RIP Jean Michael Vincent...loved the series , my favourite Saturday TV by a mile...I'm 52 now.

What an incredibly beautiful machine, to this day I've yet to see another helicopter look more beautiful and menacing than Airwolf

At that time I'm just 7yrs old and I watch that series with my whole family and now it's been a long time to see this clip remind me my childhood days thnx alot for this reminder🥰🥰🥰love from Pakistan

I'm 53 and it gives me goose-pimples to watch this. That was a different time back then with the cold war and patriotism. Beautiful machine. Great stunt flying.

It was gorgeous then and remains so today. A timeless beauty of a helicopter.

My dad worked for SABC in PE, I met Jan Micheal Vincent face to face and shook his hand will never forget his voice and smile. Thank you for this, I lost my dad to Cancer in 2012 so this brought back a great memory.

One of the most beautifully crafted flying machines i'v seen in the last 41 years of my life! "AirShark" could also fit quite well for it.

I love this video. Airwolf and Blue Thunder are the reason I have been working on military helicopters for over 30 years. AH-64A, UH-60 A/L/M, HH-60M and now MH-60R as a civilian for the Navy.

Had the opportunity to see the LADY once as a kid, truly an awesome sight to see your dream in person!!!!I wish she was kept and preserved for all to enjoy instead of being stripped, then sold as an air ambulance and ultimately crashing. She will be missed by those who grew up watching her!

Great Memories. Still hear the overlayed howling sound when the lady appears. 80´s series, best era ever.

That visual and howling sound is unmistakable thanks for transporting me back to a time where everything seemed possible

Air wolf and Knight Rider changed my childhood

I remember my dad taking me to see Airwolf in Pretoria. Even 35 years later I still remember it vividly.

I get the fans wishing there were the iconic howls and growls, etc... but seriously, seeing and hearing Airwolf simply BE an actual, real authentic aircraft was awesome. Nowadays it would all be CGI - but this was frikkin' real. No SFX. No dubbing. No music. Just a formidable, beautiful and deadly aircraft being exactly what it was.

Wow.... The Lady! Must have been incredible to see her live and in person. I can't even imagine. It breaks my heart that she was sold off and crashed... they should have preserved her for future generations to enjoy.

I remember when it came to Kempton Park Checkers. It Landed and then Jan-Michael Vincent Climbed out of the cockpit wearing a light brown leather jacket. My self and my oldest cousin were very excited that day. Thanks for putting this up it brought back some memories

What a blast from the past, such great nostalgia. To this day there's nothing like Airwolf, if it had the capabilities in the show it would make even today's military helicopters look obsolete, thanks for posting.

I was about 6 when Airwolf landed at Checkers in Kempton Park (old Transvaal) and it was an incredible dream come true!! I still have very blurry photos of it passed down by my mom.

Who ever posted this - thank you. My dad is in this video as he was the engineer for it. I was lucky to have flow in it a few times.Awesome memory to see so thanks for uploading.

I can hear the theme song! 😆 really looks more modern than new most helicopters! I loved that show! RIP 🙏 J.M.V.

Hi it was my favorite seri I have 45 years now RIP Jean Michael Vincent god bless

Brought back so many memories those were the good times made me feel like a kid once more even at 52 I wish they would make a movie thank you to whoever posted this

This brings back the best memories of my childhood and got me interested in aviation.

Even after all these years the helicopter still looks modern

They should have installed a stereo with high output speakers so they could give Airwolf it's iconic howl and growl. It is my lottery fantasy to build and fly a Airwolf clone and I would spend my summers bouncing around airshows.

I always loved that chopper.

I wish they would do a another series of air wolf , this was my favorite show

back in the 1980s a helicopter was still pretty magical. Human flight was less than 100 years old still.

The Lady will never not be the most amazing and beautiful looking helicopter. They really nailed the look of her.

after all these years… i’ve never seen this footage! thank you!! i was 11yrs old when this show came out! got the full series on dvd! ❤😊

I remember seeing the Airwolf helicopter at a aviation expo in the Los Angeles area it was probably mid 80s. very cool copter!!!

Greenacres shopping center....I was there, 4 years old!!! Still remeber all the Airwolf toys we bought that day. One of my coolest memories.

I LOVE THE 80s MOVIE, MUSIC, TV SHOWS... AIRWOLF, BLUETHUNDER, KITT (KNIGHT RIDER), AUTOMAN, DUKE AND HAZZARD, MAGNUM PI AND MANY MORE ..

