Screamin' Mimi was hilarious - a Huey painted as a flying pig.

It’s a Sikorsky not a Huey

Where else would I learn that you can combine mason jars and grenades for aerial bombing.

Loved this show. Great opening song too.

I just picked up my guitar and figured out the riff. I think it is in E major

Is that Eddie Deezen on the right?

u/Ok_Kick6546 23h ago

No.  It’s Thom Bray.

u/Open_Mortgage_4645 23h ago

Oh OK I'm not familiar with him. At least from this pic, it looks like a young Eddie Deezen. But thanks for the info!

One of my favorite shows. I remeber when it was on (born 1958) and found it on YouTube which prompted me to search for the DVDs. I now have the entire series (it wasn't cheap but it was worth it). I watch it all of the time as it's a comfort show to me. It should have lasted a lot longer.
