* I hope you identified that title quote without clicking on the secret asterisk link. Fond memories of childhood. But it wasn’t until just now, this morning, that I found out that Melody Patterson was actually only 15 when she played Wrangler Jane. Who knew?
Not very far from where I live is the Goodyear Blimp Base at the Pompano Beach Airport.
Lots of fun to go over and watch them launch and land…
I recognized the quote… sad to say, I can probably quote most of the theme song. And I thought giving the lines ahead of the actors during a Star Trek episode was pathetic.
Back when I was a student at Michigan State the Goodyear Blimp buzzed the campus during the football game once or twice… and it buzzed my then-hometown of Flint while covering the Buick Open. It’s an impressive sight.... hard to believe anything that large can get off the ground.
Way back in the 80’s I bought 4 gator backs for my MR2. With the purchase I also received a ticket for a free blimp ride on the Goodyear blimp. So cool but so LOUD. Besides Lake Erie this was the only real perk to living in NE Ohio.
