Im sorry for what happent to Art Scholl later but i cant help but picturing him arguing at Kevin and then the lady just taking off and hitting the turbos dusting off....
@@buckbuchanan5849 The LSO's are more experienced and have a better perspective on the overall situation. It's the pilot's job to report what's happening (engine failure, etc.) and let the LSO make the call.
Ask Ukraine for a full refund. That'll take care of a good chunk. You can't recruit with dems running the country. You can get a trans operation paid for, but some ANG airframes?? Nah.
Don't agree with your reason not to go, Americans are already in Moscow telling Putin everything he wants to know. I also don't blame you for not wanting to kill for a foreign government. How do you ration Putins aggression though? Knowing his motivation do you really think NATO won't get dragged in? If Ukraine losses, dont you think NATO will eventually fight meaning our children...
Excellent Show Gentlemen - Another Brit here (Thank that Tim Davies) - Loved Airwolf when I was a young lad - Love the show - keep on doing the good stuff!
When they were filming Pearl Harbor the Zeros and a Betty (I think) flew over my house in formation and it was the most surreal thing in the world to hear those engines and to see that formation flying overhead into Pearl Harbor which I could see from my place...full on chicken skin
Couple of Corrections to what Kevin said… there has only ever been ONE Airwolf Replica, made from the moulds of the original parts… Steven W. Stull’s Replica that originally hung in Tennessee Museum (which closed quickly), then sold to the billionaire real estate guy in California; it then got souped up by Customs shop, and now exists in a forlorn state and owned by Robin over at CelebHeli in Compton, California. HX1 sequence was actually father and son… Peter McKernan Snr in HX1 and Pete Jnr in Airwolf. David Jones was Co-Ordinator only on that episode. Having met Kevin Snr, he’s a total gentleman and a joy to be around. A very talented pilot who mainly got to fly Airwolf during its 3rd Season.
The original flying Airwolf helicopter was restored to stock configuration and sold, and ended up in service as a German helicopter EMS unit, and crashed in a storm, killing all on board.
I watched Airwolf religiously when I was in 4th grade, and it was the show that made me want to become an engineer (so I could build one for real, one day). As it turned out, my mother had some ancillary involvement with the canceled Comanche stealth scout helicopter, but that was as close as I got. Now I just keep a small Airwolf shrine, make Airwolf models out of LEGO, re-watch the shows, and chat in the Airwolf FB groups. But this interview with Kevin meant the WORLD to me, and is one of the best Mover/Gonky shows I've ever watched. Thank you so much for doing this, and feel free to keep the (semi-obscure) Airwolf content coming!
My Army story is almost identical. Got diagnosed with a rare eye condition by Army doctors. It wasn't severe by any means but they didn't know what it was so I was medically discharged. Went home, got it fixed, cleared by the civvy opthomologist and tried to reenlist. Even got a congressman involved and even tried to enlist in different services..... to no avail.
Mover / Gonky...you guys need go out to California and do the show from Kevin's hanger. Your ability to draw guys like K1 and K2, makes it very worthy of taking your show on the road! I love listening to these guys talk about airplanes, movies and all of their experiences. Seeing you guys interact with them in person would be awesome. Hire you a couple of guys to film it for you and it will be golden! It's the next step for this channel! Do it!!! :)
Well the engines, the flight control system. Most of the Advanced Eagle, which itself is based off the STrike Eagle. EX empty weights are approaching F-14s, they're getting heavy.
You guys should try some how to get Greg arnette! He helped start Oakley sun glasses if I’m not mistaken, and started up and sold Arnette glasses too! That’s how he made his money! But the guy is a helicopter guy! Has some cool helos! And some amazing stories too! Anyways, he would be a great guest! I met him at a fly in here outside of Atlanta Georgia, and he flew his personal militarized aw139 he used with police departments around here to train. And also has a little bird and more if I’m not mistaken! Great episode guys, my favorite podcast every week! I listen on the way to work and on the way home the day after y’all release it!
Like father, like son. Both K1 and K2 are legends in aviation. I got to see his Mustang at an air show in the early 2000s. She was a beautiful warbird.
Can't watch the shows live ..timezones and such ... but watching that back this evening is the most enjoyable 2 hours of RU-vid I think Ive ever experienced. Many of your previous guests have been incredible but for K1 to go from Airwolf ( my fave show in my early teens) to the 2 gems at the end - his encounters with the Mustang and spitfire pilots. What a show.
If I heard Kevin right, “Magnum, p.i.” didn’t end before “Airwolf”. Bellisario just wanted Jones for it. Since they were shooting in CA, AZ and it was heavy work, David moved back there and Steve Kux replaced him. He took over in Hawaii and was the one who suffered the crash (in the 500). His arm was nearly severed; a camera crew filmed it. The footage is on here and one of his team lifted the fuselage. For 2 others to pull him out. The aircraft landed in a ditch and Kux was underwater. BTW Mover, do us a favour, please, and stop groaning about Season 4. It’s been 37 years and it was nowhere near that bad. It turned into a cop show in Season 2 and that killed it in the ratings. It kept jumping from spy/war drama to that, till it limped to the end of 3. Universal spent $60 million dollars on it by then and for 4, they cut the budget to 400 thou per episode: The Canadians were strapped (and weren’t to blame). Nor were the cast. They did more flying than Jan. That only happened on the pilot with him. They couldn’t trust him with the pedals or stick. Ernie got to do more, but only in the Ranger. Didn’t last long. According to Steve Wright who handled the Canada aerials, Kevin does know him. You wouldn’t go wrong interviewing him. He’s been the top film/TV pilot up there and could share plenty about “Hollywood North”. Every studio that has filmed in BC, he’s always been the one flying camera or story. For John Badham (“Blue Thunder” director, but after that), Peter Hyams’ “Narrow Margin” with Gene Hackman (“Capricorn One” Hyams) and Stephen J. Cannell on all his shows after “The A-Team”. “Wiseguy”, “Stingray”, the lot.
This was such a good show, I had to watch it again. Like Mover I loved Airwolf. Even to this day I gaze misty eyed at the most beautiful helicopter ever. There are so many great stories. Flying Airwolf at air shows must have been just awesome. Mover, if you do make your Airwolf and fly it, you need a PA system so you can blast out the Airwolf theme as you fly 😂
I have just watched some airshow videos on youtube with Airwolf.... It is an unbelivable shame what they did to that poor thing... dismanteling and sell it. 😢 I wonder if that pilot knew that he or maybe she is about to crash Airwolf. 😢 Sad sad sad... 😢
