Unusually cordial about this act, the Firm proceeds to hire Hawke as a mercenary to fight against various threats from communists or criminals, with the assistance of fellow pilots Dominic Santini (Creator/ErnestBorgnine) and Caitlin O'Shannessy. Several times, the Firm would attempt to recover Airwolf, despite the fact that they routinely allowed Hawke into sensitive areas to discuss the helicopter's placement. (The Soviets tried to do the same, although the discussions tended to be far more forceful.) Hawke and company were assigned their missions by the Firm's deputy director Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, codenamed "Archangel" (Alex Cord).

The concept of the show is that Stringfellow Hawke, a helicopter pilot whose brother is missing in Vietnam, manages to blackmail the Firm (a thinly veiled branch of the UsefulNotes/{{CIA}}) by [[GrandTheftPrototype failing to return a prototype helicopter]] that he'd retrieved for them after the chopper's creator, the evil Dr. Moffet, flew it off to Libya.

After Season 3 ended, the show was radically retooled with Stringfellow Hawke replaced by his brother Saint John Hawke. The sole season after this, which was made for Creator/USANetwork at a time where cable series literally had NoBudget, was mostly composed of (painfully obvious) StockFootage and ceased to have much of the previous helicopter action that they had once had.

* ExactWords: Stringfellow agreed to return Airwolf to the Firm, and presumably the Company in the final season. They '''''never''''', at any time, said it would go any further than that, allowing the Company to reassign it to his brother and leave most of the arrangement between String and Dom in place effectively permanently, with the only difference being their handler '''''knows''''' where Airwolf is at all times.
