Did you know

Referenced in Jimmy Buffett's song "Pencil Thin Mustache": "Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny".

The T-50's used in the military were referred to as "Bamboo Bomber" because they were made mostly of wood. The first "Songbird" was one of these planes repurposed for the TV show.

There were two "Songbirds" used in the series--the first was a Cessna T-50 Bobcat, the second was a Cessna 310B.
