Not really a kids TV show.

One episode was about heroin smuggling at Kadena AFB in Okinawa!

And a correction - Convair was not a sponsor, but...

"While Convair did not finance the program, the company had a major behind-the-scenes presence:
Hardware & Footage: Convair provided the U.S. Air Force and Pegasus Productions with authentic equipment, mock-ups, and film footage.
Featured Aircraft: The series heavily featured Convair's cutting-edge jets, most notably the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart.
Storylines: The very first episode, "Operation Towline," centered on an experimental mission to develop an anti-missile system using Convair F-102 fighters. "

Glad you enjoyed!
