any pilots on this ng were inspired as kids by this how?

Enjoy!

Thanks for the links! We've got several of these episodes on DVD, and
showed them on "Movie Night at the Inn" as part of a double feature.

OMG -- I had forgotten how *sappy* a lot of those old shows really
were! Situations that seemed so cool as a young lad now seemed
absurd, and Penny -- once the girl of my dreams -- was like finger
nails on a black board!

Everyone enjoyed watching the episodes, but only for the nostalgia.
Wouldn't it be great if they could make something like that show again
today, only with more realistic situations and acting?

Well, Wikipedia tells us that "Nabisco sold rights to the series to
Grant in 1959. In later years, [Kirby] Grant considered bringing back
the series and even a "Sky King" theme park, but nothing ever happened
on either of these projects. At least one writer has boilerplated a
"Sky King" film, but none has been produced." Drat!

[Steve Clayworth[_2_]]

Oh, man, I was absolutely inspired by that show. Every Saturday morning at
11:00 AM, I had to be planted on the floor in front of that old 21" TV. It
was marvelous.

Hey. That's a creative idea. What if a talented screen writer
composed a serialized TV series around a flying family in the
aviation-themed hotel business? It could include the childrens'
development and how aviation influences their reality. There could be
scenes of camaraderie of the aviation community, and a little
life-and-death drama of search-and-rescue, the beauty of the skies and
ever-changing landscape vistas, technical issues associated with
maintaining a personal aircraft, airport political action, and all
seasoned with a pinch of family-values schmaltz ala The Waltons.

Line up a screen writer, videographer, and some hands, and "film" a
pilot episode, and submit it in a grant proposal to the Wolf Aviation
Fund*. I don't see why it wouldn't have a high probability of
success.

Yes, at 11:00 AM, I was parked in front of the TV every Saturday
morning watching Sky King. This was the spark that made me know
that I wanted to fly.

OK. . . quick before the links die, please explain to an extreme end-
user, how to save those files to a CD. I am not an audiophile/
videophile, so I would opt for the basic straight forward method,
without any attempt to enhance the recording.

Perhaps like so many things that I remember from my youth as being so
good, I will be disappointed after an episode or two. But it seems to
me that this would be a good way to kill a few hours in the hotel room
during my next few trips.

Thank you so much AJ for posting the links. This was my all time
favorite TV program when I could calculate my age using the fingers on
one hand.

Take care . . .

John

Is there any way to capture these files?

Unfortunately, the 'Save Media As' menu item under the Windows Media
Player 9 'File' pull-down menu is grayed-out, so that's not an option.

Using IE7 on my WinXP system, I find a file named
skyking-1.wmv#0;1.000;0;0;1:2;3:2 in the 'C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files' system folder
with a size of 65,020kb. Doubtless this is the video file, but I'm
not familiar with its format.

Someone in the message thread here:
http://forum.videohelp.com/topic303277.html

says that this program works:
http://www.wmrecorder.com/demo.php
Download and install WM Recorder 12 now, and start recording your
favorite streaming audio and video clips.

This is supposed to work too:
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/CamStudio
CamStudio records all screen activity into the standard AVI (Audio
Video Interleave) format which can be played back with Windows
Media Player.

Finally, this looks promising:

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,66145-page,1-c,audiotools/description.html
WM Downloader is a Windows Media and MP3 Stream Ripper/Grabber
(not direct sound recording program), which makes it easy to
download Windows Video, Windows Audio, SHOUTcast and Icecast
streams.

Hey. It's a start. Perhaps someone can take it from here....

You have a point. Maybe it;s a form of meditation.
