And because Mace wasn’t near as good a pilot as Hawk. The choppers were equally matched but the difference between them was the man in the cockpit.

You are very very right

If String had been focused...it would of been no match!!

Rest In Peace Charles Cyphers💔💔😢😢

I like how you can tell just with Vincent's eyes he has accepted what he has to do.

It wasn’t necessarily their fault. Seasons 1 & 2 had excellent writing/ direction, but by season 3, our hero (Jan Michael Vincent) had descended into a depth of drug and alcoholism that he could seldom be relied on to deliver his lines. You add that into a weekly show that required its own aerial unit each episode...

@@mattmenefee3889 not to mention that the scripts for season 3 were not that good, plus the departure of Deborah Pratt and her then husband Donald Bellasario's departure didnt help matters.

"Season 4|" was just a cheap Canadian rip-off production. I don't even count it as canon.

Airwolf was sold to a different production company and did not have the budget as the 1st 3 seasons

They've been repeating this on Legend channel in the UK. I'm old enough to recall watching the pilot in 1983!! and JMV as The Worlds Greatest Athlete in '73. Airwolf S1 was OK, S2 introduced Caitlin, focused on more human stories (there was a crash & it looks like they curtailed the air stunts). But by S3 it was becoming formulaic, the Lady would only appear in the final 10 minutes and I've lost count of how many times that little bubble-chopper with massive guns gets blown out of the sky each week. It was obvious the money was running out, choppers are hugely expensive to fly and all the filming helicopters. S4 was an awful reboot, poor Santini blown up (Borgnine was brilliant, he gave the show brevity in contrast to JMV broody String), and what about String finally meeting his long lost brother?. After 3 seasons of searching, String leaves....You'd think he would like to hang around with St John???. S4 physically looks bad too, was it shot on 16mm?. S1-S3 probably 35mm Panavision.

Didn't the HX1 (like many of the combat aircraft in this franchise) show up for an encore with a different baddie behind the controls?

@@rlouie05 yes and no doubt due to budget purposes.

I especially liked the one with the busted tail rotor... 🤣

Why don't you came tomorrow Facebook one direction you're welcome

Apart from Redwolf

daniel White you have a point with Red Wolf but Jenkins didn't get as close as Mace did to destroying Airwolf

ps36081 you right about that

ps36081 know one has ever come close as mace did

A Squadron of B-52's and moffets ghosts was the Air wolf equivalent. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erdde6t-r8Cnhqs.html 3:42

same that and the gaslighting of archangel by the soviets

Once those guns deploy you know its over with lol

Mace was trash, Hawke and The Lady could have blown him out the sky before he even knew they were there.

Daniel Marinucci That was in the episode "Once A Hero".

@@Airwolf10002 yep. I spoke too soon I always thought my hearing/eyesight would go 1st.

WfnTV has that clip on here, I believe. I think the title has the words Strike Team in it or something similar.

i know string fellow hawk says sinjin// but according to wikipedia the name was saint john// i'm not sure who to believe.

@@stanleymaestas5441 Sinjin is to Saint John like Jim is to James and Bob is to Robert.

According to the first episode of season 4, The firm knew where sinjin was. They got him out, then he went back undercover. They probably told him about string and airwolf. The only question I have is Why didn't they trade? String gets his brother back and he gives them airwolf.

@@danielmarinucci7708 maybe because String was the best pilot of Airwolf and had returned almost always with a successful mission completed. They wanted to keep on using String, Dom and Caitlin because of their effectiveness in the field with Airwolf.

Michelle song comment key

Devin Drew No, Hawke began flying jets *after* the war. It was never explained how or why.

Hawke was one of the original pilots during the testing of Airwolf with Moffet if I recall correctly.

Sad part is, when String finally saw St. John after nearly 10-15 years of wondering if he was still alive, all he could say is "Please don't let me die". RIP String/Jan-Michael Vincent!

triple_12 No, he didn’t - get it right. He said: “I’m gonna die! I don’t wanna die in this place!”.

Sultuxes They’re fucking awesome! They give it a heavily-armed payload, not to mention a deadly “don’t fuck with me” look, with the missile ordnance on full-display.

Saint John is dead

It was mace. That's why the others didn't kill him.

is it saint john or sinjin ?

according to google sinjin and saint john are the same name just phonetical difference

They mirrored/flipped the scene. They do they a lot in film for various reasons.

@@DJ_Force thought he switched seats to get a better view ;)

Well Moffitt blew a French Air Force Mirage out of the skies over Chad. Then he sunk a US Navy Destroyer before Hawk captured it. Best thing about Airwolf was that with the chain guns and missile pod retracted it looks just like an Executive chopper. Very stealthy.

@@TSi99999 love this show wish they would remake it

Hawk was playing with mace he could beat him.and use only one shot and destroy hx1

I don't remember how the story went. To guess, I think Mace sold out Sinjin to escape. At that point he might have already lost his sanity, but he was undoubtedly off the rails years later. All that was left was a killing machine fueled by hate and anger. Whatever he was was long buried over the years by corpses and ashes piled up by his mercenary Malevolence.

Mace used Hawke as a prop to sell the HX1 and he had bad blood against String because he blamed him for leaving him and Sinjin behind even though the ropes on his chopper were full.

The 4th season doesn't count. Once the series left CBS it became a separate series and it was total garbage.

@@iBOT-R3 First rule about Airwolf.....we don't talk about season 4. 😂

HX1

HX-1, indeed. Greetings from Brazil, too.

The Firm created HX-1
