“Whirlybirds” was a made-for-syndication series, like “Highway Patrol” and “Sea Hunt,” thus different markets/localities ran it on different days and times. But, it was nonetheless a particularly popular syndicated series, and circulated rather widely.
Now those two I remember. Crawford and Bridges.
My library just got a set of Sea Hunt DVD’s . . .
and though I vaguely remember whirlybirds, I can’t recollect it (also losing my memory at the age of 60).
10-4.
Now Kenneth Toby, you will recall, was the hero in “The Thing from Another World.”
