Me too, and I'm 67 years old!

Amen to that my friend!! And I'm 43 myself!😂 And as cliché as it's gonna sound, I'm gonna say it anyway by saying, "They just don't make shows like this anymore and it obviously shows!!". It's downright criminal what they've done to so many different shows & movies with all the God awful & soulless remakes that've been nothing more than shameless cashgrabs but, I guess what can you expect from hollyweird!!🤦😮‍💨 But I digress. I sincerely hope & pray to God that they NEVER try to "remake" this beloved piece of 80s nostalgia the way that recently, so many others have unfortunately been treated to and utterly destroyed in the process and all in the name of this God awful modern-day woke, racially motivated, and woefully politically biased idealism!! It's truly shameful what has been happening to all our beloved movies, stories, and TV shows in the last decade or so now and I hope and pray that maybe it's finally coming to an end!!🙏🙏🙏

@@thedude41780 All true!!!! When I heard that some of my favorite TV shows were going to be remade in movie form or TV Shows I almost had a stroke!!!!. The Man From Uncle, Wild, Wild West, Kolchak, X-Files, The Saint etc. Couldn't wait. TMFU wasn't too bad if you just realized that it had nothing to do with the series, not even the music score. WWW was close to be the worst movie I've ever seen. The X-Files became left leaning trash. Kolchak became a psychological mystery series (boring). The Saint changed the character completely just like they did in TMFU. If they remade Airwolf today they'd be battling the police to protect BLM and Antifa along with any other terrorist group out there.

@@tomskell9622yep, sadly you're probably 100% right!! Thank God for a sort of an alternative to the leftist Hollywood garbage beginning to emerge and maybe that's a sign that things are beginning to change and revert to more sensibility once again...HOPEFULLY!!🤞😖😂 It's been the same way with superheroes lately too, they've taken and practically ruined damn near all of them, with the exception of a few but, the overall majority have been totally bastardized and transformed fundamentally from what they originally started out as!! It's sad, infuriating, and so shameful that people would do this to things people love simply for money or to make a frivilous name for themselves for the sake of their own 15 secs of fame!!🤦😓😮‍💨 But I could not agree with you more and I desperately miss the old days when life was simpler, much more affordable, legitimately enjoyable, and when people actually interacted with each other on a regular basis, instead of being buried in screens 24/7 & 365 days a year!! I don't think there's anything wrong with wishing to go back to something like that because what we have today leaves us all with little anonymity, any thought of true privacy, personal property, and most importantly, COMMON SENSE to be desired and it's obvious that basically everyone is clearly much less happy or content with their lives than they were back then because today we no longer have ANY time to slow down and enjoy the "little" things in life that bring us all the joy we need to truly be content, healthy, happy, and productive and that's why our society/westernized society is on a rapid decline & circling the drain(if you ask me!)!!! Nice talking with you!! God bless you brother!!

Thumbs up from this 45 year old.!!!!!

51 and same. Brilliant show......

Not much but it was good entertainment

I'm 4 years younger And I agree with you

This, Blue Thunder, Iron Eagle, Top Gun, The Final Countdown. What a time!

I feel you!!! I'm here commenting lol. much love!!!

I always loved the Climax when the drop down mortar would happen.

Yes but it’s all built upon the physically impossible premise of a “fast helicopter”. Aerodynamics just says no not even close.

I showed this to my kids, and it scared them. They left to go play mindcraft. SMH, different times, I guess.

Facts

Or Blue Thunder.

And A-team ,mcguyver ,knight rider,

You are so right when the fight would come the song rang free

I'm with 'ya.!

Me

I am currently at work with literally TEARS IN MY EYES 😂😆

No doubt, I'm down with that.

While we’re there we should also pick up some IBM and Microsoft stock

i was thinking the same, Goosebumps on that scene

Yes

Send Airwolf over to Ukraine with safe guards against enemy capture.

I feel Stringfellow Hawke seldom needs that black visor lol!

Yes I agree. And the HUD targeting square within the visor...TRULY state of the art.

Looks like a shark of the air. Reached the pinnacle of it's evolutionary journey and just stayed there.

I dunno I like Blue Thunder quite a lot too if I’m honest. 🥸😉😅

It's Bell 222/230

Ohhh yes !!!!!

Still looks Modern

Was just thinking how watching this in the 80's I had no appreciation for the photography. And how they always sync the shutters to get pretty rotors.

The camera work was great and the stunt pilots were even better. The low altitude at which they flew was incredible.

It was all the old Vietnam Huey pilots who were used to doing crazy stuff!

I miss practical effects and stunts..

The only "CGI" you had, was the firing rocket launchers. I think in hindsight, it would've been enough to see some smoke coming out of the launcher instead of a orange missile

brianjones7907 Jean Bruce Scott and Deborah Pratt are still alive.

@@lilorbielilorbie2496 Really glad to hear that as i made a big mistake i was given the information by somebody else And failed to double check it ....

