Love this scene. Reminds me of Top Gun when Maverick disengages and then re-engages. Jan Michael Vincent's minimalist acting ... one simple move of his eyes and you know the HX-1 is going down.
The only reason why the HX-1 almost beat Airwolf was because String held back. The other pilot knew where his missing brother was and he used that against String. Psychological warfare at its finest.
Jan might have been one of the best actors to ever exist. What a sad ending to his career. The tone in his voice while pleading with Mace felt so real. Like you could feel the emotion in being desperate to find his brother. R.I.P. to that legend.
Jan Michael Vincent... what amazing acting here! The tears coming there at the end. Airwolf was always at its best when the personal issues and emotions made the amazing air action secondary to the plot. Bravo!
it was such a shame how they ended the original casting, the backstory of Hawke was brilliant, and the episodes connecting viewers further into his brother, like this one was allways one of the best in the show! How they ended the story with the original cast was just sad...........
It wasn’t necessarily their fault. Seasons 1 & 2 had excellent writing/ direction, but by season 3, our hero (Jan Michael Vincent) had descended into a depth of drug and alcoholism that he could seldom be relied on to deliver his lines. You add that into a weekly show that required its own aerial unit each episode...
@@mattmenefee3889 not to mention that the scripts for season 3 were not that good, plus the departure of Deborah Pratt and her then husband Donald Bellasario's departure didnt help matters.
They've been repeating this on Legend channel in the UK. I'm old enough to recall watching the pilot in 1983!! and JMV as The Worlds Greatest Athlete in '73. Airwolf S1 was OK, S2 introduced Caitlin, focused on more human stories (there was a crash & it looks like they curtailed the air stunts). But by S3 it was becoming formulaic, the Lady would only appear in the final 10 minutes and I've lost count of how many times that little bubble-chopper with massive guns gets blown out of the sky each week. It was obvious the money was running out, choppers are hugely expensive to fly and all the filming helicopters. S4 was an awful reboot, poor Santini blown up (Borgnine was brilliant, he gave the show brevity in contrast to JMV broody String), and what about String finally meeting his long lost brother?. After 3 seasons of searching, String leaves....You'd think he would like to hang around with St John???. S4 physically looks bad too, was it shot on 16mm?. S1-S3 probably 35mm Panavision.
It was a drama that I loved so much during my elementary school days. I could not see it on air, and I could not feel my heart all day long when I went to school.
Yo the sound that Airwolf makes when she's flying at supersonic speed is ridiculous. It sounds so 🔥 dope. It's like a war cry like mofo I'm coming for you
4:40 my favorite emotional part along with the music. String remembering his brother before having to be forced to survive and kill the person who may have had a clue on where he is.
According to the first episode of season 4, The firm knew where sinjin was. They got him out, then he went back undercover. They probably told him about string and airwolf. The only question I have is Why didn't they trade? String gets his brother back and he gives them airwolf.
@@danielmarinucci7708 maybe because String was the best pilot of Airwolf and had returned almost always with a successful mission completed. They wanted to keep on using String, Dom and Caitlin because of their effectiveness in the field with Airwolf.
No one can replace Stringfellow Hawke or Dominic Santini no one Jan-Michael Vincent Ernest Borgnine died rest in peace and Godspeed is only one Airwolf
Sad part is, when String finally saw St. John after nearly 10-15 years of wondering if he was still alive, all he could say is "Please don't let me die". RIP String/Jan-Michael Vincent!
Everyone I speak to about Airwolf remembers this episode and when they went up against the other Airwolf which was red in places. Both had links to his missing brother
Sultuxes They’re fucking awesome! They give it a heavily-armed payload, not to mention a deadly “don’t fuck with me” look, with the missile ordnance on full-display.
This is one of my more favorite episodes. When String got beat up outside the bar and he saw a figure of a man very blurry, does anybody know was that mace or st. John?
why in gods name don`t they make anything like this anymore, i know that they tried with a new knight rider, and although it was entertaining it wasn`t as good as the original, i don`t know what it was with 80s adventure shows and the like, so for a time there you could at least in the uk turn on the tv especially on a saturday and watch one of the following shows and have a really good time for the next hour or so, : airwolf, knight rider, the a team, street hawk, automan, the dukes of hazzard, the fall guy, the incredible hulk, the amazing spiderman, magyver, at least for a time during the 80s when it was the weekend and i didn`t have rotton old school to go to, i could turn on the tv and watch these shows and be in heaven, and now its really quite a shame that we dont have the likes of these shows these days, and the closest you`d come is to keep seeing repeats of these tv shows on sky or dvd, or where ever.
Caught off guard how often does this happen being a total surprise caught in television motion picture yes a brothers grim stupidity come Dr Moffet get a correction on grip I'm not crying over his lost repair in progress Stringfellowhawk
Hawk is too good and dom as well with airwolf it's the best combat helicopter but without airwolf hawk would still beat anyone but of course you need a top helicopter so airwolf comes in.
Well Moffitt blew a French Air Force Mirage out of the skies over Chad. Then he sunk a US Navy Destroyer before Hawk captured it. Best thing about Airwolf was that with the chain guns and missile pod retracted it looks just like an Executive chopper. Very stealthy.
Absolutely love this show since a kid, but always annoyed me when the lady's weapons were deployed...then the next shot they weren't, then they were again, then weren't (again)...then kaboom...
Why did Mace not tell String where his brother was and why did he want to shoot him down during that dog fight? I thought String and Mace were war buddies, was there bad blood between them?
I don't remember how the story went. To guess, I think Mace sold out Sinjin to escape. At that point he might have already lost his sanity, but he was undoubtedly off the rails years later. All that was left was a killing machine fueled by hate and anger. Whatever he was was long buried over the years by corpses and ashes piled up by his mercenary Malevolence.
Mace used Hawke as a prop to sell the HX1 and he had bad blood against String because he blamed him for leaving him and Sinjin behind even though the ropes on his chopper were full.
That man was on a mission to find his brother then he shows up in season 4 and the show should have ended there period happy ending but they tried a season 4 god awlful now everyone could fly airwolf
The filming sucks. One second the cannons and chain guns are showing, the next moment they aren't. They needed better editors when they made this show. And didn't the episode about bo Dee fung have a pilot who knew Sinjin as well? Then Hawk shot him down as the other pilot was saying I know where Sinjin is!
Harmless error And tg stubs star studded performance his brother is. Scape goat doesn't exist he was a rat of a brother got the wrong picture years ago so for a bye game he brother
The acting was superb! You can feel his pain of wanting to find his brother and not wanting to kill his former friend. Love this episode.

