Afterburners on a helicopter was the most ridiculous, unrealistic thing ever. But it was cool as hell. I would totally love to write a story to bring back Airwolf for one last mission.
Every time I hear Airwolf's voice I get shivers down my back. Even after all the years, she is still the best fighting aircraft out there. Would love to fly her in real time not just my dreams.
Me too. It just never gets old. Still gives me to this day the same thrill it did when I was toddler and there are not many things I can say that about
The amount of editing that goes into making it look ABSOLUTELY ONPOINT is beyond genius!!! And to still look believable in this age of super realistic cg, just goes to show how genius the editing team was. No wonder we all fell in love with it!
@@gerv55I really like the part where the mig smokes and then explodes Much better than the original! also how he switches off the afterburner to erase his heat signature so the IR missile gets confused
? What system do you use ? I messed around with avid a bit. I used to reedit BSG> Star Trek tso lots of junk and a lot of fun on slow dais,so I always looked busy.@@gerv55
Oh! That old movie with the Republic F-84F Thunderstreaks as MiGs! Been years since Rock Hudson fought in Korea. Some of the best dogfight footage ever until that time.
I watched this as a teen, and loved it although I knew most of it was Hollywood BS. Then when I was 17, I joined the Army National Guard as a helicopter mechanic (and went active duty a couple of years later as a Combat Medic), and REALLY have to laugh at the stuff they showed in this series now 😂😂😂. Still one of my favorites though.
Helicopters has a natural speed limit, about 450km/h. If you add it`s speed if the craft plus the speed of end of the rotor it easliy excedess the speed of sound and back making the end of the rotor prone to crack. Could the jet make it go faster? Yes, but probaly it would broke the rotor.
Optical effects as a lot of the footage of enemy jets is stock footage, you factor in blue\grey skies and it made sense to do something to the effect that made it stand out from the background.
When i was child i watched it in whole parts but now i understood that it was childern's games helecopter. Very technical team arranged it at that time
Mixed footage, but they were definitely Sabres and Thunderstreaks. In the 1980's there may have been a handful of MiG-17's still in service with some countries who didn't need/couldn't afford better.
A Rock Hudson movie set in the Korean War. Real F-86 Sabres, and real F-84F Thunderstreaks. Some of the best jet dogfight footage until many years later.
So I might be more than a bit of a geek - but in the flying sequences (aside from where they used models), the aircraft the air craft look like F-86 Sabres & F-84 thunder streak :)
Imagine being the pilot that ejected after being hit and surviving and gets debriefed by his superiors try to explain being shot down by a helicopter lol
I loved and still this show. What is funny Airwolf really did not take on the Soviets, it was really destructive to the Cuban air force. Stll well done.
Well... Not exactly, the reason the helicopter was called Airwolf in the first place was that It was an armed-vehicle disguised as a civilian one (like a Wolf in sheep's clothing); Althoguh the name "Steel-Eagle" does Sound pretty cool aswell. (Though it's called "Águia de Fogo" not "Águia de aço").
Nah, we already had "Iron Eagle" with Lou Gossett Jr. (with a F-16 rather than a F-15, because of course), and what is steel really but mostly iron with a little bit of carbon and a maybe a sprinkling of a couple other elements tossed in?
they're pretty time consuming to make if you go the route i do with scouring episodes for clips of sound effects with no speech or music over them, though some of the sounds are off an effects cd.. Making one with music over it and no sounds is much easier.
Thise is a just movie, But helicopter using for groud only attack, and support, not willing dog fight to aircraft's... And... Aircraft is powerfull mechine, and then powerfull war mechine, very intelligence in dog fight, high speed, etc
Ah, that well-known Russian fighter, the F-86 Sabre... 😆 Yet another in the long line of Hollywood proxies. My favourite is still the F-84 ThunderMiGs from the film The Hunters. Still, it was nice to see Hawke go on the attack for once instead of his usual tactic of trapping the enemy firmly at his 6 o'clock and letting them shoot until he gets bored. And, of course, he brought down the second one using the chain guns -- No kill like a guns kill!!
I don’t understand the laughter when people make fun of old movies. Because they show superhero technology (which cannot fly so fast and destroy everyone). We now understand that this is just a movie, and (I'm sure) children loved it at that time. This is not a documentary, but our fantasy. Thanks to the moviemakers from Russia.
Should make a video-game of Airwolf. There it can defy physics and exist. Plus we can fly it Aerial missions offcourse Combined with on ground spy like infiltration stealth missions Set in the 80' offcourse Be part of some historical events perhaps
@@gerv55 great job with the editing and melding of original combat footage from S1-S2 alongside the stock footage that was most apparent in S3-S4, the chopper sound effects also from S4, the rest of the sound effects and music from S2-S3, the special effects work from S1-S3 and the action and battle narrative beats from S1.
Me and my boys, when they were kids, never missed this show. Those were the days.
Yep, Airwolf and many other programs. Good times.
Airwolf, Knight Rider , and StreetHawk all make me glad that I was an 80's child...

