One of my favorite shows. I vhs taped 18 shows. I converted them to dvd Three shows per disc. F4U,P38,F6F F4/F,F105,F86 FW190,ME110,JU87 B17,B24,B29 P51,P47,Spitfire F14,F15,F18 I miss that show so much. If anyone would be interested, I could make some copies and send them to you. I lurked here for four or five years before I joined. I don't post much, but I look in every day. Maybe this could be my Karma for such a great forum!

Wings was a great show. Pretty sure I saw all of them.

So was I. Great show.
On of the actors who played one of the brothers, Steven Weber, was in a made-for-TV remake of The Shining that was pretty good. I just saw it was produced by King because of his dissatisfaction with the Kubrick version with Jack Nickelson.
Tony Shalhoub got his start in that show. In fact, recently Para mentioned that it was rare to have a character from a comedy sitcom get their own spin-off show. It could be argued that Monk is such a production. Maybe not exactly the way Para was saying, but no Wings, no Monk.

Yes I remember it. Loved the show.
I also enjoyed Dogfights. They did computer simulations of each dogfight. Awesome stuff.

Opps, looks like I'm in the wrong. That wasn't on Discovery. I'll just say I enjoyed both.

I believe you're confusing the sitcom "Wings"
...with the Discover channel documentary series "Wings."
