Like Mike Hotchkiss, whose encounter with Sky King (Kirby Grant)  is in today's Co-Pilot, I'm a Boomer, too. His piece appealed to me because I was also a fan of "Sky King."

OK, not exactly Sky King, but I wanted to be his niece, Penny. Imagine: a teenage girl flying an airplane! I loved it when he would leave her at the controls and remind her to keep her chin up.

Like most old TV shows, this one is available on DVD.

And I learned something: Sky's real name was Schuyler.
