For those which didn't know anything about it, like me:
Sky King was an American radio and television series of the Fifties. Its lead character was Arizona rancher and aircraft pilot Schuyler "Sky" King. The series may have been based on a true-life personality of the 1930s, Jack Cones, known as the "Flying Constable" of Twentynine Palms in San Bernardino County, California, although this notion is unverified.
The series had strong Western elements. King usually captured criminals and spies and found lost hikers, though he did so with the use of his airplane, the Songbird. Two twin-engine Cessna airplanes were used by King during the course of the TV series. The first was a Cessna T-50 and in later episodes a Cessna 310B was used till the series' end. The 310's make and model type number was prominently displayed during the closing titles.
King and his niece Penny lived on the Flying Crown Ranch, near the fictitious town of Grover, Arizona depicted below. The original Fs2002 scenery has been done by Bill Lyons and adapted by Ed Moore and Paul Young. Tom and other known people here have contributed too.
