May 16, 2008There is no helicopter, ever, that is as cool and as inspiring as Airwolf. For three very short years, Stringfellow Hawke played cello between daring missions as the pilot of a highly modified (and stolen) Bell 222 helicopter. For the price of a mid-range luxury car, you can own this excellently crafted replica of that gorgeous, and deadly, Lady. Volcanic hideaway not included.

E-Hobo.com sports a gallery of art depicting each hobo, plus a few more. John was gracious enough to record himself reading the names.
