Episode list

Dr. Robert Winchester is a brilliant researcher and a former test pilot who helped design Airwolf. Now, he's asking for Hawke's help in test flying a simulator that he's designed to enable the Firm to train future test pilots to fly Airwolf. Reluctantly, Hawke agrees, but determines that the simulator's "feel" is a little off. Archangel convinces Hawke to let Winchester hook up the real Airwolf to his computers in order to get a more realistic demonstration. This allows Winchester to engage in a little friendly flying competition with Hawke but it also allows the Russians to nearly get their hands on the high tech super copter.

Hawke meets a mercenary who claims to have information regarding his missing brother.

Archangel warns String about a zealous government bureaucrat named D.G. Bogard who will stop at nothing until he finds Airwolf. Dom and Hawke take time out from shooting a military training film to hide Airwolf in a different location before it can be discovered, but Bogard catches on to their ruse and tracks Hawke back to the new hideaway. To complicate things, an eager pilot tails Dom and Hawke in an effort to convince Santini that she deserves a job working for his company.

Dr. Charles Moffet develops a new prototype super-helicopter code named "Airwolf" for the FIRM (CIA cover), but at the demonstration for the brass assassinates Senator William Dietz, destroys the control center, and disappears with it to Khadafy's Libya, where he proves French mirages and American destroyers are no match for Airwolf and sadistically enjoys excessive privileges. FIRM head Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, nicknamed 'Archangel', is hell-bent to recover Airwolf, so he and his sexy colleague Gabrielle Ademaur spare no effort to recruit by seduction or by blackmail the brilliant Vietnam vet pilot Stringfellow Hawke, who lives as a recluse with his dog but works as a Hollywood stunt pilot with his business partner Dominic Santini. Having his grandfather's priceless stolen art collection "taken hostage" and losing the movie job, he accepts under one tough condition: Archangel most locate his brother St. John, MIA and presumed killed in action, hoping for a rescue.

The Firm asks String to covertly shuttle a renowned researcher and diplomat, Dr. Roger Burton, to Russia for a secret meeting since Airwolf can get past the Russian defenses without being detected. Unfortunately, before Hawke can go back and recover Dr. Burton, a virus implanted by Airwolf's creator, the late Dr. Moffett, rears its ugly head and threatens not only the destruction of the supercopter but the elimination of the Firm as well unless a computer programmer String knows can undo the damage the evil Dr. Moffett concocted.

Hawke agrees to help his nephew with a missing-person case, which quickly leads to a dangerous drug-smuggling ring.

String and Dom investigate a small town where a friend of theirs has disappeared. What they discover there is a little fiefdom controlled by an unfriendly sheriff named Bogan who doesn't like outsiders in his domain. When String starts poking around for his friend, Bogan arrests him and sets him loose on an 80,000 acre wildlife enclosure just outside the town. There, he becomes the game in a little hunt that just may cost him his life. As if that isn't enough, an attractive highway patrol deputy has also run afoul of the Sheriff and String and Dom must intervene before she becomes fodder for the sheriff's goons.

Dom uses Airwolf to transport a heart to Chicago and responds to a mayday along the way for a downed private plane. The plane belongs to billionaire Carl Barron who was on his way to a board meeting when his plane developed engine difficulties. Barron attempts to bribe Santini into dropping him off first, then the heart. Dom refuses and gives Barron a piece of his mind, instead. Shortly thereafter, Barron is killed in a mysterious explosion at his company and everyone at the funeral is shocked to learn that he altered his will just before he died. Dominic Santini is named as the recipient of a substantial piece of the Barron fortune and several of Barron's employees are not happy about it.

A mole at the Firm has leaked classified information and a senior analyst is suspected after his best friend and colleague dies from a stress related heart attack when the pair learn that their retirement benefits have been denied.

After stunt pilot Vinnie crashes attempting to land on a driving truck, studio boss Philip Maurice and his deputy Simon Sayes hire Santini Air to save the film project. String refuses such a merely commercial job, even as wing-man on the ground, but Dom insists to accept and do the flying to prove if he still can at his age, stating even if it kills him. He even accepts a contract clause to pay for the studio losses if he fails, which he couldn't afford. String asks Archangel to stop Dom by FIRM's government pull, but hearing Maurice is involved, he convinces String to take over as that's an international crime mastermind, who caused the death of an agent Michael cares about, and must plan the stunt as a cover for a major robbery. Racing against time they work out it must be a government gold transport heist and confront the fiends.
