I know the shoe was not all that good, but it was great when I was 7 or whatever when it was on..
Worth it to watch the Corsairs.

Can you imagine a show like that being made today as a weekly series? Today's effects and quality of production....man, that would rock.
Just when did we sell all of those AT-6's to Japan?

Conrad is the chit!

Cept the real life Pappy said he would love to have had conrad in his squad back then so he could beat the crap out of him.
I heard that come out of conrads mouth himself LOL
-
If you have season one, then you have all of the entire series' aerial shots. I heard Conrad say once that they only had 1 day of shooting. The insurance was too expensive on those Corsairs. They just kept recycling the footage. Pappy was actually in 1 episode as a visiting General.

I heard one episode had a P-38 in it - something about a hot shot AAF fighter pilot visiting their base and causing some kind of trouble. Anyone remember that, or know if it is in season one?
-
Yep, Season 2. Episode entitled "Hot Shots". It had 2 38's, unless there was some trick photography.

Boyington was an alcoholic before the war ever started.
Oh, and it was a television show, not a documentary. It was never meant to be realistic, it was meant to be entertainment. Kind of like your posts, only they did a better job, they entertained, you're just crappy.

It had two P-38's (they were a lot more common in the 70's. The guest star that flew the P-38 was Frank Converse, who is more famous for playing Will Chandler in the "Movin On" series opposite Claude Akin who played Sonny Pruitt, the owner of the truck they drove.
I'm not sure which P-38's were used, I'd say Dan "Guppy 35" would know.

Y'know
The Corsair type is F4U-7 (aka French Corsair) were used in Baa Baa Black Sheep Show
-
yeah there is a F4U-7 a -1 a -1d and a -4b as well.
Most people would never know..
The show is no worst then the Ateam or airwolf. Still entertaining if you can set aside the realism issues.
-
I barely remember that show, I was 3 or 4 but I liked.
The A-Team was much better than airwolf.
It would allways start out with Face in disguise meeting the client. Then they'd have to go break Murdock out of the mental hospital. They'd allways have to sedate BA to get him onto any aircraft. Murdock would allways wear t-shirts that had something funny written on them. And he'd say wonderful things like "The slinky of destiny is returning to the top of the stairs." Then they'd build a tank out of a lawnmower. Shoot millions of rounds, beat the bad guys, yet never kill anybody. Then at the end of the episode the sound of approaching police sirens told them it was time to flee the scene or go back to prison.
That was a great show.

That was a great show.
Now I thought Airwolf was much better.
While I grant A Team had its moments (Mudock was the best part of the show) as a rule I thought the show in general sucked.
Airwolf to me was...ok.
The best episode for Airwolf though was the first one. If I remember correctly they made it as a kinda made for TV movie like they did with the 6 Million Dollar man.
But isnt that always the case
Now the 6 Million Dollar Man was better then either of the former two. Particularly the first season
-
No way jose, both those shows took themselves way too seriously.
-
I worked on that show and Conrad was an ass. Somewhere, long ago, I related the story of what a hell it was to work with that foul little ego-driven drunkard.
-
LOL I remeber that, what was you name back then Airhead?
