Airwolf Season 1

Created by
Donald Bellisario (JAG, MAGNUM P.I.), AIRWOLF was among
the many action-adventure shows of the 1980s that garnered
a cult following. Jan-Michael Vincent stars as the
improbably named Stringfellow Hawke, a Vietnam veteran
still troubled by the disappearance of his brother during
the war. Secret government agent "Archangel"
(Alex Cord) approaches Hawke with a unique offer: to help
him recover and then become the de facto pilot of the
powerful, top-secret helicopter known as Airwolf. With
that proposal the series begins chronicling Hawke's
adventures, along with his sidekick Dominic (Ernest
Borgnine) as pilot of the advanced aircraft. SEASON ONE
contains all 12 episodes from the first season. Many fans
of the show pinpoint this season as the show's finest, as
its dramatic tone and plots of intrigue contrast with
later seasons which reached for broader, more
family-friendly appeal. |
