Even though Airwolf was a really dumb show (a supersonic helicopter? really?), I enjoyed it as much as any other quasi-SF-hi-tech-vehicle-TV-show fanboy of the time, in large part because of broodingly handsome Jan-Michael Vincent, who I’d similarly liked in the mini-series The Winds of War.
Alas, despite being at one point the most highly-paid actor on TV, a lot of that money was ploughed into cocaine and booze, cutting short his career and dogging him with trouble for the rest of his life, which included an ugly domestic violence lawsuit and a vehicle accident a few years back that lost him a leg.
Rest in Peace.