And because Mace wasn’t near as good a pilot as Hawk. The choppers were equally matched but the difference between them was the man in the cockpit.
You are very very right
If String had been focused...it would of been no match!!
Rest In Peace Charles Cyphers💔💔😢😢
Jan might have been one of the best actors to ever exist. What a sad ending to his career. The tone in his voice while pleading with Mace felt so real. Like you could feel the emotion in being desperate to find his brother. R.I.P. to that legend.
RIP Jan Michael Vincent
“Gentlemen, you are about to see a demonstration of HX-1’s air to air capabilities, against the U.S. Government’s finest”.
Great episode - I love the growl Airwolf lets out just before Hawke pulls a hard right turn and goes in for the kill. 👌
Jan Michael Vincent... what amazing acting here! The tears coming there at the end. Airwolf was always at its best when the personal issues and emotions made the amazing air action secondary to the plot. Bravo!
I like how you can tell just with Vincent's eyes he has accepted what he has to do.

"Season 4|" was just a cheap Canadian rip-off production. I don't even count it as canon.
Airwolf was sold to a different production company and did not have the budget as the 1st 3 seasons

love the music tempo change at 4:19 and Dom's desperate voice when things start getting really serious
Not to mention the lady's wounded growl at 4:52, even SHE has had enough.
It was a drama that I loved so much during my elementary school days. I could not see it on air, and I could not feel my heart all day long when I went to school.
When AIRWOLF starts breathing and growling real hard, SHE'S going in: STRING, I'M READY TO KILL MODE!
Another tragic end sequence where String loses another clue on where his brother is.
Airwolf is the best!!!
Why don't you came tomorrow Facebook one direction you're welcome
HX-1, one of my favorite episodes
Didn't the HX1 (like many of the combat aircraft in this franchise) show up for an encore with a different baddie behind the controls?
@@rlouie05 yes and no doubt due to budget purposes.
I especially liked the one with the busted tail rotor... 🤣
Yo the sound that Airwolf makes when she's flying at supersonic speed is ridiculous. It sounds so 🔥 dope. It's like a war cry like mofo I'm coming for you
2:04 that sound is from Star Wars.
That was my favorite episode!
same that and the gaslighting of archangel by the soviets
When a man knows his stuff, man and machine becomes one.
The Lady is howling!!!!
Airwolf win's the Battle 200%
Once those guns deploy you know its over with lol
Give us a show
This was prob the closest Airwolf has got to an equivalent.
One of the best episodes
Apart from Redwolf
daniel White you have a point with Red Wolf but Jenkins didn't get as close as Mace did to destroying Airwolf
ps36081 you right about that
ps36081 know one has ever come close as mace did
A Squadron of B-52's and moffets ghosts was the Air wolf equivalent. ua-cam.com/video/DQ-HHMJZCVw/v-deo.html 3:42
Does it ever bother anyone that it shows Airwolf bare after they deploy the weapon systems? That bugs the hell out of me.
Air-Wolf still one of a kind.

When String got behind Mace,he (Mace) knew he was dead!
Mace was trash, Hawke and The Lady could have blown him out the sky before he even knew they were there.
No one can replace Stringfellow Hawke or Dominic Santini no one Jan-Michael Vincent Ernest Borgnine died rest in peace and Godspeed is only one Airwolf
The best part was left out when string is using airwolf's PA system to talk to sinjin.
Daniel Marinucci That was in the episode "Once A Hero".
@@Airwolf10002 yep. I spoke too soon I always thought my hearing/eyesight would go 1st.
WfnTV has that clip on here, I believe. I think the title has the words Strike Team in it or something similar.