There were 2 airwolf helicopters , one was airwolf in black, registration number N3176S, was sold to company in Germany and used as air ambulance and crashed in 1992 destroying. There was redwolf, (airwolf with red nose) registered N1074T, was a Bell 222 aircraft, that was involved in an incident during pwr off run land on April 15, 1987 at 16:30, in Ben Wheeler, TX, was being used by University Of South Alabama. There is a replica,The replica was housed between 2007 and 2015 in the Tennessee Museum of Aviation in Sevierville, Tennessee. It was then sold to a private collector in California, having been further modified at West Coast Customs during September 2015. The replica was then placed on top of a mansion in Bel Air, California. The owner then sold the mansion and replica is now at the Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum, in Compton, CA

I was 7 years old and I remember this day well!!

I still watch it now and again... Just because Airwolf is so Amazing 👊👌❤ Thank you for uploading this gem!

What I wouldn't have done to see this back when I was a kid!

Man i was so hooked to this serie. Amazing aircraft

Man you guys that got to see this beauty are extremely lucky, and this was in the 80's as well , never again will this happen not only here in SA but anywhere around in the world!😍🙌🙌🙌

among my childhood favourite tv shows... airwolf and blue thunder 😁

I have some very specific memories linked to this helicopter and they still make my pulse race after 32 years....you have to love this kind of Movie making even if it is as old as us. Must be why im ayng DCS World sim....lol. love this Bell 222

I remember watching this show as a kid. Loved it! 80s tv rocked!

Wow, awesome video. I remember my Mom and Dad taking us to see it in Kempton Park. My brother, sister and I got signed posters. It's a memory I will never forget. Thank you.

If in fact this video was done in classic 80's 4X3 the re-crop in 16X9 is great. It looks 80's, feels 80's, the sound most certainly is classic 1980's. Yes folks, I do realize this was indeed videotaped or filmed in 1987! Great Video!

저기 모인 일반인들은 촬영용으로 만들어진 실물로 공개되는 에어울프를 눈앞에서 직접 보다니 행운이군요. 🍀 희귀한 영상을 올려주셔서 고맙습니다~^^

Love this!!! One of my all time favorites! So many memories!!! I'm 50 now and I grew with Blue Thunder, Air Wolf and of course the movie FireFox!!!

As a kid I remembered watching this show I loved it and that howl give me goose bumps

It’s basically a Bell 222 helicopter, with a fancy body kit. Absolutely nothing on it is functional LOL. I’m still proud to say. I got to ride in it, when it was in Johannesburg. It cost my aunt an expensive R250, well in 1987 that was a lot of money 😂. I was all of 7 years old. I remember the day like it happened yesterday. To this day one of the best moments of my life.

Love to see that the LADY got the chance to be shown in these events, never saw this kind of footage before, hundreds of people enjoying live in person the magic of Airwolf. Shame that the helicopter couldn't be preserved. A gem of the 80s and one of the most beautiful aircraft designs out there.

Airwolf is one programme I'd love to see a remake of!!

May the Lady fly forever in heaven 🙏

One of the most elegand designs to ever take to the air.

Amazing footage, wouldn’t be allowed to fly like that over crowds these days sadly.

Thank you for sharing. Still gets the heart a pumping when I see her.

Jeepers, thank you so much for posting this. Can't remember what excuse my parents used to explain to 6 year old me why we were standing around a shopping mall parking lot along with a bunch of other people, but I still remember the excitement when 'The Lady' came flying in. Best surprise ever. Though I do remember being slightly disappointed when Jean Michael Vincent emerged without the flight suit. Brilliant memory

For now, simply put: "Goosebumps" oh my dear goodness. This is awesome! Most (if not all) footage of this chopper was in SD 4X3 (1.33:1). This looks amazing in widescreen. Cannot believe how awesome this video is! THANK YOU Mr. Gareth Wilkinson for posting this video!!!!! :-)

I loved that show!!!

What an amazing design. This show got me into flying. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this, as with several others on here I'm now in my 50's and this brings back memories of a Saturday afternoon in front of the TV.

She was beautiful and a beast at the same time. You just wonder how many ideas came from Airwolf with helicopter designers.

Amazing, my fave tv show as child!

my favourite movie series when I was 11 years old..thank you to whom uploading these video..great..

airwolf , knight rider, chips and few cartoons i can never forget !!! Big memories of my childhood.

