"Out of the clear blue of the western sky comes Sky King" was the opening of the 1950s US TV show that introduced thousands of kids to aviation. Sky and his niece Penny used an airplane instead of horses on their Arizona ranch in weekly adventures. A Cessna T-50 was the first "Songbird" replaced in 1956 by a new Cessna 310B. Built in 1960, N6817T "Songbird III" pays homage to those days complete with the Flying Crown Ranch insignia on the fuselage.
