Wings

Loved that show!

You can imagine my disappoint my first time into ACK and I realized the terminal didn't look like that on the inside. The restaurant did have a "Roy Biggins For Town Council" poster, though...and great clam chowder!

One of my favorite things about the holidays… discovery would run a 24 hour wings marathon on New Year’s Day. Little poser, a bunch of cool new Christmas presents, and a whole day of wings? I came out of my room to poop and that was about it.

Oh man, I had totally forgotten about that!

You can find them all on YouTube!

Wings of the Red Star…man, what a soundtrack for that show, along with Sir Pete Ustinov.

Yeah I did find them. At some point, maybe it was a copyright issue, the XB-70 episode (and I think the F-14 one) lost the original mood music/soundtrack on most youtube links, replaced by some modern sounding garbage. 70% of the experience is the narrator, and the music I remember. So I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to track down a copy with the original, which I did eventually. I do still have almost the whole series recorded on VHS at my parents house, in case of zombie apocalypse though

Was that show inspired by Cape Air? They could do a sequel with Tecnam's instead of 402's.

With all the influencers nowadays it’ll probably be like a reality show. Albeit I haven’t seen any Cape Air influencers. I guess props aren’t cool enough 🤷‍♂️.

I’ve got time in both! Although I didn’t know 160PB was associated with Wings. They repainted 121PB while I was there and that decal never came back.

I came here to post this picture. I have one circa-2012, shot on a Blackberry. It doesn't look as nice as yours.

I loved the show and loved Cape Air.

Mine would be from 2013 (started late 2012), shot on the mighty iPhone 4. They were fun times…

Why didn't Roy just put a couple Shorts 360s on the Nantucket to Boston run, charge $10 a seat until Aeromass pushed those pesky Hacket boys and their clapped out 402 into bankruptcy?

On the other hand, if the Hackets could cancel all their flights for a week to take Carlton to Albequerque so he could see his brother, what kind of business model did they really have anyway?

Is this an Irish thing, laddy?🤣
 
The Pluto app had a channel where it just played wings on repeat. During covid, I watched alot of Wings. There was a couple episodes that I couldnt find anywhere, but knew I had seen before and found out there are 20+ episodes that you can no longer find due to music licensing issues, so unless you have DVD box set, you cant see them.

GEEEZUUUS Zap. I have met you. We broke bread and had a beer together once. I honestly thought you were smarter than this. I have read your thoughts for years.

Clearly the Hacket brothers and "Sandpiper Air" were simply a front for their true activities - smuggling for Amado Carillo Fuentes - El Senor de Los Cielos. At the time he was the most powerful trafficker in Mexico and largely kept things somewhat orderly until his death - he was running multiple cargo 727's between Columbia and Mexico full of coke. I seriously thought you were smarter than this. Dummy up, buddy.

That's a bummer they didn't keep that, when I left in '11 the "new" paint scheme was still getting to the rest of the fleet. All the PB's (120, 121, 160, 258, maybe more that's just what I have in my logbook) were former Provincetown-Boston Airlines birds from what I was told (peanut butter airlines lol).
