Even as I inch closer to 70, I still watch Sky King with fondness and an eager nostalgia for the wholesome values during that period. The aerial scenes were certainly gripping but the underlying message of patriotism and a love for country always rang true especially with America dealing with the specter of the Cold War at that time. Subversion was exposed, freedom was hailed and the ideals of liberty were loudly proclaimed without apology. Sky King, with its simple moral compass, still resonates for me to this day.
