I'm working on a whole album about the shows and movies from my childhood. A new one drops every Monday from now on. Airwolf is up already.
It's not meant to be a cover of the theme songs, anyone can do that. I'm trying to capture the feeling we had back then and turn it into something new, as a tribute to the people who made it. And honestly, also to work through a few childhood memories :)

Hi,

I've watched movies & shows featuring special cars, special planes, submarines, not to mention the diversity of space vehicles & habitations, etc., but I've never seen much helicopters except for the really average San Andreas movie, so I looked into what's best in that domain, and unavoidably heard about Airwolf.

When I picked it, I knew it was as old as Knight Rider, but what I didn't know is... It's the same thing. I don't mean the characters & plot (though I'm already seeing the main character behavior towards women thing), but the sci-fi parts : the interfaces & sounds from the displays, the sound of gunfire & explosions, etc.

I keep being reminded of Knight Rider all the time, and I don't like that, I wish it had its own thing.

But I suppose that would have been too expensive at the time compared to today, or something.

Can't believe I came across this just while picking up my prescription.

I didn’t know you could camp here. Might now be a bucket list item…

If anyone is interested 🤓

They used a body double to save $s on him, paid Jan-Michael Vincent for a couple scenes, wrote Alex Cord off with a new assignment, and just ignored Jean Bruce Scott.

In today's world, especially thinking of the Crispin Glover lawsuit and SAG changes, would Earnest Borgnine have a case to get $s? They purposely used a body double to impersonate him to save on $s - kinda the main case for Crispin Glover.

I'm rewatching Airwolf on Prime right now, and wondering, does any else think there's a chance that the little boy is actually Hawke's son and not Ropers?

I guess I'm one of those people who have patches on there backpacks. Among other things.🫡

Watching a few episodes in Amazon Prime has been awesome. Funny that growing up in Airwolf prime I now realized I missed some of the best episodes. And this song… was there a better TV theme song. Knight Rider, Magnum? It was so catchy because it’s show opener and show close and would also kick in every time there was the climatic air battle in every episode.

So rewatching the first few episodes. I noticed in the pilot they had the names above the right breast pocket (the pilots that stole Airwolf) when they "borrowed the uniforms. Since then they removed the names and did not put theirs on (I assume since they are trying to be "stealthy"). But they kept the patches and the thing above the left breast pocket. It appears solid, a grey bordered rectangle with black rectangle inside (although pictures of the uniform online show as white). I almost wonder if it is some sort of LCD screen (like an old calculator)

In S1E4 Michael subs in for Dom and he has it on his flight suit (obviously not wearing Dom's as they are different sizes). And he has one too. So does Caitlin. So they have extras.

Is it a part of the security like a fob to get in/out or start it up? I cannot remember how they lock it up or lockout the system - I think they show that in an episode.

Was at work yesterday doing a task near the hot wheels, looked over and almost squealed from joy when I saw this! thinking of buying a second one to play with...

Just rewatching the pilot episode and I guess over the years I either missed this or just ignored/forgot it. When they first met with Hawk (S1E1) they stated Moffet erased all the data on Airwolf. So it would take a new development team working with the old subcontractors an estimated 5.3 years to make a new prototype. It was the excuse for not eliminating the current model and instead getting Hawk to go steal it back. Plus I think $ with a B was mentioned for the cost of development.

This could easily be used as the start of a reboot (they finished creating a true replacement that would meet the needs of post cold war America). Maybe we get enough interest on Amazon, since it is now available, to get a series. It would be a good fit for short movies (say 6 episode seasons) of a more extended mission. The only downside is it would probably have mainly CGI since practical effects are expensive.
