What type of helicopter was used in the tv show airwolf?
The flying Airwolf helicopter was actually a Bell 222 (sometimes unofficially called a Bell 222A, serial number 47085). The helicopter was eventually sold after the show ended and became an ambulance helicopter in Germany. The concept behind Airwolf was a supersonic and armed helicopter that could blend in by appearing to be civilian and non-military in origin – a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Airwolf’s insignia patch (also designed by Probert) as worn by the flight-crew was a snarling wolf’s head with gossamer wings that appears to be wearing a sheepskin complete with the head of lamb over the wolf’s forehead; a play off “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”. http://en.wikipedia.
