Hawke takes a seemingly luxurious Santini Air job, piloting and accompanying a beautiful, high-flying business woman for a few days, but ends up duped into being hypnotised in an elaborate plot by master criminal John Bradford Horn. Horn has desire to take over a small country as his own, and intends to have the hypnotised Hawke deliver Airwolf to him so he can use the chopper's fierce fire-power to succeed in his goal...moreless

    • TRIVIA (4)

      ADD TRIVIA
      • Season 3 is distinguished, in that the Airwolf logo/banner is displayed at the end of each episode, rather than an episode billing.

      • At the end of the episode, when the crew search Horn's car, Dominic is mysteriously able to open the trunk without the key.

      • Archangel discovers Caitlin's ability to fly Airwolf in this episode.

      • At the climax, on the shot after Horn and his daughter go to escape in their car, the shot of Hawke in Airwolf is quite clearly back-to-front, with him sitting on the opposite site of the cockpit.

    • QUOTES (1)

      ADD QUOTES
      • Caitlin: What do you want me to do with (the package)? Dominic: I'd like you to cut it up into small pieces, put it in a big bowl with lots of sauce...OPEN IT! What else?!

    • NOTES (6)

      ADD NOTES
      • Rod Wilson won an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Makeup for a Series, in this episode.

      • Liddy Roley (Lad Technician) is surely some relation of episode writer / director Sutton Roley. (Knowing people in the right places sure does have its benefits!)

      • This episode gives strong indication Caitlin has romantic feelings for Hawke, something lightly touched upon for the first couple of episode when she was introduced in the second season, before they faded out. There is definate indication of such feelings from her here; but it is the last time it is touched upon in the series.

      • Catherine Hickland played Stephanie "Stevie" Mason on a trilogy of episodes spanning 'Knight Rider's run – the first season's 'White Bird' (1983), the second season's 'Let It Be Me (1984), and the fourth season's 'The Scent Of Roses' (1985, broadcast 1986). She was married to series star David Hasselhoff from 1984-1988, after they met filming the first episode of the trilogy.

      • Be it the loss of Bellisario, writer Sutton Roley wanting to try something new, or whatever, this story is rather different from anything the series has had up until now, with elements such as the brain-washing scenes almost feeling like something out of 60s 'Batman'.

      • 'Airwolf' returned for a third season, but without Creator / Executive Producer Donald P. Bellisario, who left after constant disagreements with CBS over what he / they wanted to do with the series. He took with him Deborah Pratt (Marella), who by then was his wife. With Bellisario's exit, much of the show's distinctive tone was lost, and while the series still produced some fair episodes, it was lacking the clever, often dark over-toned scripts of the first season. (However, the worst was yet to come, with the much-hated Canadian-produced 4th season!)
