I just ripped “Black Sheep Squadron” and put it onmy home video server. Great show! I read about it on FR a few months back.
We are only four miles from “Pappy Boyington Field” in Coeur d’Alene, ID. The native of Coeur d’Alene is a Medal of Honor recipient. Lt. Col. Pappy Boyington shot down 26 enemy planes in World War II air battles in the Pacific Theater, while commanding VMF Fighter Squadron 214 in the Central Solomon Islands between Sept. 12, 1943, and Jan. 3, 1944.
A couple summers ago, VMFA-214, the original Black Sheep Squadron, visited us with six F-35B Lightnings.
Good to know. There’s an old episode of Black Sheep Squadron that involves a couple of P-38 Lightnings. It’s a great episode.
Somehow or other, in the past couple of weeks, in an FR thread, or as a result of one, I learned that John LaRoquette was in Bah Bah Black Sheep and/or Black Sheep Squadron. Rather than stream it, I’ve been thinking about hunting down a full-series disk set.
