      Amen to that my friend!!
      And I'm 43 myself!😂
      And as cliché as it's gonna sound, I'm gonna say it anyway by saying, "They just don't make shows like this anymore and it obviously shows!!".
      It's downright criminal what they've done to so many different shows & movies with all the God awful & soulless remakes that've been nothing more than shameless cashgrabs but, I guess what can you expect from hollyweird!!🤦😮‍💨
      But I digress.
      I sincerely hope & pray to God that they NEVER try to "remake" this beloved piece of 80s nostalgia the way that recently, so many others have unfortunately been treated to and utterly destroyed in the process and all in the name of this God awful modern-day woke, racially motivated, and woefully politically biased idealism!!
      It's truly shameful what has been happening to all our beloved movies, stories, and TV shows in the last decade or so now and I hope and pray that maybe it's finally coming to an end!!🙏🙏🙏

      @@thedude41780 All true!!!! When I heard that some of my favorite TV shows were going to be remade in movie form or TV Shows I almost had a stroke!!!!. The Man From Uncle, Wild, Wild West, Kolchak, X-Files, The Saint etc. Couldn't wait. TMFU wasn't too bad if you just realized that it had nothing to do with the series, not even the music score. WWW was close to be the worst movie I've ever seen. The X-Files became left leaning trash. Kolchak became a psychological mystery series (boring).
      The Saint changed the character completely just like they did in TMFU. If they remade Airwolf today they'd be battling the police to protect BLM and Antifa along with any other terrorist group out there.

      @@tomskell9622yep, sadly you're probably 100% right!!
      Thank God for a sort of an alternative to the leftist Hollywood garbage beginning to emerge and maybe that's a sign that things are beginning to change and revert to more sensibility once again...HOPEFULLY!!🤞😖😂
      It's been the same way with superheroes lately too, they've taken and practically ruined damn near all of them, with the exception of a few but, the overall majority have been totally bastardized and transformed fundamentally from what they originally started out as!!
      It's sad, infuriating, and so shameful that people would do this to things people love simply for money or to make a frivilous name for themselves for the sake of their own 15 secs of fame!!🤦😓😮‍💨
      But I could not agree with you more and I desperately miss the old days when life was simpler, much more affordable, legitimately enjoyable, and when people actually interacted with each other on a regular basis, instead of being buried in screens 24/7 & 365 days a year!!
      I don't think there's anything wrong with wishing to go back to something like that because what we have today leaves us all with little anonymity, any thought of true privacy, personal property, and most importantly, COMMON SENSE to be desired and it's obvious that basically everyone is clearly much less happy or content with their lives than they were back then because today we no longer have ANY time to slow down and enjoy the "little" things in life that bring us all the joy we need to truly be content, healthy, happy, and productive and that's why our society/westernized society is on a rapid decline & circling the drain(if you ask me!)!!!
      Nice talking with you!!
      God bless you brother!!

      Agreed, it's still a beautiful design after over 40 years old plus the stunt pilot said it flew better with the modifications than it did before the modifications. Unfortunately it was destroyed in an accident in Germany while being used an air ambulance but there is a nonflying exact copy that is owned by a private collector in California that was created using the same molds to make the modifications for the TV show.

    I saw this bird at a air show in 1989. I stood with the military police and "guarded" this beast. Joined the military to be a helicopter crew chief after that experience. Did 23 years and loved every second of it. Still the best helicopter ever made in my opinion. Hell I named my dogs Hawkeye and Airwolf.
