Hey, yeah Dan....the Songbird....that's the ticket, the name of the twin engine plane, and now I'm remembering some brother involved also, and Penny flew the plane as well at times, I vaguely recall.
Pardon me while I chuckle, it just sounds funny about the gorilla in the Whirlybirds. You think those films still exist in some vault, or think were maybe lost/destroyed? You recall the channel? If so, I'll email 'em, not that they'll respond, rarely do I get any response, but will give it a try anyway. Thanks for info.

All 111 episodes of "Whirlybirds" still exist, but they haven't been seen since the early 60s due to poor ratings in re-runs.
The name change to "Copter Patrol" might have had something to do with those poor ratings when "Whirlybirds" was re-run?
"Whirybirds" was syndicated and aired in NYC on local WPIX ch 11 on Thursday nights at 7:30 PM. It ran on different days and times in other cities in the U.S.
CBS/Desilu produced Whirlybirds but have no plans to release it to DVD, so far anyway. But there's always hope because Rod Cameron's "State Trooper" and "Coronado 9" have finally made to DVD after years of Cameron's estate saying his shows will probably never see the light of day again.
Rod Cameron owned all the rights to his syndicted shows. His first TV show was "City Detective."

Whirlybirds: Update -- DAN, 13:04:26 09/22/11 Thu [1]
Torch, I found out there is an 8 episode DVD of Whirlybirds offered on Amazon.com.
I don't know about the quality of the DVD, but I'm going to check into it more.
