[QUOTE="Silverstrike, post: 16076228, member: 4781"] Here is some information that people might not know about the show. When it first aired around the first 5 episodes, in the opening credits it gave the weapon loadout on Airwolf and it said in it that it had 30mm chainguns well Hughes aerospace/helicopters had the trademark for it so it was quickly dropped never to be seen again, and so they said they was 30mm autocannons from then on. They only had one Bell 222 I always thought they had 2 one in clean configuration and the other armed. But no they would have to land, attach the dummy guns and missile launcher then take off again to film the scenes with extended weapons in place. The action sequences with said weapons being deployed was on mockups that is why you only see the cannon pods being filmed from the bottom up and always the left one as that was all they had for the 4 years of filming the show. So everything to the left of it is nothing but bracing and the motors to activate it. The rocket/ missile launcher was on a smaller scale model of the belly about 1/5th scale. Airwolf was the very last Bell 222 ever made as Bell went to the longer overall 222B model. Sadly when the show ended it was sold to about 3 owners the last was a German med flight company. It crashed in 1994 with the loss of the 3 crewmembers when it was trying to land at a hospital landing pad in dense fog into a hill side. [/QUOTE]
