Wouldn't it be great if they could make something like that show again
today, only with more realistic situations and acting?


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.
