- I think I took these pictures in 1984 but for sure no later than 1986. The first picture is looking across the main runway when I was searching for Jetcopters hoping to see Airwolf. Then I had to make my way around the airport to find Waterman Drive. The next picture is the rear of that same building. Though I don't think it's visible in the photo, I could see Airwolf inside that hangar. I parked and went in through a glass door into the lobby and asked a lady at the desk if there was any way I could take some pictures of Airwolf. She said I could and led my wife and me to a door into the hangar. To my amazement, she turned around and went back into the office.
I would have guessed from the tv show that Airwolf was black and white. I was really surprised to see that it was a dark metallic gray on top with very light gray bottom. The interior was pure utility helicopter... no fancy Airwolf stuff.
Next is the Sikorsky S76 that was used as HX1 in an episode. A beautiful machine that was much bigger than the Bell 222 Airwolf. It looked like an executive transport inside with red velvet looking captions chairs and a round table in the passenger area.
And of course the Santini Air. Nothing special about it. The blue paint almost looked like it was sprayed on with an aerosol can.
The last picture was the next building and almost looked like a bunch of spare parts.

In 1986 my Late Dad and I were working in Long Beach, CA. They filmed an episode of Air Wolf next door to where we where working. I got to see the Santini Air and The Lady both fly in. Sadly The Lady did not scream when she came in like she did on the show but in my head that's the sound that I heard. And it was not the episode they filmed at the Queen Mary. The address for where it was is 1925 Pier D street. But when we worked there the address was 1925 Water street they changed the name of the street sometime in the 90's.
RIP to all 🙏 Good to see the "Lady" once again.
I went to Monroe high school in the '80's. I remember many afternoons being out on the football field & seeing the lady & Santini air flying by. They followed the 405 up to Valencia (I believe) for filming.
Thanks for posting: thanks for bringing back memories.
I drove a truck delivering pianos from North Carolina in the 80s. There was a California 6 motel not very far from the Van Nuys airport where I would occasionally stay. That was when I decided to see if I could spot Airwolf.
@@carlcdp Wow that's pretty amazing that you drove across the country, found the right airport, found where Airwolf was hangered & got in to see her!
@@brianduval8664 To me, that doesn't even compare to seeing it in the air. That's where the beauty really comes to life.
@@brianduval8664 I was amazed that I was turned loose in the hangar to explore. I would bet you couldn't get away with that now.
Motel 6 Sepulveda now. Just looked at it on google maps street view. Same motel building I stayed at. I thought it was California 6 though but maybe always Motel 6. You can also look up Helinet, Waterman Drive, Van Nuys Airport and use street view to see the same hangar where Airwolf was kept.
Thank you for the PRECIOUS Lady AIRWOLF
Thanks for posting...what a sexy girl that airwolf was...what a shame she fell from grace, she would be much loved today
Would have been very cool to see the LADY in person, it's sad that the helicopter wasn't kept in it's original form for fans to enjoy. Also, the sad ending to the airframe when she crashed.
This just made me wonder if they removed the modifications before selling it. I would think so. And if they did, does someone still have them, or were they discarded.
@@carlcdp The modifications were removed after filming and the helicopter was sold to an overseas company for use as an air ambulance. Unfortunately it crashed
@@vettebecker1 That's actually not what he asked lol ..
cool pics
Hi there very good indeed nice from the UK I loved watching Airwolf 😊😊
That was nice of that lady to allow you to take these pictures. Airwolf still a cool show after all these years.
Cool pics, thanks for sharing. I loved that show as a kid!
Agree. Ditto.
Must have been incredible to see The Lady herself in person! Very cool that you got pictures as well. It's so sad that The Lady is gone now.... I wish they would have preserved her for all us fans to enjoy. Well.. The Lady will always remain in our hearts and memories for as long as we all live, that's for sure! Airwolf will always be remembered.
It was exciting to find it and get to walk around it. One of the reasons I took pictures was to show a friend the color scheme for his radio control model Airwolf. I thought it was black and white. Some thought it was a dark Army green and white. I was surprised to see that it was metallic dark gray and light gray. In some of my photos, it looks black and white depending on the lighting angle. Now, I wish I had taken many more photos showing more details and the interior.
Really a luxury and pleasure to be next to Airwolf! Thank you very much for the pictures! Greetings from Argentina
Thanks for sharing 😊 great pictures
This was cool to see
Amazing. Brought back some good memories. Thank you for the upload.
Great photos. You can see a lot of detail in the cabin of Airwolf, you wouldn't normally see. I may be wrong but I'm sure you can see the rear windows.
Thank-you for sharing. Great photos.
Thanks for sharing its great to see the photos
I had pics of Airwolf I took when it was on display at an airshow at the Long Beach Airport. Sadly those pics got lost with time ;-(
And it is STILL the pinnacle of COMBAT Air craft as I SAID ONE of a kind and no substitute
Thanx for sharing all of these images with everyone.
that’s quite glamourous：）
Wow that is awesome! Thanks for posting that
This incredibly AWESOME mecha went way BEFORE her time;it it a tremendously bad LOSS to all even those that do not like her but she is ONE and only the absolute ONE of a kind:bringing the Lady back is probably one of the most intelligent things that can be DONE
Thank you.
This WAS cutting edge
It wasnt really. Just a regular Bell 222 with fibreglass custom mouldings stuck on it. It looked great agreed, but it was just a basic helicopter.
Great photos 🤗
Nice!
TY for sharing
Every time I look back on these few pictures I took, I wish I had taken many more.
Like I mentioned in other comments, I was looking at the color for a friend who built a radio control Airwolf model.
thanks for sharing👍
The Sikorsky S-76 at @1:11 was the personal ship of Pete Mckearn Sr and also used as HX1 in season 2’s HX1, and the BX gunship in season 3’s And a Child Shall Lead not to mention it also has a minor cameo in Season 3’s Crossover.
Here’s any idea, why doesn’t someone make a recreation of Airwolf and donate to the Air Force museum in Dayton.
We NEVER will UNTIL she returns to active duty
Airwolf should NEVER had been sold as an Air Ambulance , Airwolf should be been donated to the Smithsonian Air Museum.

Ich hab diesen Helikopter geliebt :D
Si pudiera viajar ,iría hasta ese lugar para tomarme unas fotos con la señorita
Interesting black patches on Airwolfs nose.
Those would be anti-reflective so bright light wouldn't glare into the pilots eyes.
@@carlcdp Ah, I hadn't seen them on the Aircraft during episodes. They must have had one with and one without?
@@josephmarkey9096 If you're looking closely for them, in some of the scenes, you can see them.
Awesome BRAVO.. Where did you find these wonderful photos? Thanks!!!
I took them with a Pentax camera using 35mm film. I just snapped pics of my photos with my cellphone so I could put them together and post them here.
Not Hawke at 0:50 LOL
No, it's not. Just a fan. Me. Lol
I never seen this before
Sikorsky S76 looked ok nothing special as well in fact I'm not into helicopters none of them look that special , never seen another beautiful helicopter but Airwolf dam her beauty goes on without doubt she's the most beautiful helicopter of all time!!!
