All depends on your accuracy requirements.
I watched the whole thing. I hadn't seen an episode since Saturday mornings at my grandparents' house, before we had our own tv.
May have to watch that.?ÿ Hope Penny has a lot of time in this episode.?ÿ She was the kind of girl that made a young boy want to hurry up and get big enough to ask her for a date.
Man, that stirred up memories of youth. ?????ÿ
Dang it.?ÿ We all get old.?ÿ Turns out Penny would be turning 89 in a couple more months, but she died 10 years ago.
That cute little Mouseketeer named Annette would be turning 78 next month too, but she died in 2013.?ÿ

Now, GET OFF MY LAWN.
I suppose exploding sacks of lime would be halfway close to the line but mighty hard to pick the center of each explosion.?ÿ They took so long they should have covered 10 miles between the first and last sack drop.

Since the actress Gloria Winters was about 20 years older than you, that was an unlikely prospect even if you lived close. The character she played was somewhat younger, though.

Highway Patrol starring Broderick Crawford was a better show but it didn??t have Schuyler King??s ??niece? in it, though.
Man, that stirred up memories of youth. ?????ÿ
Circus Boy, Fury, Sky King on Saturday morning, and maybe a Roy Rogers movie in the afternoon.

I used to watch classical music videos on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.

Oh, yeah.?ÿ Some people called them cartoons.

You would think a smart guy like that would have figured out how many sacks he needed for his line marking, but if he had any left over, wouldn't have kept the weight in the plane for a race.?ÿ
That is on MeTV in the middle of the night on weekdays.?ÿ Tough to sleep and watch at the same time.
That is for sure.?ÿ The music was crucial to the setting.
I was probably about 8 at the time and she was playing a character closer to 16 so the gap didn't seem to be the actual 22 years.
We didn't get a TV in the house until sometime in 1958 and it seems like Sky King wasn't one of the Saturday morning offerings on our local station until several years later.

A similar but more sophisticated technique was used in Alaska, the Hover Sight. This
device enabled a helicopter pilot to see a spot on
the ground directly beneath a flashing target on top
of his hovering helicopter. At last the surveyor had
a range pole that was high enough. The theodolite
parties used radios to talk the flashing target to a
point directly over the precomputed position for
the monument. The pilot or his assistant then
dropped an iron pipe monument draped with
colored flagging directly onto the point to be
monumented, or very close to it.?ÿ
my current boss worked in Alaska, he described a process like that using a sight on a helicopter. I think he said they had to be within 2 meters. He said every season he worked up there at least one helicopter was lost.
