    That show helped steer me to Marine aviation... my old squadron was led by Pappy Boyington back in 1942.

    RIP Robert Conrad... Godspeed and fair winds.

    RIP sir. One of my favorite shows growing up. Ba Ba Black Sheep.

    I used to watch that. I remember Peter Frampton was a guest star in one episode.

    I even bought a model of an F4U Corsair. :p

    R.I.P Pappy

    Sorry, but he never earned that title or the respect with which it was given. He was a damn goodd actor playing the part of a Marine Icon and nothing more.

    RIP, I loved the Wild, Wild West also. According to this 1994 Larry King Interview Robert did not enjoy acting in them though.
