Airwolf is somebody else's, probably Universal's or Bellisarius', and I freely admit that whoever's it is, I'm borrowing their show and they retain all rights, etc.
NOTE: There is a new Airwolf petition for the release of Season 2-4 on DVD. If you'd like to sign it, the link to the petition is on my profile page!
This is the fifteenth story about the period between the end of the 3rd season and the beginning of the 4th. If you have read the other fourteen stories (Single Parent Hawke, The Jade Wolf, The Truth About Caitlin, Old Friends New Enemies, Hawke's Wolf, Father Figures, Personal Business, Hidden Truths, Homecomings, The Ex Factor, A Question of Loyalty, You Are Cordially Invited, The Odd Couple, Spirit of the Wolf), you can skip straight to the story in the next chapter…or read this brief recap of the story so far:
When Stringfellow Hawke reunites Le, the boy he incorrectly believed to be his nephew, with the boy's newly found mother, Ana it is the start of a hectic time for the Airwolf team as a series of missions test their ingenuity, abilities and even the strength of their relationships…
An attempt to take Airwolf by a power hungry General is thwarted but continues to hurt the team when his sister attempts to take revenge for his death by pretending to fall in love with Dominic Santini in order to drive a wedge between him and Hawke. The older man crushed by the betrayal but he begins to recover after a visit from his niece Jo Santini. The one good thing to come out of the situation is new information on Hawke's missing brother Saint John. It provides Hawke with new hope of finding his brother although he begins to worry that his brother may blame him for leaving him in the jungle.
The deputy director of the FIRM, Michael Coldsmith-Briggs III, continues to try and find his brother – now believed to be working for an intelligence agency called the Company, the same agency the FIRM is being amalgamated with by order of Congress. Michael knows the Company will not honour the deal he has made with Hawke and the spy confesses to Hawke that the FIRM is building a third Airwolf. Hawke agrees to work on the new project when Michael reaffirms his own commitment to their deal.
The team's focus shifts back to more personal concerns as Hawke marries Caitlin O'Shaunessy and Michael takes Dom on a mission to retrieve the spy's ex-wife from a research station when she needs medical treatment, injuring himself in the process. Airwolf also causes concern as it appears that she is exhibiting independent thinking and Karen Hansen is drafted into test the machine; she traces all Airwolf's actions to a self-preservation code that Moffett, her creator, added to her programming. Karen determines the self-preservation code was originally another logic bomb to give Airwolf complete control even over the wishes of her pilot unless she was flown by Moffett but Airwolf re-wrote the original code, replacing Moffett with her current crew; the team are safe to continue to fly her as they come to terms with her increasing intelligence.
And now the next instalment: Ghosts