i know string fellow hawk says sinjin// but according to wikipedia the name was saint john// i'm not sure who to believe.
@@stanleymaestas5441 Sinjin is to Saint John like Jim is to James and Bob is to Robert.
hawk had more look with his radio controlled hellicopter than I did with Airwolf crash and smash mastertronnic edition on the Comodore c16.
A friend ain't a friend no more when he's trying to kill you!
Take him out!
Back again to view this offering WFTN. Thank you.
String,fire back!!
Sad part is, when String finally saw St. John after nearly 10-15 years of wondering if he was still alive, all he could say is "Please don't let me die". RIP String/Jan-Michael Vincent!
triple_12 No, he didn’t - get it right. He said: “I’m gonna die! I don’t wanna die in this place!”.
So was there a secret Air-Calvary in Vietnam that trained Helicopter pilots to fly futuristic jet like choppers?! Stringfellow, Mace, St. john,..Ect.
Devin Drew No, Hawke began flying jets *after* the war. It was never explained how or why.
Hawke was one of the original pilots during the testing of Airwolf with Moffet if I recall correctly.
Everyone I speak to about Airwolf remembers this episode and when they went up against the other Airwolf which was red in places. Both had links to his missing brother
In this episode, I never understand when Dom says "He's hit he's hit bad" but he always calls her a lady. Very sad I know.
I must admit I definitely like the enemy super helicopter, "The HX-1." I definitely love the enemy super helicopters super weapon systems.
My 2 favorite helicopters of all time squaring off in a Dogfight.
They don't make shows like this anymore.
Michelle song comment key
Im surprised they didnt use a S76 as AIRWOLF. Ironically the Real AIRWOLFs call was 76S 😉
EPIC episode! In my country, this episode was called "Eagle x Eagle" !
I loved this show as a kid. Seems like I was the only one. Everyone picked on me for liking it. So I became cold like hawke.
1:37
The only flaw in HX1's design: those ridiculous side pods.
Sultuxes They’re fucking awesome! They give it a heavily-armed payload, not to mention a deadly “don’t fuck with me” look, with the missile ordnance on full-display.
Great episode. Thanks.
AIRWOLF MEANS:TRY JESUS, DON'T TRY ME!
Awesome thumb up.
1:14 wow, its a big flying elephant, 5:36 sorry guys, your new toy was blowing up by airwolf, lol.
What are the odds after String destroys this helicopter that it would land somehow perfectly on the camp? Like String always said, "Jo Bet!"
This is one of my more favorite episodes. When String got beat up outside the bar and he saw a figure of a man very blurry, does anybody know was that mace or st. John?
It was mace. That's why the others didn't kill him.
is it saint john or sinjin ?
according to google sinjin and saint john are the same name just phonetical difference
why in gods name don`t they make anything like this anymore, i know that they tried with a new knight rider, and although it was entertaining it wasn`t as good as the original, i don`t know what it was with 80s adventure shows and the like, so for a time there you could at least in the uk turn on the tv especially on a saturday and watch one of the following shows and have a really good time for the next hour or so, : airwolf, knight rider, the a team, street hawk, automan, the dukes of hazzard, the fall guy, the incredible hulk, the amazing spiderman, magyver, at least for a time during the 80s when it was the weekend and i didn`t have rotton old school to go to, i could turn on the tv and watch these shows and be in heaven, and now its really quite a shame that we dont have the likes of these shows these days, and the closest you`d come is to keep seeing repeats of these tv shows on sky or dvd, or where ever.
They should have had the mercenaries that stole HX1 come back

