Aboard Airwolf a high-tech battle helicopter, loaded with cutting-edge surveillance equipment and unbelievable firepower. Airwolf takes Hawke and his friend Dominic around the globe on adventures to find dangerous international spies and criminals.
The series is an action packed featuring the acting talents of series regulars, Jan-Michael Vincent, Ernest Borgnine, Alex Cord, Jean Bruce Scott and Barry Van Dyke. The first season was dark and edgy, but before the second season debuted CBS decided to go with a little more light-hearted family tone. After three seasons, CBS cancelled the series and USA network picked it up for one more season with an new cast and new adventures. With the changes from Season 1 to 2 and than to 3 it caused the series to suffer!
Some of the amazing guest stars Airwolf can boast of include; David Carradine (Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2), Bryan Cranston (TV’s Breaking Bad), Dick Van Dyke (Mary Poppins), John Ireland (Spartacus), David Graf (Police Academy movies), Martin Milner (TV’s Adam-12), Arte Johnson (TV’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In), Richard Lynch (Halloween), Larry Linville (TV’s M.A.S.H.), James Hong (Blade Runner), Ken Curtis (TV’s Gunsmoke) and June Allyson (Till the Clouds Roll By) just to name a few.
