OT: Favorite T.V. shows? Remember Airwolf and the A-Team?!!

McGuyver, though he was a physicist and not an engineer (otherwise the he would have defeated the badguys in 1/2 hour instead of 1).

I think the helicopter on airwolf is actually based on a sleek looking passenger helicopter. I think it is Eurpeon, maybe Itallian.

Todays good guys and bad guys are even better shots than the A team.

The good ol' A-Team... was there anything they couldn't do with a welding torch and a few sheets of 1/2" steel?

Oooo, I pity da fool. :D
 
Burke,
How about Capt.Midnight!Or the Bob Cummings Show(Guy had the most beautiful women on every show)!How about bounty hunter Josh Randell(Remember a guy named Steve Mcqueen)& HIS CUT DOWN CARBINE!
jim :D :D
 
I just read that Airwolf was a Bell 222. It didn't say what it was originally designed for.

Now was the A-TEAM van a Chevy or a Ford?

Sure, and Howdy Doody, Kukla Fran and Ollie, Winkie Dink and You, Captain Kangaroo, Have Gun Will Travel, Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy, and a couple of live TV local shows you never saw: Uncle Elihue, with his "possumgrins", and Mark Wilson, magician, with his lovely assistant Lonnie Darnell. Remember live TV?:cool:
 
I've seen'em all. TV was such a novelty early on that we'd watch anything -- even if the picture was rolling. At first we could only get Kansas City (120 miles) with a tall antenna and Tulsa (100 miles) when the weather and everything else was just right. Then Pittsburg and Joplin got stations and we had it made -- 3 stations.

Now I've got Direvtv with maybe 60 or 70 channels and have a hard time finding anything worth watching.

Actually, I miss the early days when there was only radio and you made your own pictures in your mind -- Lone Ranger, Terry & the Pirates, Jack Armstrong, et. al., and my Saturday night favorite fright show, The Hermit's Cave (and it wasn't Jim Clifton) which scared the hell out of me but I loved it.
 
"I Spy"- Bill Cosby's big break into show biz...
"Man From U.N.C.L.E."
"Rat Patrol"- It's amazing that Rommel didn't relieve Hauptmann Dietrich for gross incompetence...
"12 O'Clock High"
"Night Gallery"
"Battlestar Gallactica"
"Six Million Dollar Man"- back when that was considered a lot of money...

"Airwolf"- They never did explain how they got around a big problem with high-speed rotary-wing aircraft. That is, the faster you go the more lift is generated on one side of the rotor system (advancing blade), and the less lift is generated on the other side of the system (retreating blade). The cyclic can compensate to a point, but eventually the retreating-blade side will stall, causing the aircraft to roll in that direction. Vectored thrust w/ their turbos????
 
and:

"Wild Wild West"- especially Artie
"Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea"- the Flying Sub was COOL!!!
 
Seen'em all and never did like to work on choppers. Of course, back when I was learning to fly we still wore leather helmets, silk scarves and our nav system was called dead reckoning and the com system was lights from the tower.
 
Bill,
