Looks like the picture of the zeppelin and the bi-planes on the box is a sticker:

Same goes for the picture on the cart and the end label of the cart:
http://www.atariage....wareLabelID=811

The model number on the cart is the same as the one on the Riddle of the Sphinx picture label.

You can even make out the Riddle of the Sphinx title on the end label of the cart's front scan and the Sky Patrol end label sticker is suddenly gone now.

IMO it's a fake and not a genuine production label.

Who made these scans?

Not surprising considering the cart and box were CES mock-ups.

Bob Smith brought those to CGE in 1999, so the original scans likely were done by Scott Stilphen or one of the CGE guys.

Thanks.

Tempest, I think it's time to update your Sky Patrol page.

Yes it appears I'll have to do that.

WTF? Since when are prototypes called "fake"?

It's not a fake, it's an 'official' mock up. It's fake in that it's not a real production label (as I had thought), but rather a 'real' mock-up.

Exactly.

Excellent.

My problem is that I always went left (which is the direction most of the lower wind currents seem to go), so I never saw all the cool stuff to the right!
