Knight Wolf
Airwolf is one of the most enjoyable series from the 80's. There is not much to say about it rather than it's got terrific story line, music and it's fully action packed. The Pilot starts of the series by the helicopter being stolen by its creator Dr. Charles Henry Moffett, who sells it to Libyan mercenaries. One of the deputy director of the agency which developed Airwolf, calls for the help of a reclusive pilot who agrees to help them only if they locate his brother Sinjin who is MIA in Nam. Hawke successfully recovers Airwolf, but keeps it for himself because the agency, known as the FIRM, wasn't able to locate his brother. As long as Hawke is keeping Airwolf, the FIRM will keep looking for his brother but also Hawke has to fly Airwolf for the FIRM missions in return. The pilot episode is mostly talk and less action, but you will find the story to be quite entertaining. Well that's all folks, see it for yourself and you'll start to like it.

My love of the Airwolf Television series is based on what great TV is all about: meaningful writing, strong characters, justice and a beautiful helicopter. I loved the music and the drama. I found my- self drawn to the TV set every Saturday night when Airwolf was on CBS. Some episodes were better than others but none of them disappointed me. I wanted the show to go on forever. Of course that is unrealistic. Still, when I met the helicopter in Van Nuys, CA in 1986 I was so honored and overwhelmed. "The Lady" will live in my heart forever.

Hollywood enjoyed a period of unprecedented interest in technology during the mid-1980s with super vehicle shows such as AIRWOLF, BLUE THUNDER, THE HIGHWAYMAN, KNIGHT RIDER and the underated STREET HAWK.Borne from the mind of one of US Television's most creative writers of quality entertainment - Donald P. Bellisario who brought us TALES OF THE GOLDEN MONKEY, MAGNUM P.I., QUANTUM LEAP and currently with the military drama series, J.A.G., it had everything with action, adventure, espionage, adult scripts, international intrigue, coupled with real-world politics (which is rare in Hollywood) even pushing some right-wing, hawkish politics into the middle of the action.With grim-as-granite Jan-Michael Vincent in the main role as loner pilot, Stringfellow Hawke, aided by Oscar-winning movie veteran, Ernest Borgnine and a support cast including movie actor, Alex Cord (and C.I.A. Deputy Director - Michael Archangel) and TV regular Jean Bruce Scott, it was a show on the edge, that, with the exciting aerial climax at the end of most episodes pushed the boundaries of television with its movie quality action sequences, technology and locations (including the beautiful Monument Valley in Utah).It now has a sizeable following of loyal fans worldwide (the Wolf Pack), including many people who became pilots (military and commercial) through their love of the show - many fans of which have been following the commercially successful shows of Donald Bellisario (Belisarius Productions) from its humble beginnings in the early 1980s, including the current success of J.A.G. on CBS.A show which deserved a bigger following at the time, it's a rare gem of television history.

This is one of my all time favorite T.V. series. The only problem I have is that it is no longer on the air here. Is there a cable station that it airs on? How do I obtain copies of this great show? Give me a hollar at: Trosperjam@yahoo.com
