Remember the Discovery channel show called Wings?
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!

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.

Dogfights? Around Nantucket? In the '90's? Big Grin

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

I believe you're confusing the sitcom "Wings"



...with the Discover channel documentary series "Wings."


Both were good shows.

And I believe you’re confusing my post with Captain Morgan’s. Big Grin
