It's now at the Museum of Aviation in Sevierville. Just up the road.

hey, I got a kick out of Airwolf. BS idea as far as what it could do,
but it was cool looking. I agree on Knight Rider, and someone tell me
that car wasn't gay.
Which Batmobile? Has to be the classic from '66...

And who's been taken for a ride
Ain't you glad
Oh, ain't you glad
But ain't you glad
Cars don't talk

The worst part of Airwolf was watching the lead, what the hell was his
name? During the run of the show he became more and more immersed in
whatever his particular addiction was.

Whatever became of him?

Whatever became of the original helicopter used in the show?

Last I've heard, Jan-Michael Vincent is living here in my town
(Vicksburg, Ms.). He's been here for 7 or 8 years AFAIR. I've never
seen him that I know of, but I understand I wouldn't know him. He
looks like a street bum, scruffy beard & all & supposedly is
wheelchair bound now, due to injuries from a wreck or something. He's
very reclusive & has a wife or live - in girlfriend. I think he's
supposedly staying pretty clean & sober, except for the pain pills he
has to take. Somewhere, there's a website that goes into similar
detail, tho my info is second-hand only from a couple of friends who
have dealt with him over the years.

Jan Michael Vincent.....
According to IMDb, "Fallen Hollywood pin-up Jan-Michael Vincent has
gone public about his alcoholism and health struggles in a shocking
new TV expose. The former Airwolf heartthrob, who has suffered a
series of legal and medical setbacks since his career heyday two
decades ago, has taped a rare interview for news show The Insider,
which will air next week. Struggling to speak after one of his vocal
chords was shattered in an emergency medical procedure following a car
crash in 1996, which left him with a broken neck, the now-grizzled
star admits alcohol robbed him of his career and memories. Asked to
recall the car accident that almost killed him 11 years ago, the dazed
actor slurs, "Y'know, I have no idea what you're talking about. I
don't remember being in an accident." He goes on to admit he's an
alcoholic."
His last movie (more of a bit part, actually) was in 2002.

Jan-Michael Vincent got into legal trouble through (IIRC) domestic
violence.  He looked pretty wasted a year or so ago when he was interviewed
for Entertainment Tonight/The Insider (I consider those to be the same
program, since it's the same production company and same resources and so
on).

>Whatever became of the original helicopter used in the show?

Sold to a German Medevac company and it crashed while on a rescue run.

On the whole I'd rather have Ann Sothern talking to me through the radio
than William Daniels.  They don't make them like her anymore.

Are you sure about that?  I read that the airframe had been stripped of the
added effects hardware and sold to a buyer in the UK over eBay.

Located at Halson's Helicopter Museum. It's a "recreation", not the
original

Halson's Helicopter Museum was the one I talked about at the start!  It's
GONE.  Being replaced with something else.  Airwolf's gone.
