Created by Donald P. Bellisario, who had already had such hits as 'Magnum p.i.' (1980-1988)
Airwolf was a high-tech attack helicopter of the future. It could outrace conventional jets, travel halfway around the world, and blast away with enormous firepower. When its creator stole it and attempted to sell it to Libya, a supersecret U.S. Government agency known only as "The Firm" recruited reclusive pilot Stringfellow Hawke to get it back. He did, but refused to turn it over until the government tracked down his brother, who was missing in action in Vietnam.
While the government was obligingly hunting up his brother, Hawke agreed to use Airwolf--which he had hidden in the Southwestern desert--on dangerous missions for The Firm. Hawke was not easy to deal with, however. A sullen and uncommunicative type, he could usually be found holed up in his mountain cabin, surrounded by his collection of impressionistic paintings, playing his cello. Women found this handsome loner fascinating, but he disdained them. His contact at The Firm was the suave, mysterious Archangel--identifiable by his white suit, eye patch, and cane. Helping Hawke on missions was his sensible, middle-aged war buddy, Dominic, and sometimes one of The Firm's agents, the beautiful Marella. Added to the cast at the start of the second season was spunky Caitlin O'Shannessy, a lady helicopter pilot who became part of the team.
When new episodes of Airwolf premiered on the USA Cable network in January of 1987, the cast was completely changed. In the story line Dominic was killed and Stringfellow badly injured when one of their regular helicopters, sabotaged by foreign agents, exploded. Dom's niece, Jo; Archangel's replacement, Jason Locke; and a talented but hard- to-control young agent, Mike Rivers, took Airwolf on a mission to rescue Stringfellow's brother, St. John Hawke. After getting back to the states, St. John took over for his injured brother as head of the Airwolf team. They still hid the super copter from "The Company," but were willing to use it on assignments they felt were worthwhile.
That's the end of the ride for today. Please watch your step on exiting the time machine. Now that I've shown you a few, how about you share something from your memory. Or, if one of these were your favorite show then, share a memory of the best episode for you.

Nana was in a cooking mood. This is the first night I've been home at dinnertime in a little over a week, and she went all out.

Very good food.

Gotta fold some towels, back in a shake.

I read Kenneth Roberts's novels about Maine, and since then have always wanted to visit Kennebunkport.

I guess I had better just go. Yes, MY, ALL my muscles are very relaxed right now. Even my fingers. It's getting harder to spell right now! LOL. And I am a bit dizzy from the pill.

Soooooo...good night all. Sweet dreams to you all whenever you hit your pillow, too! ((((hugs))))

First couple of weeks of September. November doesn't usually see us with plans...turkey day will be here with friends or up in Phoenix with family.

It's certainly worth thinking about.
