After Episode 1 finished, this came up first in the suggestions of what to watch next: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDHSbrPZH4A&NR=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDHSbrPZH4A&NR=1</a> If you like that, there's a slow version, too: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLYPubDHEwc&NR=1">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLYPubDHEwc&NR=1</a>          Mark Alan MacKinnon - Dec 08,2009   Viewers  | Reply     Wow, this is children's television?? Things sure went downhill after Captain Kangaroo.          Charles Pickett - Dec 08,2009   Viewers  | Reply     Don <br />Bad Very BAD          Dave Lima - Dec 09,2009   Viewers  | Reply     That would be pretty good after a Texas mickey and about 6 joints.          Eric Batterman - Dec 08,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I watched these as a kid. They were so bad I netflixed 'em to torture the kids. Gotta love the 'Syncro-Vox' method of superimposing live-action human lips over still frame animation.          Eric Batterman - Dec 08,2009   Viewers  | Reply     From an amazon customer review of the clutch cargo complete DVD set:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clutch-Cargo-Complete-Vol-2/dp/B0007P0YAE">http://www.amazon.com/Clutch-Cargo-Complete-Vol-2/dp/B0007P0<br>YAE</a><br /><br />An exposure to a wide range of absolutely classic aircraft; this is a major selling point of CC (especially for aviation buffs like me)! Amidst all of the goofiness of the characters and events portrayed in this cartoon, it seems that the writers and producers must have been huge aviation fans (perhaps even pilots). Indeed, they take many opportunities to showcase vintage aircraft (even for 1959) throughout the series. Some of the planes to be seen are as follows:<br /><br />1. Bellanca C-27 Airbus (called the 'flying W' because of its unusual strut/lower wing configuration); this is the title character's main airplane and thus gets him and his pals to many of their destinations; it is a rare craft indeed as only a little bit more than 20 were produced from 1929 through the 1930s; there is one plane still surviving at the Tillamook Air Museum in Tillamook, Oregon (website: <a href="http://www.tillamookair.com/">www.tillamookair.com</a>)<br /><br />2. Eastern Airlines Lockheed Super Constellation (accurate down to the thimble-shaped nose and the square windows seen on interior shots!); seen in the first episode, 'The Friendly Headhunters'<br /><br />3. Sikorsky S-38 Flying Boat<br /><br />4. Norduyn Norseman Sea Plane (Clutch flies this plane in an Alaksa-based episode)<br /><br />5. Dehavilland Beaver Sea Plane (a villain flies this plane against Clutch in the Alaska episode referred to above)<br /><br />6. Boeing B-17 (used by Middle Eastern oil merchants to pour ignited oil on Clutch and company... clearly politically incorrect, but such were the times back then)<br /><br />7. Gee Bee R-1 Super Sportster; same plane flown by Jimmy Doolittle to win the 1932 Thompson trophy race; a black-masked villain flies the plain against Clutch and others<br /><br />8. early (around 1907 or so) Curtiss Pusher<br /><br />9. Travelair Biplane<br /><br />10. Dirigible<br /><br />11. 4-ducted fan hovercraft<br /><br />12. F9F Panther<br /><br />There are numerous other aircraft, including many jets, that are featured as well. It can be affirmed with confidence that the aviation enthusiast will not be displeased with the profuse use of aircraft in this cartoon series.          Scott Peters - Dec 08,2009   Viewers  | Reply     Thank you Dan. I had forgot all about that show. What a flashback.          Charles Pickett - Dec 08,2009   Viewers  | Reply     Never seen these before very good          Russ Garner - Dec 09,2009   Viewers  | Reply     I like Don's it would make a good intro to the S&amp;D site.
