"Wings"! It stirred faded memories. Our family got cable in the early 1990s in India. Discovery and National Geographic were staples. Quite possibly---though I can neither confirm nor deny---that is how I got proper wind of the Black Bird. I just saw that YouTube has the episode... and, looks like it features Brian Shul.
Hope everyone is safe.On lighter note, This has been my fantasy, to land a plane.
PS: I am not a pilot, but never missed single episode of Discovery "Wings" as a Kid.
You’re the first person in any forum online I’ve seen reference Wings. My dads friend used to call my dad to tell him it was on and he’d switch from whatever ninja turtles / golden girls / simpsons episode we were watching. We despised wings! But actually it’s a great show.
> I watched it for three hours and it got to the final scene to reveal whodunnit and the tape ran out.
I ran into one of these on Youtube just a couple of weeks ago. The reaction in the comments was something less than amused.
(Bittersweet memories of taping over some of Mom's seemingly non-important video in order to record...what was it, the first X-files episode? A _Wings_ episode about a favorite jet? Something like that. But man, she was not happy.)
Interesting to see the service rivalries in this thread. My dad was Air Force and he likes this plane.
It is an interesting challenge arming up for war. I recall watching nearly every episode of Wings (which was a Discovery channel show that each episode focused on a single plane) and was really impressed at how people thought about things. The show on the A-10 is on youtube in 5 parts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM2KbwPMU18) and its worth a watch.
