'HX-1' At Anaheim AHI Show.... :)

'HX-1' At Anaheim AHI Show.... :)

'Mgosh-I got more views/subscriptions with the 'Airwolf' footage then I did of 'Further Confusion-2007'....thank you all. :)

Okay, well-here is the follow up of sorts to the first video of 'Airwolf' that I had uploaded, the 'HX-1', otherwise known as a Sikorsky S-76. If memory serves, this particular helo, was also used at one time for the Inspector General of the US for a little bit. I guess that's why if you look closely, you can see a Department Of Defense logo on the side...

Anyway-that's what I heard....

At least this time they had the '76 where they wanted to be for takeoff, 'tho I did miss the turbine start-up.

And here again, we have a couple pilots showing off a bit with another 'Beauty' shot during the take off...I also get the feeling that you won't spill a drop of a drink either if you were on board. ;)

I had to fade out the audio a bit earlier then the last one of '76 Sierra, but I gotta agree with the fellow just before the audio fadeout: "THAT'S when I miss flying.... :) "

Hope that you like it... :)

Just a guess here, but I'm thinking it was tough to get permissio from the FAA to fly with those big fake rocket pods strapped to the side. I heard it was difficult getting permission to fly the 222 with the fiberglass "Airwolf" modifications. This is really great video. I love how people are casually walking by in the background. I'd be going "Hey it's freakin' Airwolf". Thanks for the vids.

Hi... (Yes, I still stop by to read the comments.) ;)

"I heard it was difficult getting permission to fly the 222 with the fiberglass "Airwolf" modifications. I love how people are casually walking by in the background."

Well, then as now--some are a little a little non-plussed or something.... As I can remember a bit, Rick Sternbach did the fiberglass mods designs, and some of the pilots had said it made the lady more stable in the air.

Well, that's what I heard.... :)

awesome, the star of the best ever airwolf episode.

thanks so much for posting mate.

[foxtype1973]

No worries! ;) Beleive it or don't, but I never saw that episode...it was only when the folks from Jetcoptors were bringing it out that I found out about it, and since it looked rather cool to me in the mid-afternoon sun, well, why not tape it taking off? :)

Hey where are the missiles on the sides!

Wonderful to see this original footage of McKernan Snr's pride-and-joy (his own personal aircraft at the time). Note the Grand Canyon paint scheme was still intact. Interesting fact that this chopper was owned by the Amway Corporation for many years (into the 1990s) after Jetcopters sold it on (and it still had this paint scheme then).

No way. HX-1 only came as close as it did because Hawk didnt want to destroy its pilot (mace). He was a friend and key to finding his brother, otherwise Airwolf wouldve blown him away in half the time it took.

HX-1 has been and always will be the only thing that almost successfully took out Airwolf. Forget Redwolf and *sudders* Season 4's Scorpion. This was the main chopper next to Airwolf.
