Synopsis

The series's protagonist is Stringfellow Hawke (played by Jan-Michael Vincent), a loner who lives in a cabin in the mountains, only accompanied by his Bluetick Coonhound Tet, and the surrounding wildlife. Hawke is a recluse, spending most of his time alone with his priceless collection of paintings, and serenading eagles with his equally priceless Stradivarius cello. His only real friend and mentor is the older, eternally cheerful Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine). Stringfellow Hawke with Airwolf. ...

Earlier, Hawke was a testpilot for Airwolf, an advanced supersonic helicopter with stealth capabilities and a formidable arsenal. Hawke is called upon by a man codenamed Archangel–the leader of “the Firm” that built Airwolf–to steal Airwolf back from her twisted creator, Dr. Charles Henry Moffet, who had taken her to Libya. The evil Dr. Moffett, in all his Lo-res glory. ...


Hawke, with Santini, finds the aircraft, but does not return it. Instead, they hide it in an extinct volcano (the Lair) in Monument Valley and occasionally fly it to carry out undercover missions for Uncle Sam, in exchange for assistance from the Firm in locating Hawke’s lost brother, St. John Hawke, missing in action since the Vietnam War.

The series also stars Jean Bruce Scott as Caitlin O'Shannessy, who is introduced in the second season, a feisty Texas Highway Patrol helicopter pilot who joins Santini Air, and eventually comes to serve as a backup pilot for Airwolf. Jean Bruce Scott born February 25, 1956 in Monterey, California is an American television actress, best known for her role as Caitlin O’Shaunessy on television series Airwolf. ...


The Firm

The mysterious organization known as “the Firm” (the “F.I.R.M.” in season three), is a covert branch of the Central Intelligence Agency, led by Michael Coldsmith Briggs III (Deputy Director of CIA; code-name: Archangel). “CIA” redirects here. ...


In the first two seasons, Archangel is often assisted by Marella (Deborah Pratt). She had doctorates in Aeronautical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Psychology, Microbiology, and French Literature. She was one year away from completing her Medical Doctorate as of the episode “Fallen Angel”. Deborah M. Pratt (born in Chicago, Illinois) is an American actress, writer and television producer. ...

Doctor of Medicine (M.D. or MD, from the Latin Medicinae Doctor meaning Teacher of Medicine,) is an academic degree for medical doctors. ...


The series was dark, arc-driven, and quite reflective of the contemporary Cold War, with the Firm personnel distinctly dressed in white and boasting that “wearing white hats” distinguished them as good instead of evil to the unconvinced Hawke and Santini. Early episodes detail the efforts of United States government to secure Airwolf from Hawke. For other uses, see Cold War (disambiguation). ... This article describes the government of the United States. ...


The Firm, during the first and second seasons, served as both ally and enemy for Hawke and Santini; when an opportunity to seize Airwolf presented itself, Firm operatives often took it.


Production history

The series ran for 55 episodes on CBS in the United States in 1984 through 1986, and an additional 24 episodes, with a new cast and production company, aired on the USA Network in 1987, for a total of 79 episodes. The first episode was a two-hour TV movie that was re-edited and released as a standalone direct-to-video film, marketed as 'Airwolf: The Movie'. The show was broadcast in several international markets. This article is about the broadcast network. ... This is a list of television-related events in 1984. ...

Magnum P.I. connection

Creator Donald P. Bellisario first toyed with the idea of the adventures of an ace combat pilot in a third season episode of Magnum P.I. entitled "Two Birds of a Feather" (1983), starring William Lucking, which itself was inspired [citation needed] by several episodes of Bellisario's Tales of the Gold Monkey - "Legends Are Forever" and "Honor Thy Brother" (1982), in which Lucking had played a similar character. The Magnum episode acted as the pilot for the would-be series, but the series wasn't commissioned. Bellisario heavily reworked the idea, and the final result was Airwolf. Magnum, P.I. was an American television show that followed the adventures of Thomas Magnum (played by Tom Selleck), a private investigator living in Hawaii. ... William Lucking (June 17, 1941– ), also known as Bill Lucking, is an American film, television, and stage actor. ... Tales of the Gold Monkey was a 1982 television show broadcast by ABC. The networks attempt to capitalize on the fame of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark the previous year featured an ex-Flying Tigers Indiana Jones-like operator of an air cargo delivery service named Jake...


Seasons 2 and 3

Frustrated by studio preferences, producer Bellisario left the series after Season 2. The studio wanted to add a female character—which eventually happened at the start of the second season in the form of feisty Caitlin O'Shannessy (Jean Bruce Scott) — and for the series to move away from its quite dark and moody tales of international espionage into a more straight action-oriented, and more "family friendly" affair. Airwolf became more streamlined and self-contained. The moves by CBS proved unsuccessful, however, and the series was cancelled after ratings dipped and production cost over-runs grew. But the USA cable network funded new fourth season episodes produced via Atlantis and The Arthur Company owned by Arthur L. Annecharico, allowing the show to have enough episodes for syndication runs. Jean Bruce Scott born February 25, 1956 in Monterey, California is an American television actress, best known for her role as Caitlin O’Shaunessy on television series Airwolf. ... When TV viewers or entertainment professionals in the United States mention ratings they are often referring to Nielsen Ratings, a system developed by Nielsen Media Research to determine the audience size and composition of television programming. ... There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ... In broadcasting, syndication is the sale of the right to broadcast radio shows and television shows to multiple stations, without going through a broadcast network. ...


