Stringfellow Hawke is een einzelgänger en woont hoog in de bergen, slechts vergezeld door zijn Bluetick Coonhound "Tet". Hij leeft teruggetrokken en slijt zijn dagen met het genieten van zijn verzameling dure schilderijen en het bespelen van zijn Stradivarius cello. Zijn enige echte vriend en mentor is de oude en altijd vrolijke Dominic Santini. Voorheen was Hawke testpiloot van Airwolf, een geavanceerde supersonische helikopter met stealth-eigenschappen en een uitgebreid arsenaal. Hawke wordt opgeroepen door een man met de codenaam "Archangel" met de missie om Airwolf terug te stelen van haar doorgedraaide maker, doctor Charles Henry Moffett, die haar heeft meegenomen naar Libië.

Airwolf Ratings & Reviews
- flavo4320 uur geledenAirwolf delivered exactly what ’80s action television promised: high‑octane adventure, memorable characters, and a sleek, unforgettable helicopter at the centre of it all. Where Blue Thunder struggled to find its footing, Airwolf thrived by embracing a wider range of storylines and exotic locations, often involving covert missions for the CIA or desperate pleas for help from those with nowhere else to turn. The original core cast—Jan‑Michael Vincent, Ernest Borgnine, and Alex Cord—anchored the show with strong chemistry and distinct personalities. Their dynamic gave the series heart beneath the hardware, making each mission feel personal rather than just another action set piece. Though later seasons introduced casting changes and tonal shifts, the show always tried to preserve the spirit of its early years. At its best, Airwolf was exciting, stylish, and boldly imaginative, a standout entry in the era of high‑concept action TV.
- Richard26 oktober 2025Saw it on TV in the ’80s and it felt like Top Gun met Cold War espionage, with a helicopter that could outfly your imagination. Stringfellow Hawke, a brooding ex-CIA pilot with a tragic past, flies the Airwolf, a sleek, heavily armed, supersonic helicopter built for covert missions. With Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine) by his side and “The Firm” pulling the strings, Hawke takes on intelligence ops while secretly searching for his missing brother, St. John. The tone? Gritty, moody and unmistakably ’80s. The synth heavy score, slow-motion takeoffs and aerial combat sequences made every episode feel like a mini action movie. Jan-Michael Vincent played it cool and haunted, while Borgnine brought warmth and old school charm. Watching it again feels like flipping through your childhood’s action packed scrapbook. The helicopter was the star, but the emotional undercurrent, grief, loyalty, justice, gave it staying power. And yes, that theme song still slaps.
