I just couldn't resist posting this advertisement
- and an extract from the accompanying blurb.
"
Special Treats
It's a privilege to report that a particularly special guest at the Fly-In
will be none other than
Chuck (Ken Tobey) star of the renowned
"Whirlybirds"
television series of the 1950s.
"Ken's weekly adventures, with co-star
"P.T." (Craig Hill) alongside in each episode, showcased the capabilities of the Bell 47G and 47J helicopters and kept
several generations of aviation enthusiasts glued to the TV screen.
"Now in his hale 80s, Ken is paying us the honor of turning out for the Fly-In to get reaquainted with the Model 47 and say hello to participants whose commitment to helicopters and the Bell was stimulated by his show."

Who else, remembers them?
I can, but only just - I was very, very young.
Honest answers only, please!