What a loss ! He knew where Sinjin is.
Saint John is dead
After being destroyed HX1 appeared in later episodes of the series as the BX-16 gunship, and then stationary outside Santini Air too
3:58 *MACE changed cockpit sides in the middle of a dogfight!!*
They mirrored/flipped the scene. They do they a lot in film for various reasons.
@@DJ_Force thought he switched seats to get a better view ;)
I love this scene
Hawk is too good and dom as well with airwolf it's the best combat helicopter but without airwolf hawk would still beat anyone but of course you need a top helicopter so airwolf comes in.
The sad truth is with all those helicopters flying around with that weaponry US airforce would have a field day.
Well Moffitt blew a French Air Force Mirage out of the skies over Chad. Then he sunk a US Navy Destroyer before Hawk captured it. Best thing about Airwolf was that with the chain guns and missile pod retracted it looks just like an Executive chopper. Very stealthy.

4:50 Goddammit, Hawke! Wake up! This is no time for your Vietnam Syndrome!
And airwolf is cute
Airwolf don't kill our child
Anyone not believe St. John wasn’t buried in Mace’s grave? Remember the scene with Mace’s parents.
St. John was operating in special secret missions for the FIRM throughout the series. Archangel was being played for indirect use of Airwolf.
The 4th season doesn't count. Once the series left CBS it became a separate series and it was total garbage.
@@iTHX-7R3 First rule about Airwolf.....we don't talk about season 4. 😂
HX1 would have made mincemeat of Airwolf if the pilot had fired all missiles instead of cannon guns. Pound for pound HX1 had this won.
Hawk was playing with mace he could beat him.and use only one shot and destroy hx1
I liked to watch airwolf and I have some favorite episodes this episode and airwolf 2 are just two of them.
Absolutely love this show since a kid, but always annoyed me when the lady's weapons were deployed...then the next shot they weren't, then they were again, then weren't (again)...then kaboom...

Air Wolf II ("Red Wolf") or HX1, which one is better? Greetings from Brazil! Air Wolf is named "Águia de Fogo" (Fire Eagle) here.
HX1
HX-1, indeed.
Greetings from Brazil, too.
I would have fired back a lot quicker than he did I know he wanted to find his brother but it does no good if you get blown out the sky

you want Airwolf episodes ? I know where you can view them...
zo good

i remember the episode, but who created the hx 1?
The Firm created HX-1
That man was on a mission to find his brother then he shows up in season 4 and the show should have ended there period happy ending but they tried a season 4 god awlful now everyone could fly airwolf
