Air Wolf

1/22/1984 – 8/7/1987 CBS & USA Cable Network

Color - 60 minutes

80 episodes

Air Wolf Cast

Jan-Michael Vincent as Stringfellow Hawke

Ernest Borgnine as Dominic Santini

Alex Cord as Michael Archangel

Deborah Pratt as Marella

Jean Bruce Scott as Caitlin O'Shannessy

Barry Van Dyke as St. John Hawke

Anthony Sherwood as Jason Locke

Geraint Wyn Davies as Major Mike Rivers

Michele Scarabelli as Jo Santini

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.

Good morning and Good night, Ma. Good morning, everybody. Good morning to our AWESOME military, alllies and their families. Thank you all for all that you do.

I'm back! Today is my day off so I don't plan on exerting myself too much. I might be able to raise my hand to wave or blow a kiss, but otherwise after a few chores and after the service person leaves, I will be napping.

I needed to check in this morning to see how everyone is doing. We had a storm moving through sometime last night and must have done some damage. I've been trying to find out how much. The only thing I've gotten so far is that traffic is a mess cause of power outages and downed trees. I don't see anything major around our house. Power did go off apparently briefly. Enough to make me have to reset clocks! Grrrr.....

This place has lost power more in the few months we've been here than our other house (which was further away from town) did in the 13 years we were there. Go figure!

Ok, today is Friday. Time to have fun.

So, let's try a joke
