I remember pausing the betamax countlessly as a kid and copying the control panel configurations of the cockpit by drawing them onto paper, marking the colors, then reproducing it up to scale on poster sized cartolina with pen and crayon, to finally pasting them on my room's wall then grabbing a chair and using a badminton racket as a joystick, sit in front of the drawings pretending I'm in the cockpit flying the Airwolf.

Still remember this theme music. Cheesy and so Casio electronic keyboard and so 80's, yet still oddly thrilling and inspiring. And despite the absurd setting and premise and jumpsuits and motorcycle helmets in a helicopter, Jan-Michael Vincent still has moments where he is 100% believable as a hard-bitten, tired, yet deadly serious man.

It definitely showed promise but apparently they had concerns regarding its survivability in the face of current anti-aircraft threats; and as such were looking towards UAVs instead.

I saw this back in the Eighties, love the actors, love the helicopter -- but I also have to add some love for the man behind the music, Sylvester Levay. Born in what is now Serbia, Levay came to Hollywood in 1980 and was the uncredited orchestrator of Giorgio Moroder's music in the movie "Flashdance." I consider his Airwolf music to be his magnum opus and nothing short of inspired. Even when an episode was fairly weak, that music could still get your blood pumping.

Obviously a show like this requires a little suspension of disbelief to truly enjoy it. Rather than trying to explain why Airwolf's rotor blades didn't snap off at Mach 1, might be best to simply ascribe this to Airwolf being a very special helicopter. With all the technology this helicopter was equipped with, it's not that big a stretch to assume that this helicopter also possessed some sort of special rotor mechanism to enabled faster than Mach 1 flight. For those who can't leave well enough alone, what's next? Are you going to explain why we don't have talking Pontiac Trans Ams that drive themselves?

@easyalpha1 10 жыл бұрын

The rotors to survive Mach 1 would have to be stronger than any metal known to modern science with a lubricant than can take super high rpms....(or even a mag lev rotor system to avoid friction altogether.) But if you really think of it...why not just have the blades retract at mach 1 and save all the trouble? But then that would mean more moving parts to depend on working.... maybe just leaving the rotors out was just avoid adding more systems...

@houseofno 10 жыл бұрын

First of all, how do you retract the blades in a super fast amount of time when the vehicle is traveling at subsonic speeds of as much as 350 mph? Despite Airwolf's considerably wind-friendly design, we're still talking about a 4,555 pound aircraft that's going to sink like a stone as soon as those main rotors stop spinning. Optimally, you'd like to engage the thrusters at a relatively high altitude (lower air pressure at higher altitudes makes achieving Mach 1 plus air speeds a lot easier, since the standard measurement for Mach 1 is 767 miles an hour at SEA LEVEL. Again, when those rotors stop spinning, a two-ton-plus aircraft is going to lose altitude very quickly. The opposite problem is how to reengage the rotors and get them spinning again when the plane could be traveling at speeds faster than 350 mph but lower than 767.

I found that G4 TV is running episodes of Airwolf. I was thrilled to find this out. I love the lady and her incredibly sexy pilot Hawk!! I am on the east coast of the US and I get to watch Airwolf from 7pm to 9pm. Yey! Brings back memories of my childhood.

0.58 looks really cool the way your cam caught it. Its a view not really seen before in such lighting, makes it look like a whole new stock clip

I think this is the only time we ever saw them do a full pre-flight check.

Yeah I know it was a TV show but the thing that always got me was how were they doing the heavy maintenance? Sure the CIA could be giving them the parts but still would be more than a one man job to keep a bird like that flying.

@@watcherzero5256 In one of the shows Dom fixed a part of the helicopter using a part from a coffee pot. In another show they smuggled Airwolf into the airport to do some maintenance. It was never really addressed, but Dom had been flying since WW1 and String since Vietnam and both had a large number of contacts of ex and not- ex military people. It would have made for some interesting shows if they had shown more of this, but the general feeling I got was that they were able to get it done.

Fun fact: The insignia on the flight suits for the Airwolf crew was very deliberately chosen to depict a supersonic gunship helicopter that could be easily be mistaken for a civilian vehicle, hence the depiction of a wolf in sheep's clothing that could fly like a bat out of Hell.

I always thought it was just a wolf with wings -> Airwolf. I never noticed the sheep's clothing, thanks. The wings are feathered though, so no bat wings.
