Yes, I'm still infatuated with my favorite crappy '80's adventure show. To the point that I squeed with delight to find Andy Probert's site where he displays some of his original design concepts.

Ah, if only you'd been an eBay Platinum Member.

Eh? Don't tell me he sold some of them! (cries)

Actaully, I think I remember reading on an Airwolf fan site that the original Airwolf bits that were added onto the Bell 222 they modified had been bought at auction by a fan and are in storage. Now all I have to do is win the lottery, buy a used Bell 222 for myself, convince the guy to handover the Used Wolf Bits and bolt him to my copter and I'll be living the dream...

Of course it would help if I knew how to fly a helicopter. Or had a couple of million dollars to blow on this.

Well. Fictional sale.

Damnit, now I'm going to have to start reading Achewood!

"I have Airwolf."

I really don't think the Bell 222 would be air-worthy after the modifications.

I love Airwolf, too, for its opening theme and the helicopter. And the cojones to name a guy "Stringfellow Hawk."

Like Knight Rider, other than the supertechnology in action, it sort of sucked.

Oh, wait, Archangel's "glasses with one half blacked out" were badass. Also good.

Well The Suck didn't really kick in until the second season when they introduced Caitlin and got rid of the International Intrigue angle (and JMV's drinking problem started). [1]

But yes, no matter what, Archangel was cool. Because he was a supersecret administrator of a supersecret spy agency who wore white suit, had a secratary in a white suit, drove a white limo, and had a white helicopter, and he managed to not look silly despite have such a ridiculous shtick.

Whatever happened to Alex Cord anyway?

[1] I don't care who says it, the USA season of Airwolf did not possibly suck as bad as 3rd Season original Airwolf. Because watching JMV mumble his lines in a clear stupor was just sad.
