PA. Lines: 23 Those writers must be really trying to pull a fast one on the viewing audience! I mean, who ever heard of a helicopter with "turbo-boost" to push its speed beyond Mach 1 ? The rotors would tear off long before the thing got anywhere near that speed! The propmen are really pushing their luck,too; the AIRWOLF is nothing more than a VERY thinly-disguised large Bell exec 'copter. I really like their special effects,especially the way they speed up the footage of the 'copter at purportedly-transsonic speeds! :-) I saw the first 8 minutes of the pilot, got disgusted and changed the channel. I'd rather watch the public-information channel on cable :-) !! "Let's get 'em, Stringfellow!!" A. J.
