Airwolf
Armed stealth chopper
Airwolf is an American television series from the 1980s centered on a high-tech military helicopter and its pilot.
The helicopter itself—a sleek, black, weapons-laden aircraft capable of supersonic speed—became iconic.
The name sometimes appears in nostalgic references to 1980s action television: That drone looks like something out of Airwolf.
