Airwolf Season 1

Airwolf, an action-espionage television series created by Donald P. Bellisario, premiered on January 22, 1984 on CBS in the United States and ended on March 29, 1986. The show spans three seasons of 55 episodes. A failure of a fourth season was created on a shoestring production with a new cast, recycled aerial footage and poorly produced special effects that failed to match the quality of the prior seasons. It is -not- part of this collection.

Airwolf follows Stringfellow Hawke, a pilot who has to retrieve the helicopter named Airwolf from the hands of its creator Dr. Moffet with the help from his friends, while going through a series of adventures. The original series starred Jan-Michael Vincent as Hawke, Ernest Borgnine as Dominic Santini, Alex Cord as Archangel and Jean Bruce Scott as Caitlin O’Shannessy.

This collection is digitized to MKV files fresh from the DVD boxed sets in the original 4:3 aspect ratio (no forced cropping or "black bars") with the original AC3 stereo soundtrack. Detailed specs are given below.
