This briefing is from file A56-7W. Classified Top Secret. Subject is Airwolf-a mach one plus attack helicopter with the most advanced weapons system in the air today. It's been hidden somewhere in the western United States by it's test pilot Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent). Hawke has promised to return Airwolf only if we can find his brother St John, an MIA in Vietnam. We suspect that Archangel, Deputy Director of the agency, that built Airwolf is secretly helping Hawke in return for Hawke's flying Airwolf on missions of national concern. Stringfellow Hawke is 34, a brilliant combat pilot and a recluse since his brother's disappearance. His only friend is Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine), whose air service is the cover for their government work. With Hawke and Santini flying as a team, at speeds rivalling the fastest jets, matched by unmatched firepower, Airwolf is too dangerous to be left in unenlightened hands. Finding it is your first priority. (Fabulous Films)

As a kid, I looked forward to every episode like a smile from my crush. Great theme song and the BEST helicopter of it's time, it had nitro back in '84.

A legend that is just as silly and naive as the 1980s, with a lot of gimmicks and no self-preservation. But for a little boy who was a fan of aviation, a few episodes are definitely exciting. It works similarly to, for example, Knight Rider with cars. Fascination with something that doesn't actually exist and we still wish so much it did.
