Did anyone ever see the Blue Angels TV show filmed in the 1960s ?

39 episodes were filmed.

Yes, I did. But the dialog had been dubbed into spanish -with a mexican accent- which made it sound funny.

On top of it, mexicans never failed to insert a reference to their country in the dialog, whether it had anything to do with the plot or not . . .

Black and white show, I recall some episodes dealing with the Blue Angels flying missions during the Korean "Police Action"

Saludos,

Here's a link to the episode list:

Any good flying done for the show, or just a lot of stock footage?

According to the link posted by Chris, Burt Reynolds and Ernest Borgnine were in some of the episodes. I never missed Whirlybird, Combat !, McHales Navy, or any other war movie when I was little, don't know how I missed this one.
