A shadowy flight into the dangerous world...

(First, Happy Memorial Day! Especially to our brave servicemen and women, and their families.)

Yes, it's an older article, but I came cross this on FB.

K.I.T.T. Comes to Life as Knight Rider Vehicle Replicas

A list of all of their Knight Rider models and other merchandise.

Knight Rider KITT vs. KARR! Hot Wheels Elite 1:18 | Heavy MeTal Models

I like the touches of the fold down back seat, and especially the touch of making KITT and KARR's CPU casings different.

Some things are a little fabricated, such as the cars having retro-rockets (which did look nice, though) and the location of the CPUs. The KITT model here still has the singular red square voice box. But they look nice overall.

I'm still waiting for the day when someone makes a KITT model with a three bar voice box and single monitor dashboard, as opposed to sticking to what he looked like at the beginning of the first season.

The model / toy should be available come March 1, 2014, and the cost is expected to be about $60.

Sadly, we do have two deaths to report, both from the episode Short Notice. - Joe Conley (who played the motel manager where Michael and Nicole stayed at), and Dennis Berkley (Tiny). Mr. Conley died on July 7th. Mr. Berkley passed away a few days later, he was sixty-seven. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their loved ones.

In happier news:

Hallmark has released their 2013 KITT Keepsake Christmas ornament.

Hot Wheels will soon be announcing the release date for KARR in their Elite line.

Finally, a very Happy (and belated) Birthday to David Hasselhoff from all of us at Shadowy Flight!
