One of my more favorite episodes!

And They Are Us is a character driven episode. One of my more favorite episodes! Wishing us all bad luck is the line! There is an African civil war in a fictitious country with the usual political problems and a general who wants power. What the general needs is some mercenaries which one happens to be Hawk's old commander from Vietnam. And They Are Us has the old commander who chronically drinks, and is a combat junkie. From high to low to high again. Always needing more action. The old commander is a chopper pilot hero who shot down and Ace in the old war in needs another kill. The mercenaries fight over women, drink and even drink with the guy the unit shot down. Crazy for adrenaline and money is the mercenaries goal. The commander even has morals and does not kill Hawk and a down pilot, but want his adrenaline fix! A battle with Hawk! Great dog fighting with a pack of choppers against Airwolf! The viewer finds out is a superior machine. My friends and I had a good laugh watching And They Are Us back in the day.

And They Are Us

Airwolf brings its cynical political viewpoint to Africa. Marty Vidor is an ace pilot who works as a mercenary for South Limbawe. Its chief general plans to get rid of the puppet president and escalate the war with North Limbawe.

Vidor served in Vietnam with Hawke and might know the whereabouts of his brother, but Hawke thinks he might be able to redeem his old commanding officer. Hawke has been sent by Archangel to aid North Limbawe whose leader is sceptical of westerners who want to help out especially as both countries have oil resources.

There is plenty of sturdy acting from Jan-Michael Vincent through his helmet whereas the hills of California makes for an unconvincing African country.
