As part of a deal with an intelligence agency to look for his missing brother, a renegade pilot goes on missions with an advanced battle helicopter.
Airwolf is the most sophisticated helicopter imaginable (flies halfway round the world, outruns jet planes). Stringfellow Hawke is its pilot, essentially blackmailing a secret US agency into finding his brother (lost in Vietnam) while he flies dangerous assignments for "The Firm."
There were a LOT of shows that reused footage. It was inexpensive to do so. Airwolf used some post production animation for some shots as well (the orange highlighted missiles for example. Airwolf was border line Sci-fi in the sense that, a rotary wing aircraft, in theory could NEVER achieve mach 1 or anywhere near it as it would shear off the rotor. According to the pilot ep (sometimes referred to as "Airwolf: the Movie", they figured out how to disengage the rotor to create less drag which would prevent that. There was even an episode where Airwolf sort of crashed. But they were able to fix it enough so it could fly, but not under the turbo power that allowed them to break the speed of sound. String even ordered up the 'turbos' but Dom admonished him, "NO String. The disengage isn't working." Technically, Airwolf shouldn't' have been able to fly or shoot missiles or chain guns or really ANYTHING that it could supposedly do. But the acknowledged some of it and it's Sci-fi (sort of) AND it's TV. Just roll with it.
I really looked forward to this program for two reasons; I really liked Jan Michael Vincent and I am an aviation nut and have a serious love affair with helicopters. I don&#39;t like this program because it takes fantasy to an unbelievable level. The world speed record for helicopters was set at 249 mph by a Westland Lynx several years ago. The only chopper that was ever faster was the experimental Lockheed AH56A in the 1960&#39;s. It hit over 300 and was a compound helicopter, which means it had a pusher propeller at the end of its fuselage providing thrust.<br/><br/>In short, no helicopter can fly much over 275 because of the principle of rotary wing flight. And the Bell 222, the &quot;actor&quot; that portrayed Airwolf wasn&#39;t very fast even by helicopter standards. And it didn&#39;t stay in production very long.<br/><br/>There was a movie that came out during this time period called &quot;Blue Thunder&quot; that was much more realistic.

According to the patches on their uniforms both Stringfellow and St. John Hawke served in the Air Cavalry during the Vietnam War.-It is stated that Stringfellow and St. John Hawke needed a special waiver and permission from their commanding officer, Colonel Vidor, in order to serve in the same unit in Vietnam. This is because of a genuine military regulation dating from the Second World War forbidding family members serving in the same unit in case it affects their tactical judgement and sparing their family the possibility that they could both be killed in the same battle. In Hawke and St. John&#39;s case an exception may have been made as they were the only members of their family left.-Dominic Santini served in both World War 2 and the Korean War. According to his stories in World War 2 he flew P47 Thunderbolt fighters in the European theatre and also ferried bombers from the US to North Africa via South America. It was during this time he met and befriended Hawke and St. John&#39;s father and helped raise both of his sons after they were orphaned.
