In the UK and some countries, this episode was released by CIC on video in the 1980s, merged (rather bizarrely) with the second season episode 'HX 1', and given the title 'Airwolf III: Flight Into Danger'. (See under notes for 'Echos from The Past' for more details on these video releases). However, unlike the video version of the Pilot and 'Airwolf II: A Deadly Mission!', this title was only ever released once, intended for the rental market, and as a result, is quite rare - much rarer that the previous two titles in the release series.
(edit)
Although his reasons for being involved with Kruger are eventually explained, this episode (though not the clearest of stories to follow) is a prime example of just how deceptive Archangel could be early on in the series.
(edit)
Sarah LeBow somehow manages to track down Airwolf's location – though just how exactly is never explained in this episode. Seeing that the Firm, and countless other organisations are trying to find Airwolf, it seems curious that one woman alone could track it down. The only other time Airwolf's location would be unwantingly discovered by an outsider, was by sheer chance by a woman running from some killers, in the third season episode 'Discovery'.
(edit)
Archangel: You're unbending, Hawke, unswerving. You think there's a right and a wrong and the right should always win. Not so. There's grey, and beige, there's a lot of almost and compromise, political manoeuvring and intrigue. The people who do THAT are in the business.
Hawke: You still haven't made your point.
Archangel: Forget about Sarah LeBow. Let this Kruger thing go.
Hawke: She knows where Airwolf is, doesn't that concern you?
(Archangel hesitates, deciding how to respond; Marella cuts in)
Marella: We'll arrange a new hiding place for Airwolf
Hawke(laughs): Then you'll know where Airwolf is.
Marella(smiles):Yes. (edit)
Hawke: You still haven't made your point.
Archangel: Forget about Sarah LeBow. Let this Kruger thing go.
Hawke: She knows where Airwolf is, doesn't that concern you?
(Archangel hesitates, deciding how to respond; Marella cuts in)
Marella: We'll arrange a new hiding place for Airwolf
Hawke(laughs): Then you'll know where Airwolf is.
Marella(smiles):Yes. (edit)
The Firm and countless other agencies can't locate Airwolf, but in this episode, Sarah LeBow does. How? It is never really explained.
