Okay, First I need to correct the misinformation previously written (probably by an owner of a Red car) on this thread.
First, Sky King flew a Cessna. The plane was name ‘The Songbird’. I have been told by people much older than I, he in fact, replaced his original plane in the later days of the series with an ‘updated’ plane but it was still a Cessna. While the series was shown in back & white; I have it on good authority that the Songbird was actually painted blue………….. I am just saying.
Second, it is true that old Sky had a ‘niece’ her name was Penny. He also had a ‘nephew’ his name was Clipper. I do not judge; you know ‘don’t ask/ don’t tell’ & all that…………… I am just saying.
Now that we have corrected the misinformation; Saturday actually looks like a pretty good day. As of now the risk of rain during the day is fairly low. I am not so sure there will be too much sunshine but the day does look fairly good all things considered.
So I guess the event is on. A group is planning to meet at the Ranger Station in Hampshire. We plan on hitting the road by about by 10:30 or so. Looks like we may well have a dozen or so cars in Rockford!!
Hope to see y’all there.
