Chrisisinforatreat,
Head for Barnes & Noble immediately. A bookshelf without Chickenhawk is like a DVD rack without Firefly. Mine has been read into ragged submission.
Flying UH1s in Vietnam. The start is good as well. Training from scratch in underpowered piston engined clunkers.
Select to view spoiler:
Brilliant bit where the instructor shows the assembled class a Huey for the first time. Switches on engine, runs it up, switches the engine off, lifts into a hover. Turns 180 and lands in perfect control.
Maybe not spectacular, but bloody cool, which is always better.
And the writing is completely outstanding.
You still here? Anyone not shopping or logging on to Amazon, I'll shoot them where they stand.

I used to love AirWolf, I also liked the movie Blue Thunder. I was fascinated with attack helicopters when I was young. I thought that they were clever ideas.

Remember the noise that AirWolf made when it started up its engines?

Airwolf over Blue Thunder. The Blue Thunder Helicopter looked like it was made out of Meccano!
Airwolf was awesome and I love that wolf cry they gave it when it'd whizzed towards the camera!
I remember as a kid thinking I'd love to live in a place like old Stringfellow Hawk lived in. Man what tranquility... or is that Serenity... anyway, one of the coolest themes aswell!
Never quite understood what that bloke in white was all about though... and he'd show up with a new lady next to him every week too.

Only if they met in atmo and Hawk got the jump on Wash.

I just remembered that Dana Carvey of SNL fame played Jafo, the co-pilot on the Blue Thunder show. Daniel Stern played him in the movie.
