WOW! This takes me back a bit, remember it well, used to look forward to what happened next. The theme as I remember is of ex WW2 pilots starting their own airline business.

Sadly many failed before they got of the ground. But Ruskin was making it. They were going to hire a Lockheed Constellation as said in the thread. But the Aircraft needed maintenance, the main draw back was the cost of the fuel to fly the airoplane. Which the budget for the series would not allow.
