Skyhawks

"Skyhawks" was a 17-episode animated series cartoon sponsored by Mattel Toys. Each episode consisted of two adventures. The series originally aired from September 6, 1969 to September 4, 1971 on ABC Television. It was a Pantomime Pictures/Ken Snyder Production.

Plot

Skyhawks, Inc. was a family-run daredevil air transport rescue service stationed at San Marcos Field. The leader of the Wilson family was Mike “Cap” Wilson, a widower and leader of the team. "Cap" Wilson learned how to fly during World War II where he achieved the rank of Colonel. "Cap" had come from a long line of aviators, his father Pappy Wilson had been a World War I flying ace. "Cap" had 17-year old twins named Steve and Carolyn. His father Pappy had two foster kids, 14-year old Baron "Red" Hughes and his 9-year old sister Cynthia. The Wilson crew also comprised "Cap"s girlfriend Maggie McNally, and Joe Conway was the Skyhawks' chief mechanic. During emergencies, the team would be out saving troubled charter planes, rescue helicopter pilots, transport air freight, or run secret government missions. San Marcos Field also was the home base of the Skyhawks' unscrupulous competitor, Buck Devlin and his pilots.