I miss airwolf. It was ahead of it's time
and I am sure that the 2 Russians fighters regret to have attack the wolf...
It's aged very well.... just lacks everyone talking and typing into mobile phones
I used to watch it every Saturday on UK tv but the missiles made of light always made me laugh
Optical effects, no real other way to do them, plus they showed up better against a blue or white sky, whereas a grey missile would be harder to see.
@@gerv55 I know lol just found amusing
It used to come on LWT.
I was watching the video frame by frame, but the missiles are animated, right?
@@Ken1Yam yup, some missiles were mounted to the camera helicopter and filmed, but the yellow/orange ones are animated optical effects.

Но МиГ 17 сняли с вооружения еще в начале 1970-ых!
No finer sight on TV in the 80s than watching Airwolf kick ass!!!!
I love how so many of the sound FX were used across so many of the TV series of my youth...
I love Airwolf. I was born in Tawan, 1979 ❤
Few other wolf vids on this channel to watch 🙂
Nice I love these Airwolf battles you make
Crazy accelerating maneuvering high pitch sound frequencies 😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to 80s TV.
I love the sound airwolf would make as it was flying that's howls as it fly's
Aka The Wolf's Howl
Sounded like a Sand Person from StarWars.
@@stevedoe1630...Maybe, show producers got "Wolf Howl" from TIE fighters?
@@stevedoe1630 Yeah, I think Obiwan made that noise
As if the dogfight was cool enough, they end it iconically with "the scream" of the Airwolf engine as it banks home.
Airwolf could clearly battle with MIG-17s. Unfortunately we never got to see if it could fare well against MIG-29s.
NERD!!! Just kidding good comment
Strictly speaking, they are not MiG-17s but F-84 Thunderjet.
Did you know the actual helicopter is used today to fight forest fires? Check it out , it’s pretty cool.
@@patrickwalker711 F-84F Thunderstreak. ;)

We had this show on telly in 90's as iron curtain collapsed. Remember watching this with my mouth wide open. Couldn't wait for next episode.
Those were the days. My childhood.
Me encanta el sonido de lobo del aire cuando acelera, toda la vida me ha gustado ese gruñido de batalla
Airwolf was such a great tv series.
Ukraine needs Airwolf!

and you you need a brain !
@shadwmoses8602: It's called levity. Don't get your underwear in a bunch! 😵
Nope they don't we need to have helicopters like airwolf here in America
We have to stop paying for every countries wars
I miss the 80's so much.
Wow. That was so well put together, your skills are superb!
I feel like I’m 10 again!!

