After the success of Knight Rider (1982) the series and the flick Blue Thunder (1983), which spawned it's own series but flopped, Hollywood decided to make a series about a superhero, a helicopter called Airwolf.
Back then I saw it as a teenager and liked it but seeing it back nowadays it sadly didn't stand the time. And it's just due the story that it is outdated because Airwolf has to fight a lot against the USSR or other communist countries or people. It made sense back then but is laughable now.
Another thing is that they used a lot of the same shots throughout the episodes. For example the explosions of plane sin the air but also the driving to the secret place where Airwolf is based or the way it flies through canyons.
On the other hand the use of stock footage made it look real. The acting is mediocre, only for people who want to see another eighties series but to say it's a must, no it isn't.
