  • Dash Riprock and Festus.

  • @niflap I heard a story that ken curtis actually made a jump and the director and producers were mad as hell when they found out....

    Not sure if it's true but its a story I heard.... I would think ken hard plenty of nerve...

  • Let's see if I can figure this out; the show's called 'Ripcord', but the episode's called 'Radar Rescue'?

  • Too bad Cessna 210's at that time didn't have autoland so Charlie Kern could join them at the ski lodge. He could have set autopilot for auto return to base, except light planes still don't have that feature, & commercial planes that do aren't cleared for that use. So ever sans class warfare, Charlie physically could not have delivered himself the way he delivered his employers. Even if he WAS chief pilot.

  • The episode shows a lot of old aircraft. That why I like the series. In this episode the guy who crashes is flying a piper caribean, shown in the cockpit of a early sixties era 100 200 series cessna , and shows him crashing a Taylor craft. And the airforce pilot are flying a b52 but in the cockpit of a b29 or b50.

  • Never fly in 749X-ray

  • shug and festus was with sons of pioneers

  • 3:46=If it weren't for airborne "elevator operators", skydivers wouldn't have class either back then-unless they base jumped.

  • @sm9847 Landing was my big hangup too. Round "rags"(I call them "butt-bangers) Set me down w/ a bruising "kerthump". Thank God 4 PLF's. Made 3 jumps under 390 "Goliaths at Kapowsin Washington. I never thought a soft parachute landing possible, but those rectangular parawings were sweet

  • If weren't 4 airborne elevator operators, you'd have no chance of jumping into the ski lodge.