Season 4

The original cast was completely written out of the fourth season (1987); only Jan-Michael Vincent appears, and even then only for a few minutes in the first episode. Dominic, only seen from the back, and in the form of a double, was killed off in an explosion; Archangel was said to have suddenly been assigned overseas; and no mention was made of Caitlin. Saint John Hawke, now played by Barry Van Dyke, was suddenly revealed to be alive and well (there were already contradicting facts about his fate in the original three seasons, and this new version confused things even more). St. John was rescued and subsequently replaced Stringfellow Hawke as the central character. Production moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with a smaller budget of $300,000 an episode, less than one-third of the original CBS budget. The production crew no longer had access to the original Airwolf helicopter, and all in-flight shots were recycled from earlier seasons; the original full-size studio mockup was re-dressed and used for all interior shots. This new "Canadian" version of the series is held in very low opinion by many fans generally. [citation needed] This is a list of television-related events in 1987. ... Barry Van Dyke as St. ...

Syndication

Airwolf is rarely shown on TV channels today, although a syndication package does exist and occasionally appears as re-runs. In December 2006 and May 2007, the series was given "marathons" on the Sci Fi Channel, to promote the DVD releases of Seasons 2 and 3, respectively. In the television industry (as in radio), syndication is the sale of the right to broadcast programs to multiple stations, without going through a broadcast network. ... SCI FI (originally The Sci-Fi Channel, sometimes rendered SCI FI Channel when part of a longer phrase) is an American cable television channel, launched on September 24, 1992, specializing in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and paranormal programming. ...


The Airwolf helicopter

Main article: Airwolf (helicopter)

The flying Airwolf helicopter was actually a Bell 222 (sometimes unofficially called a Bell 222A, serial number 47085). The helicopter was eventually sold after the show ended and became an ambulance helicopter in Germany. A Bell 222 Airwolf is the title character from a 1980s American television series. ... A Bell 222 Bell 222U The Bell 222 is a helicopter built by Bell Helicopter Textron. ...


The concept behind Airwolf was a supersonic and armed helicopter that could blend in by appearing to be civilian and non-military in origin - a "wolf in sheep's clothing." Airwolf's insignia patch (also designed by Probert) as worn by the flight-crew was a snarling wolf's head with gossamer wings that appears to be wearing a sheepskin complete with the head of lamb over the wolf's forehead; a play off "a wolf in sheep's clothing".

Notes

  • The CD soundtrack for the show, Airwolf Themes: 2CD Special Limited Edition (GERCD3), is a collectors’ item selling for up to $981—a world record—on eBay, making it the “World's Most Expensive Television Soundtrack”. Produced by Mark J.Cairns and original composer Sylvester Levay. Only 1,000 copies were made. Re-release on Apple iTunes October 2007. A sequel Airwolf Themes soundtrack will be released sometime in 2008 with a new arranger, Jan Michal Szulew.
  • Dale Wayne Eaton signed a short letter "Stringfellow Hawke" and left it on the grave of the young woman he had murdered in the notorious Lil Miss case.[1]
  • In 1987, a Japanese CD was made, featuring both "Airwolf" and "Knight Rider" themes (エアウルフ/ナイトライダー) with full orchestration arranged by Kenji Kawai. This CD is also very rare and hard to find (K30X-7096).
  • During filming of the series, a helicopter crashed during a manoeuvre in Pico Canyon, in California. Reid Rondell, Jan Michael Vincent's stunt double, was killed, and a special credit appeared at the end of that episode (Natural Born), dedicating the installment to him.
  • In the United Kingdom in the mid 1980s, an Airwolf comic strip appeared for several years as part of the children's television magazine and comic Look-In, to tie in with the British run of the series.
  • The sound effect of Airwolf's turbos igniting is made up of several sound elements, including a pane of glass shattering. This shattering effect is a stock sound effect, and can be heard in various Universal-produced series, including several episodes of Magnum P.I. and Airwolf itself.
  • The push-button turbos effect was Donald P. Bellisario's homage to the Colonial Vipers in Battlestar Galactica, on which he also worked.
  • In the first two seasons, The Firm was spelled as a regular word. In the third season, it was written in capitals, indicating that it stood for something. No clue as to what it actually stood for (if anything) was ever given, but many fans have come up with their own various suggestions. During the fourth season, the Firm was renamed altogether as "the Company" (a nickname that the CIA is known by). Also with the change of name to the Company, the famous all-white suits and equipment were gone.
  • Creator Donald P. Bellisario and Deborah Pratt (Archangel's assistant Marella) met and fell in love through working on the series, and eventually got married. When Bellisario left the series at the start of the third season, unhappy with (what he saw as) the unwanted direction he was being forced to take the series, he took Pratt with him. (To fill her place, in the third season Archangel had a number of "white lady" assistants.) As well as making a number of guest star appearances, Deborah Pratt went on to write episodes for some of Bellisario's other hits, including Magnum, p.i. and Quantum Leap. Many of her penned episodes are considered as fan favorites of the particular shows. [citation needed] Bellisario and Pratt divorced in the 1990s.
