I remember that opening of each episode VERY well! I would grab the little toy F-102 that I had made by Processed Plastics and have it in hand as I watch the show/ WAY different than a lot of crap on todays TV!! I'm sure that some one would find a way that this would be offensive to them!!!

Having enlisted in Nov 1960 all the Chevrons in the movie were just like those when I was enlisted, sure did enjoy the presentation thanks a lot

Thanks, I was always working when the show was on the air. D>K

My father was an Air Reservist at O'Hare at the time...would watch Steve Canyon and complain bitterly about how fake it was.

Milton Caniff did BOTH Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon.
Terry and the Pirates was based on The Flying Tiger and the publisher who owned the rights demanded that it always be so.
Caniff created Steve Canyon to be an ongoing modern USAF comic strip that followed the progress of the Air Force.
Too bad, both fine comic strips died with their creator.
There is a fine stature of Steve Canyon in Idaho Springs Colorado which is also the home town of Rebert Redford in The Downhill Racer.

I miss BOTH Steve Canyon AND Terry and the Pirates in the papers. Seems to me there are OTHER episodes on Youtube, including one with Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy!). Remember, Vulcan's lifespan is a LOT longer than human's.

All TV shows and movies about the military, police, firemen, lawyers, and doctors are FAKE.
If they were realistic they wouldn't last two weeks.
Workers are lucky to have ONE interesting incident in their whole career, let alone every week.
How many lifeguards actually saved somebody?
But, in the episode where Steve Canyon had to shoot down an B-47 because the cabin pressure failed and it was headed for Russia. Did you see that?
Unrealistic, but Payne Stewart's private jet did the same thing. It ran out of fuel before it got to Canada.

Lifeguards, in Australia, save people every day. Watch Bondi Rescue. Just saying.

It ran out of fuel, but there were two Air Force fighters escorting it and ready to take it down if it was deemed necessary. You should ride with a cop for a shift in a city like St. Louis, or Washington D.C. , Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, or one of the other large cities. Or ride with an EMT or fire truck crew if you think it is that boring. As a family member of a retired 40 year veteran Lieutenant of the City of St. Louis Police Department ( my older brother Tim ), and another who was a 20 year veteran of the City of Kirkwood, MO Police Department as a Sargent when he was brutally ambushed and murdered in the line of duty, ( my cousin Bill) there is definitely more to it than "once a life time" interaction! Hand me a cold beer or two and I could type for hours on the some of the stuff my brother got into, and that would only be the stuff he told me that I could remember ! It ain't all like Sherriff Andy and Deputy Barney!

When I was stationed at Naha Air Base Okinawa, in 1963-64, we used to watch the Steve Canyon show in the dayroom.
One thing we noticed was that the airplane flight photos they showed were very inaccurate. The airplane would take off as an F-102, change to an F-100, the an F-84, and then change back to an F-102 when it landed.
Reality was not a strong suit on the Steve Canyon show.