@@brianjones7907 Don't sweat it man . We all make mistakes now and then.

Amen to that sir.

Kobe Bryant disagrees.

2:18 That is perfect control, or a very good use of a miniature. I do recall that a lot of the footage we see is sped up (undercranked), but the effect is wonderfull.

There was one episode where the Lady did a slalom course through orange posts on the deck at slow speed, perhaps as part of training or evaluation? The pilot made it look easy.. silky smooth and masterful control of his bird.

@@Looking-great Actually I think he would agree. The maneuver proved too difficult for his pilot.

Its all incredible footage. Beautiful helicopter.

was just about to say that helicopter is around 40 years old and the design is still the best I have ever seen , not many other airplanes , cars or bikes can make that claim

@@travelsouthafrica5048 the noise it made (or the noise they put in the program, still the best howl/whine/ I don’t know what it was, but, like Knight rider, you could hear it without seeing the tv and know EXACTLY what was on.

@@georgehayward7668 It sounds like the howl of a vulcan bomber imho, i would like to know what helicopter airwolf was based on though

I loved the show and totally agree with you, the theme music still gives me the chills 🐺 🚁

@@SuperFarkey Airwolf was a modified Bell 222

My motorcycle helmet has that dark drop down visor, and every time I hit the button for it to engage, I always think of this show. Of course, most times I’m headed to the store or a movie, and not taking on some international baddie.

First season was the best. I'm still unhappy about what they did in later seasons. Was executives meddling yet again, just like they later did with SeaQuest DSV after its first season.

Agreed, it's still a beautiful design after over 40 years old plus the stunt pilot said it flew better with the modifications than it did before the modifications. Unfortunately it was destroyed in an accident in Germany while being used an air ambulance but there is a nonflying exact copy that is owned by a private collector in California that was created using the same molds to make the modifications for the TV show.

No single one ever after looks as sweet as the lady!

@@runawaytrain1979 Agree 💯👍✨

@@runawaytrain1979 u

No it doesn't!

But this is Bell-222 with aliexpress plastic.

Its a classic design, IMHO.

@@EJ205T what u on about?

Anyday the most beautiful ever!

*UH-1Y/UH-1Z has entered the chat*

Unfortunatly these days people are folowing vampire or kinda unending crap.

Same here :)

Blue Thunder didn't really cut it as a rival

This and Knight Rider had the best themes. 80s were great for that.

@@inisus The Equalizer theme demands entry to this party 😁

Alex Cord is also deceased

At least Jean Bruce Scott is still with us.

@@josephwisniewski3673 Although big as a house. She started eating (that melon in the intro) and never stopped.

Agreed. I too want to pay my respects to these two great actors. RIP Ernest Borgnine and Jan-Michael Vincent 😌🙏

Too bad that it was plagued with engine and landing gear issues.

I agree man the design is still super awesome till this day

Too right

One of the best intros also for an action/adventure TV show.

100% synthesized music

Folks in the 80ies were extremely creative.

Ooh you are lucky then.

@@PazuzuStalker Thanks. But as with all formal names I shortened them to Hawk and Wolf. Two lab siblings, the female is Wolf and the male is Hawk.

@@rumilagukhool4023 Quite lucky.

God bless you dear.

@@rumilagukhool4023 And the same to you.

Yes . Same here 🤭

Good choice, I have been trying different 80s/90s themes of late, must getting nostalgic with age LOL 🤣 The V8 full throttle at the beginning of Hardcastle & McCormick is equally awesome 👍

I think TV people ran out of ideas. Airwolf was certainly a world wide success.

@@srajjad and totally beyond any TV channel budget. It's all CGI green screen.

Little bit of Street Hawk, A Team and ... LA Law for the grown ups

The shows of today are crap! They are all about gender, race, politics, etc. None have anything to do with family values, but those that DO...like "Last man standing", get cancelled! Why? Because they are "trying" to impose family values and that's something the networks DON'T want!! So sad....

@@barryallenflash1 agreed.

According to the stunt-pilots, the A56-7W modifications actually made it fly * better * than a stock 222c. Goes to show that the designers knew what they were doing.

im not a heli enthusiast, but i cannot agree more that airwolf looks still looking bad ass in 2021

@@ArcRene Too bad that the real lady from the series crashed somewhere in Germany if I remember right after it was converted to a air ambulance.

@@tj6136 Yes correct.. they modified it just for the TV series.

@@demandred1957 once a wolf will always be a wolf. Cant be an air ambulance

You're very welcome. It was a labour of love and completely unintentional.

It was the same in Japan, including myself.

Like wise here in the states..

I also loved A Team and McGyver :)

@@abalamdepaimon6891 me too.😉👍

I don't know theses shows aired in the U.K.

knight rider series too bro...😁

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear Dad.

