Steve Canyon TV series (1950’s)

Pretty neat, actual Air Force maneuvers, etc… stories create from Declassified information too…

Pretty cool. I hope they use the atomic powered seaplane the strip had in the ‘50’s.

Thank you!  That was fun.

One of my great treasures as a child was my "Steve Canyon lunch box and thermos". I wish I still had it. My B-52 lunch box was pretty cool too.

My favorite was the pictures of fighters and bombers printed on the little square of paper glued on the end of every loaf of bread to hold the wrapper together..

The whole series is also on Peacock streaming.

Fun to watch.  Some interesting real life footage.

Free on Plex and YouTube, lots of options to view. The one episode where they show the hydrogen bomb drop was something…

I have been binge watching these. The first 5-6 episodes were pretty cool. After that it was just a soap opera with little flying. I think the AF lost the will to supply free flying time. Almost everything in the later episodes is just stock footage and static cockpit shots. With a few shots of actors in aircraft being towed on the ramp.

Agree, kinda of sputtered but, still something to watch…
