Airwolf's Saddest Moment

In perhaps the nadir of the already execrable season 4, we have this piece of Fail.

"Death Train" Which features an establishing shot of a train with a commercially available R/C Airwolf model badly chroma keyed in front of it.

What are you talking about? There was no Season 4. Even if that would have had ONE moment of awesome.

Short Version: Airwolf took a hit from an Iraqi missile during Gulf War One and managed to limp home. Mike Rivers was killed, Jo Santini lost her arm, Locke was reassigned and St. John's fate was deliberately left ambiguous. Airwolf was left to rot at the bottom of the Lair, while the national park around it was eventually bought up by Santini Aerospace (restructured by Jo in subsequent decades as a specialized aerotech company, using CAD/CAM equipment to create one off vehicles for both military and civilian uses). Helping her oversee it is D.O.M., an AI based of her late Uncle Dominic (voiced by Ernest Borgnine, health permitting).

Thirty years later String's 1/4 Vietnamese grandson, Abraham, is coming to work for the company after graduating with a degree in aeronautical engineering and a chip on his shoulder as big as his grandfather's. Aunt Jo has a very special project for him to work on...
