    Man its been a minute.....but i used to fly for a company in VNY and the Chief Pilot was one of the helicopter pilots on the show. He had his helmet in a case in the corner of his office. This was circa 1995. Cool that people are keeping these memories alive.

    Hello everyone, I am Steven W Stull and it was nice of William to post this video. I see Mark Cairnes chimed in from Airwolf Themes. Mark has a history with Airwolf and has been to our Lake house where I built Airwolf. Mark has the original JMV Flight suit from the show, And the original boots. I own the original Airwolf helmet from the show and it is documented and it is not nice. Over 30 years and being banged around has taken it's toll. The originals had a huge metal box that the stage hands controlled the helmet. The screen used ones are not self contained as mine are. The screen used ones were operated by air pressure and needed off site air compressor. They had no interior at all. Stage hands stuffed foam around the actors heads. They did not like this. The pilot helmet that Davie Jones wore when flying Airwolf had a simple cheap "hard hat" plastic insert in the helmet. Mine are 2nd season helmets as first shown in Sweet Britches. My screen used helmet is beat and cracked and no interior. I created a drop in ridged fiberglass interior conformed like a race car seat. These can be worn and comfortable now without changing the outside original look. Anyway, The author of this video "William" Did a great presentation and the BIG Airwolf people are watching. I recently sold the ADF pod to a collector and the chain guns and side panels and front radar nose treatment are still owned by Clark. I greatly depended on Clark to help me recreate Airwolf.

      It was indeed a beautiful helmet, fully functional. Unfortunately I sent the helmet back to Steven and he was supposed to resize the collar to fit over my head. Steven ended up ghosting me, I never got the helmet back and had to file a dispute with PayPal to get my money back. If I had known he was going to do that I would have just kept it for display. Unfortunately there are a number or Redit and RPF threads complaining that he also ghosted them after they sent money for a helmet they never received.

  • @AirwolfThemes

    A few small Corrections to your video.... Steve did not work on the original series. The first mould for the Replica Helmet originally came off Ernie Borgnine's helmet. Steve fashioned the custom inner shell, which is far more comfortable than Ernie's helmet which is a pig to wear as they had no inner shell and were uncomfortable. Jan & Ernie hated wearing them. Steve hated wearing it. I hated wearing it. Steve's Replica Airwolf Helmets are uber-fantastic quality. The inner number plate is a lovely recent update feature. Enjoy the helmet. You'll have it forever.

      I always find it interesting hearing the "behind the scenes" information about the show. It's something that the folks who worked on the show as cast or crew knew years back and fans of the show are just now finding out. Thanks for sharing. Airwolf is one of the best action shows from the 80's.

Being a Replica K2000 vendor iv always had thoughts of purchasing one of these items myself from Steven as I really do recognise the skills and craftsmanship shown in the end product.

    I grew up watching Air Wolf, Knight Rider, A Team, and The Dukes of Hazzard between those there were no other TV shows. I rode Harleys for a lot of years and even though I never wore a helmet, I have to say I would wear that one for sure. I know it's a collector's item but damned if I didn't actually wear it in the highway.

    As a kid i was obsessed with airwolf. I remember thinking how come they rarely have the visor down, its so cool. It never occurred to me jean michael vincent was, at the time, the highest paid actor and they might as well get their money’s worth and show his face.

    @patricksacco5745 2 роки тому +2

    Thank you for sharing. Now for a friendly advice: 1. It is preferable that you use 12 AA batteries instead of 3 9V batteries because the servo will operate very fast with the 9V batteries and the visor might hit hard the surface of the AIRWOLF helmet and damage the paintwork. Surely you don't want that! 2. NEVER and I repeat NEVER clean the visor or any part of the helmet with alcohol wipes as they will damage the lacquer/clear varnish protection!!! Use only a damp cloth. I have one too and I know the feeling. Greetings from Malta.

    I am surprised, though pleased this video showed up in my feed today. The piece is gorgeous and I felt like a kid on a candy store watching you open it. I do not recall seeing this particular shade of grey on the show, but still it looks unique and i actually like it better than what appeared to be black in the episodes. Is this the phantom grey I've heard referenced to the helicopter paint color? Thanks for sharing.
