Gunner Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ah man....I just bought the whole series on DVD. It was a lot cooler show when I was a kid. It's a little different when you're a kid and you don't know about Retreating Blade Stall and the ablility for a Bell 222 to go Mach 1....

james28 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 lol, i watched it through and enjoyed it. little cheesy in some parts, if only i were a year or two younger i would have really liked it. some good lines though, "you can back me some if you want" and some really cool flight sequences in fast forward. i like the theme song and the suped up helo. good find gunner.

Superman Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Airwolf was cool, Ya I know the whole plot was pretty far fetched, but it's still fun to watch. If you're into the Airwolf thing, they have a really nice 1/48 diecast model of it out now. Girlfriend gave me one for Christmas, made by Aoshima, can find them on ebay.

FUSE Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Good post, thanks.... When I was in the Robinson Safety Course earlier this month Ernest Borgnine interrupted our class. Got to shake his hand and say hi then he was out of there.... Was an interesting interruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james28 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 those headsets are pretty expensive. ranging from 500s to 1500s. would be pretty cool though. i guess i'll have to settle for the model helo instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank was showing him around. Met Him and his wife. No idea why he was there, but your never too old to fly right??? At least that's what I'm telling myself, I don't ever want to be too old...

At some point as we all get older our reaction time slows below a level I believe would be safe in helicopters (at least anything coming out of Robinson). I can't imagine my dad in his 70s trying to fly a 22 these days. yet he has 1000s of hours and owned a flight school outside of Atlanta in the early 70s. Ernest has got to be older than my father so I would be very suprised to see him buy a 22 or 44 for himself to fly. Now fixed wing is a different story. Loose an engine in a cessna and you have all day to react (been there done that). Either way very cool that you met him. Too bad he did not fly there in the "Lady" , you might have been able to get a new perspective in retreating blade stalls as Gunner mentioned.