Best Edit of Airwolf
i've seen on youtube since years !
(since Airwolf vs Redwolf)
Thanks
Check out the proof through the night remake 🙂
Thanks for that clip of Air wolf 🐺 I'm thinking of watching the TV series again I've not watched it for a Long time best TV show of the 1980s
3 other vids on the channel for airwolf :)
Love Airwolf, thought about my pilots helicopter licence once. Great theme music for Airwolf.
The episodes where the enemies were fighter planes or other military aircraft were the best ones!
Actually pretty cool for 80s TV!
As an adult/Kid this show was so badass, all the things we have created but still not a semi-powered jet helicopter..
Helicopters has a natural speed limit, about 450km/h. If you add it`s speed if the craft plus the speed of end of the rotor it easliy excedess the speed of sound and back making the end of the rotor prone to crack. Could the jet make it go faster? Yes, but probaly it would broke the rotor.
What always cracked me up as a kid watching was when missiles fired they glowed like lasers lol

meilleurs souvenir de la télé et je garderais toute ma vie les coffrets de cette series

Brilliant stuff I Love air wolf TV series I've got every episode of it
the inertia dampeners on Airwolf worked better than the ones on Enterprise
Awesome show. Takes me back.
Dude had the coolest name EVER!! String Fellow Hawk.
nice work! more please!
2 others on this channel proof through the night remake and airwolf 2 remake from 11 or so years ago.
@@gerv55 l
when Jan Michael Vincent dropped out of the show due to severe addiction to alcoholism and got replaced by some other dude, the show just went kaput.
Sabres and Thunderstreaks stood in as MiG-17s. Clearly Airwolf was of alien tech alternating between deck and 33kft.
That's where the turbos came in 🙂 They got up over 80,000 feet in the show.
Mixed footage, but they were definitely Sabres and Thunderstreaks. In the 1980's there may have been a handful of MiG-17's still in service with some countries who didn't need/couldn't afford better.
@@gerv55In the 80s, there was nothing a good turbo boost couldn’t do.
Aww…you got in before me :) - glad to know I was right 😊

They were. But in their defense Soviet Migs weren't exactly easy to come by back in the day.
Very realistic, Thanks!
Imagine being the pilot that ejected after being hit and surviving and gets debriefed by his superiors try to explain being shot down by a helicopter lol
Imagine a MiG-15 pilot having to explain he was shot down by a Sea Fury.
His Boss: 'Ah, yes, the Sea Fury... who wouldn't want one of those...'
That's damn good.. Excellent

Loved the sound of the show
One of my favorite tv series...
Автором сценария была Шахерезада 💯
I love the soumd airwolf makes
In Brazil the show was called something like "Steel Eagle", wich makes more sense that Airwolf.
Well... Not exactly, the reason the helicopter was called Airwolf in the first place was that It was an armed-vehicle disguised as a civilian one (like a Wolf in sheep's clothing);
Althoguh the name "Steel-Eagle" does Sound pretty cool aswell.
(Though it's called "Águia de Fogo" not "Águia de aço").
Actually, is fire eagle.
Nah, we already had "Iron Eagle" with Lou Gossett Jr. (with a F-16 rather than a F-15, because of course), and what is steel really but mostly iron with a little bit of carbon and a maybe a sprinkling of a couple other elements tossed in?
I would love to make some Airwolf battle videos or audios
they're pretty time consuming to make if you go the route i do with scouring episodes for clips of sound effects with no speech or music over them, though some of the sounds are off an effects cd.. Making one with music over it and no sounds is much easier.
@@gerv55 okay cheers
If the had today effects you would see airwold and the jets in the same frame.
Está serie lo tenía todo mejor película, mejor sonido y además tremendos actores lastima que no hay nada igual como está serie.

Helicopter vs Airplane is just fantastic comparison. Airvolf is great film, but it is a fairy tale. Keep calm.
It's called science fiction.
@@gerv55 Absolutely agree!

Pretty sure Blue Thunder took on a couple of Jets. "Follow my leader" ;-)
@@jymbo7 I'm unfamiliar with blue thunder 😳
Any helicopter can engage jet fighters if they fly low and the heli has missiles.

Okay... the explosions are cheesy. But we all loved our A-Team kind of shows in the 80's.
Airwolf is my helicopter and Kit is my car.
Only if .....the US would have like a 1000 of these Already
Well would have been a huge difference back in the 80s.
Man, the skies above Southern California were a bit hostile during the 1980s.😂
Blowing Russian fighter Jets out of the sky has to be quite a fearsome task. MiG Alley turns into massive wreck alley.

Plus we can fly it
