Airwolf S01 E01 Shadow of the Hawke

Dr. Charles Moffet develops a new prototype super-helicopter code named "Airwolf" for the FIRM (CIA cover), but at the demonstration for the brass assassinates Senator William Dietz, destroys the control center, and disappears with it to Khadafy's Libya, where he proves French mirages and American destroyers are no match for Airwolf and sadistically enjoys excessive privileges. FIRM head Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, nicknamed 'Archangel', is hell-bent to recover Airwolf, so he and his sexy colleague Gabrielle Ademaur spare no effort to recruit by seduction or by blackmail the brilliant Vietnam vet pilot Stringfellow Hawke, who lives as a recluse with his dog but works as a Hollywood stunt pilot with his business partner Dominic Santini. Having his grandfather's priceless stolen art collection "taken hostage" and losing the movie job, he accepts under one tough condition: Archangel most locate his brother St. John, MIA and presumed killed in action, hoping for a rescue.