I got goosebumps from the start watching it turn in for the approach…this helicopter is beautiful, my favorite childhood show. Still waiting on a reboot, as long as the helicopter is exactly the same. Maybe “Hawk” had a long lost son who followed in his fathers footsteps. If you remember season 1 of air wolf, “Daddy’s Gone Hunt’n,” the kid looks like Hawk but never admits that it is.

I remember attending the event in Durban, at the recently opened Checkers / Game centre near Greyville race course. Pierre de Chamois entertained hundreds of onlookers. Looking back at my photo album, ah the memories! Thanks for this!!

Loved Airwolf when I was young, I even remember having the Airwolf Toy Helicopter which had it on a string hanging from my ceiling in my bedroom, and when you turned it on it would go around in circles with gravity, and the blades turning too. Was great to have, not sure where it is now though and I am in my mid-40s. Great days though.

Great video thnx! Still have Airwolf theme on phone as ringtone 😄 So sad some of the actors not among us anymore...

Loved that show when I was a kid!

Priceless treasure show of my childhood

That was my favorite show. Thanks for sharing

I was there when i was 12 years old ,I'm trying to see if i cant see myself in the crowd lol 1987 and its now 2024 ,what a great moment in my life to see such an awesome helicopter........ AIRWOLF ....RIP Jean Michal Vincent.

I f@cking miss my eighties……………. Absolutely everything from this era was BAD ASS AT ULTIMATE LEVEL. Check the cars, check the planes, check the copters, check the music, check everything……… METALLICA………………………….I mean….. I don’t know what I’m doing here in 2022…………..

Ah yes, the Bell 222A executive Helicopter. It was an instant success when Bell released it for sales and was loved by everyone who laid eyes on it. When it was released in 1979 at a whopping 1.1 million dollars if my memory is correct, but it was definitely at least 1 million dollars was an exorbitant price and everyone wanted it because of it's looks. I think it is still one of the most beautiful helicopters to ever take to the skies. It was until the Eurocopter EC155B1 came around in the 2000's that I found another equally beautiful Helicopter.

Modified Bell 222. What an eternal beauty, I've dreamed of that helicopter when I was a kid. The toy model still proudly stands at my dear parents place.

Thank You for bringing back fond memories I was in Potch to see it 👍👌👌

Heartbreaking knowing what happened to this beautiful bell. RIP to the medics that died in her.

In ‘87 I was fifteen. If I had seen this it would have been the same as if the Millennium Falcon had just landed in front of me. Airwolf was the absolute shit at that age.

Such an amazing show and helicopter

It was the most attractive mono perpellar helicopter ever made, also intended to be a luxury/VIP, even had more stretch models patten. Like a flying vtol perpellar version of a limousine. Yet ironic it turned into a top secret military sci-fi movie craft.

That's my childhood right there!!!

How cool would that have been to see that in person! I think I may have used about three rolls of film taking pictures, since it was 1987!

Whoever made the soundtrack of Airwolf sounds so technical cool

Most beautiful helicopter ever!

man... still give you those chills!

She is still the most beautiful helicopter ever flown.

What a memory. Thanks for this.

I am a huge fan of Airwolf and watch every episode as a kid in the 80s. If I would have gotten the chance to sit inside her for even 5 minutes it would be the great time of my life. ❤❤❤

I saw her in van nyes ca back in the 80's at a air show. She did a very impressive air demo

I loved this as a kid 👍

Nearly fifty years old but still one of the most beautiful machines ever made.

I remember as kid the Checkers Airwolf came to Durban as well. What a great marketing strategy it was! Memories forever!!

Thank you Gareth, I attended the event in the Vaal as a kid - The lady was and is still one of the most iconic memories ever!

This was everything for me as a little kid in the 80s.

some things in life age beautifully, this aircraft is such one of those things and does it soo well.

For the first time in my life I actually wanted music with a fly by at an airshow 😅 (airwolf theme)

I remember being in Pietermaritzburg visiting a family member when this chopper flew overhead on it's way to Johannesburg back in 1987. It also had all it's movie props attached at the time.

40 years and this elicopter still looks awesome... timeless shape and design.

The 222 is still one of the coolest looking choppers around, especially in that black & white livery.

Great footage! Thank you for posting. Sadly, seeing Airwolf relegated to a publicity stunt (in this case, for "Checkers") parallels the great Orson Welles diminished in later life to shilling for frozen peas.

Hermosa Aeronave. Que buenas modificaciones idearon para ese Bell 222. Quedó una belleza "The Lady".
