Thanks ☺️ sorry for late reply don’t check this channel at all glad you enjoyed 🥹😄

Haha how looks that 😝 I wouldn’t of known that 😜 thanks for watching dude 🙌🏼

It came out of a tube though; so likely not an actual Maverick missile; just the name of the weapons system on Airwolf.

@@johnbower7452 Naa man. There's only one Maverick missile and that's for air to ground engagements by radar guidance (think they have a laser guided version of it too? 🤔) . Then again, it was the "cheesy 80's" where you could make an ass out of people who don't know all this shit. So it's all cool anyways! 👍 😂

@@alilaldin2708 - Actually RnD into A2A abilities for the Maverick did occur. It is actually in the realm of possibility. Laser and TV guided A2A and SAM systems did exist. Reliability didn't hold up as aircraft got faster and faster and flew higher and higher. I know the US Navy now has Burkes lugging around Mavericks in their launch tubes. And AGM-86 Maverick wasn't meant for Ship Deployment originally. At the same time the actual testing of what would become the AIM-9 Sidewinder, involved tracking and targeting of Ground Vehicles. Honestly, the pilots only locked up Greyhound Buses and Trains for kicks, but it proved that the AIM-9 Sidewinder could be used for A2G in a pinch. But most importantly... What were the chances the show's staff even knew about the actual AGM-86 Maverick?

@@FLJBeliever1776 For maybe ordinary helis, probably would work. But for more fast and manoeuvrable targets like a fighter jet or even another clone of Airwolf, this would be a really bad choice. The AGM-86 mavericks are too bulky and not designed to be manoeuvrable enough to take on a fighter jet unless it's already battle damaged then maybe you can finish it off then with it.

Awesome show for it’s time be great if they did a re make of it I think still wouldn’t beat the old actors though 🙂 thanks for watching.

@@airwolfjames8985 Careful selection of actors, and practical effects not all CGI, It was the fantastic flying of the stunt pilots and the beauty of the bell222 that made the series.

@@dogwalker666 all of that is true, plus almost all of Air Wolf's moves were speed up on film to increase the apparent speed, maneuverability and agility of the helo. Nothing ever built can actually do what Air Wolf did on film. Awesome flying, scenery and battle sequences!

@@K3Flyguy oh obviously it was sped up, but it was awesome flying skills by the stuntmen and that sequence when she rises from below is iconic.

Although they use RC models most of the footage that you actually see in the show is the real aircrafts. I meet two of the people involved in the production of the series and they explained that was one the reason why it had a short life( the TV show), it was extremely expensive to shoot (fuel, maintenance and the appropriate personnel) for a TV's show. Also then Jan-Michael Vincent personal problems with alcohol brought down their demise. Still a well loved and remembered show.

Oops thanks for the heads up I’m terrible at checking things like that lol 🤦🏼‍♂️

@@airwolfjames8985 LOL me too!

Story was about a Supersonic Stealth Combat Helicopter designed to resemble a Civilian Helicopter.

You idiot airwolf is the fastest helicopter in the universe I agree with fljbeaver
