Airwolf - Stills (Pilot Episode) Shot on October 24, 1983
This episode features New York Street. As "Santini Air" in the show performed stunts for Hollywood productions, the backlot often appears "as itself", usually with a helicopter flying through it! These stills from the pilot episode show David Jones skillfully barnstorming the Hughes 500 around New York Street. These scenes were shot on October 24, 1983.
Many thanks to Clark Van Hoten (www.airwolf.tv) for research and stills.
Helicopter approaching New York Street. The blackout material can be seen clearly - used to stop light flooding through the backs of the facades and ruining the illusion.
