I love this Cold-War era cheesy propaganda show!

There was so much Cheese in this show they could've put Wisconsin out of business LOL:) The 80's was so dominated by anti-U.S.S.R. propaganda, along with the so-called "war on drugs" too. More than likely Airwolf was Ghost Written by government people as a recruiting tool for military & "intelligence" services.

I also love how they sped up the footage too, so people would have the impression that it was actually supersonic:) Of course with the V-22 Osprey, there's no longer a need for a high speed helicopter anyway IMO.

The Cold War theme was only prevalent in season one.
This cheesy conspiracy cliche of a post is a hoot though! Maybe "government people" also wrote the James Bond films in the 60's and 70's too- as a recruiting tool. :)

Actually it's not our government that was involved with the production of James Bond, but MI-6.

Other villains included rogue CIA agents, non-communist South Vietnamese, rednecks, mercs, ex-Nazi war criminals/weapons dealers et al, not just Communists.

Unfortunately I suspect your own, rather obvious, political leanings prevents you from acknowledging such diversity in villainy.

Shame.

Then you obviously don't know anything about me LOL:)
