Airwolf is the most sophisticated helicopter imaginable (flies halfway
round the world, outruns jet planes). Stringfellow Hawke is its pilot,
essentially blackmailing a secret US agency into finding his brother
(lost in Vietnam) while he flies dangerous assignments for "The Firm." A renegade pilot and his partner "steal" an advanced battle helicopter
that they feel would be used unethically by its owners, a secretive
U.S. intelligence agency. They agree to continue flying it on missions
for the agency in exchange for the agency's help locating the pilot's
missing brother.
