Airwolf, a completely state-of-the-art helicopter that has become an effective tool in the Mid-Eastern struggle, is now in Khaddafi's hands in Libya.

He refuses to turn it over to the government, however, till he receives information about his brother who is missing in action in Vietnam

#7 - Echos From The Past

With a secret mission pending, Hawke and Santini must exorcise this ghost
#16, The Truth About Holly
Hawke helps Dominic rescue his niece Holly from the dangerous drug kingpin, Ed Aarons.

#18 - Sins Of the Past
Home sweet home, isn't the case, when Dominic returns to the Virgin Islands, a place he once called home. Upon his arrival, Dominic learns of his daughter Lylah's murder and is taken into custody as a prime suspect. Despite specific orders from Archangel not to get involved, Hawke flys back to the island to help clear his friend's name and find the real murderer. After an extensive investigation, Hawke discovers the connection between Lylah's murder and the island's new casino facility. The murderer (casino owner) is brought to the forefront and exposed before the local people and authorities. Dominic is released from jail and once again there is sunshine in paradise
#19 - Fallen Angel
Airwolf flies abroad to free the Archangel from East Germany/KGB captivity. Early in the episode Hawke and Dominic once again survive a stunt crash, but this time Dominic isn't so lucky.

Archangel is freed and everyone gets away safely

What's the difference between a pilot and an air traffic controller?
If a pilot screws up, he crashes. If an air traffic controller screws up, the pilot crashes.
