Quotes

add »
(Moffet's program takes over Airwolf, and it fires upon an aircraft)
Dominic: We just killed that crew, String!
String: It was a test plane - a drone. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Dr Hansen is watching the video clip of Archangel, she's using a 5.25" floppy disc. There's no way a disc of that capacity could hold a full screen 30 second video! (edit)
Right at the end after the crew believe they've rid Airwolf of Moffett's Ghost, you see the Auto Pilot light begin to illuminate - but the panel doesn't have any snow and ice on it like everything else in the cockpit. (edit)