Same here bro! I absolutely loved them both too. Great memories

When we remember this.... WE`RE gettin´ old....

I felt this bro...one of many memories growing sitting in living room watching this with my dad. After that I would see a coastguard Hilo And remember this show as well as seeing it with my dad been almost two years since I lost him do to covid

Air wolf rulls😅😅😅😅😅

What is Marvall movies? 🥱

​@@teckyifythe cosplayer version of this show 😁

Blue Thunder ftw

Along with knight Ryder , this was also my favorite show

Born 82, raised by Airwolf. Love this compilation.

100% well said. The AIrwolf and TIE fighter screams were so iconic and effective.

Omg yes! Love that sound!

So many great shows back in the day. I loved Airwolf, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be The A-Team

* Raises Hand! *

Proper mate

Hell yeah! I was in 5th grade and use to take my toy air wolf to school and in recess I would go to the sandbox dig a hole and pretend air wolf was coming out! Memories. Circa 1988, SoCal

Oh hell yeah. Years later. Sometimes i still do.

When I was a kid, I fantasize of having a model looking like Airwolf

Ha thanks. I was torn over whether to use that clip at the end.

Yeah I kinda know what they mean. Although I kinda get the feeling these two, String and Dom ain’t been laid in a while? Maybe String’s still cut up about Archangel’s first dolly bird 🦢 assistant who died at the hands of Moffet , Airwolf’s creator and is the reason String’s such a moody git. 🤣 Her name won’t come to me right now 🥸😒🤬🙄 (thanks again useless brain 🧠) unless it was Gabrielle ? The one he got before Marella. 🥵🥵😍😉😉🤓. Don’t get me wrong 😑. The Bell 33 or whatever it’s called (the helicopter 🚁 Airwolf is based on is a beautiful thing but it’s just a helicopter. It’s like neither of the guys have seen a woman in their lives. I know it’s a while before Caitlin O’Shaugnesy comes along and joins the party but I think they need a hobby or something because fixing planes and aircraft for a living isn’t doing it for them ; hence the aircraft fetish. 🤔🤨😁

"Yeah!"

Stringfellow Hawke, Coolest name ever!

I remember reading somewhere that production was around 1-3 million per episode, and this was in the mid 1980s. Imagine that in today dollars.

@mandellorian Yeah I noticed the difference in season 4. The quality of the show really went downhill and looked similar to those early morning cartoon shows on a cheap budget.

I’m 12 and I love Airwolf and I daydream about it all day

Can’t blame them. Imagine the cost of both fuel and maintenance for the 222, even with the budget they had.

@@TheDogofTin That's why in later seasons you can see the obvious switch for the RC helicopter in a lot of the exterior action flight scenes. Sad, but obvious cut in production money.

Indeed, not forgetting the way the Lady howled..

Sylvester Levay was the composer.

Good catch

I always feel the music syncs perfectly with the spinning blades images of airwolf, like 1:34 - 1:37 and 2:37 - 2:45. I didn't know why, now I know.

And the Comanche too although it Never made it to production that I know of…

Checking back in a year later, yup still get goosebumps every time I hear this theme song!!!

It’s a shame he’s dead

Por que no la dan mas él eleccotero azul

back on those decade, on the Usa did the most greatest tv series, not only Airwolf, but also Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Magnum PI, Automan, Otherworld, Riptide, A-Team, Miami Vice, Visitors, The Robinson, Mac Gyver, Family Ties, The greatest american hero, Manimal, and many, many more. The series which air today, doesn matter if from tv or streaming, are just rubbish.

Popular in South🇰🇷Korea too?

That's the synth beat.. Love that 80's electronica sound!

At 1:30, that part of the theme gives me goose bumps

ME !!!! 100 percent !!!!

Listen to Typhoons doing the Mach Loop in Wales. This may scratch your itch. But you are right. They called it.

@@davelewthwaite That’ll be a double thrill, my mother is from Aberaeron and we used to go for hikes and picnics in the country often enough to encounter jets doing practice runs. I’ll definitely look it up.

That would have been icing on the cake.

It's not that hard.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zs9_e9OUpuDRqWQ.html

Ditto. You beat me to the comment.

There were some very good maneuvers through the series. I am thinking of what happened when the movie star that thought he could fly just by watching String do it.

@@rcschmidt668 I thought it was an RC model but the scaling seems to be full size. So it probably was a real chopper being flown.

@@fallinginthed33p It was the real helicopter. The pilot went to low and damaged the ADF pod in that scene.

Does anyone know what episode that was from?

I see your Airwolf and raise you a Blue Thunder (Movie not the TV show)

Airwolf tries to see blue in the rear view mirror but thunder still does not take off

Yeah, I loved to hear the 'wolf howling in combat and snarling too sometimes! It's very similar to the howl from a Vulcan bomber, another of my favourite aircraft! Search on KZfaq for "Vulcan howl" and you'll see a few examples.
