Did you watch the TV show : Baa Baa Blacksheep? Here is the F4U story!

[Stampede]

If you grew up watching the Baa Baa Blacksheep TV show in the mid 1970s then you'll remember the best part of the show was seeing the Vought F4Us in action. Even if it wasn't exactly always accurate as the show was filmed in California after all. Here is the full story of the pilots and actual planes that you saw each week...enjoy!

I couldn't wait for it either. Interesting how many of the guys were either well known character actors from the 1970/80s; and others became bigger stars after the show aired. Larry Manetti was later in Magnum PI and John Larroquette was on Night Court and other shows.

The opening for your enjoyment....good musical score.
