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.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Head high, Proud Mom.....you'll get it. It takes time.

[Lady Jag]

I hope she didn't quit for the evening. She will be comforted when she gets your message. Computers get pretty frustrating at times.

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Luv! I hope you get rain! I need some rain now too. I had too much and now not enough.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm giving up.....the last 2 checks for today won't work. Tomorrow is another day. And everybody else went home. LOL!

Giants Of The Deep

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Job 41:1-11

God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves. —Genesis 1:21

The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived. Some are 100 feet long and can weigh over 175 tons. The biggest one ever measured had a heart the size of a Volkswagen!

In Genesis we are told, “God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind” (1:21).

When the Creator revealed Himself to Job in his time of suffering, He used the giants of the deep, including the mysterious Leviathan, to illustrate His divine power, His unsearchable nature and incomparable character.

“Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of [Leviathan]? No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? . . . Everything under heaven is Mine” (Job 41:9-11).

God uses the whale, the Leviathan, and all the giants of the deep to remind us of how awesome He is as Creator of the universe (Romans 1:20). The One who made creatures that cannot be controlled is Himself beyond our control and understanding.

Just as a frightening thunderstorm makes us stand in awe of the Creator, so should the blue whale. All of God’s creation points to His eternal power. —Dennis Fisher

Great is the Lord, He is holy and just;
By His power we trust in His love.
Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true;
By His mercy He proves He is love.  —Smith

Creation is filled with signs that point to the Creator.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue.

[Radix]

"But you did get 51. Does that count?".

I like 51. Fifty one is a prime number, I think. I gotta go check the prime number profiles now to be sure.

[luvie]

Well, according to the radar it should be raining like crazy right now...but it's not! GRRRR! They lie! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Gucho. How are the Tigers doing?

[Radix]

"Rain? Lawnmower work better than the snow blower?"

Mower works good. Grass grows better.

It seems to me that if ain't raining, I'm out there mowing.

I simply gotta get a condo, or what move to Alaska where the grass don't grow?

[Radix]

"Nope."

Always good news with you ain't it?

[beachn4fun]

Until Tuesday? Lucky!

Well, I have to think about it now. It's much easier to get service during the summer. When the weather cools everyone wants to get their stove and fireplaces serviced.

The sad part is I have to get them to clean it before they can tell me if it is in good enough condition to burn wood this winter!

[luvie]

Good evening, Rus! How is your week going so far...now that it's coming to a close. Has it been warm enough for you up there?

Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God's Word. I think God had a sense of humor when he created some of the creatures...like the Platypus.

[GodBlessUSA]

It will be there soon. :)

I keep getting a pop up. Says MSN Netpassport. User name password. Hmm?

[beachn4fun]

LOL.

I'm glad that prime numbers excite you enough to go look one up!

(p.s. did you see Ma was trying to sweeten the blow with the soda woo hoo?)

[Ciexyz]

Edward Mulhare was very good in the TV show "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". He passed away a few years ago, from what I recall.

[beachn4fun]

Mine?

[luvie]

Oh, GB!!!! I am getting the same thing! I was worried. I closed down and I think it went away. Try that. I don't know where it came from, but I just sent MSN a nasty e-mail telling them to remove it. LOL!

[beachn4fun]

now?
