I guess no one else noticed this, but this video has been edited for content. In the original version aired on TV, the bad guy (Moffet) is shown at home in Libya in more than one scene, and having altercations with his flight crew. There were at least two scenes where he was having children or women hold up coins between their thumb and forefingers, and he would try to shoot the coin out of their hands. Once he misses and hits a kid, and a member of the flight crew (the same one who complained about him torturing the chick in the desert) gets upset and wants to know why he is doing that, which Moffet doesn't answer. It doesn't seem to make sense and just seems crazy until the end when he is facing down the chopper, when it becomes apparent he was practicing for the refueling port shot. I seem to remember the flight crew being killed somehow too, but that's been cut too. Are all of these Hulu shows edited, or is this one an exception? I would guess most of five minutes is missing from this episode.

I am thrilled to watch these again.
Yes some people may comment on it being cheesy. What is remarkable about this is the ariel work. The Jetcopter's company, is actually what this is based on. They do all the stunt/photo flying for hollywood. This is their show. The main charecter is based on a real rendition of the vietnam huey pilot. The ariel work was done by vietnam pilots. The plot of the MIA is real. This is our history. Hawk's animosity is that held by Vietnam Vets. I have been flying commercially Fixed wing and helicopter for almost 20 years. The flight work here is impeccable. The camera work is still leading edge. If you look at the rotor-head pattern you can see what film speed used. the transitions are perfect. I have thousands of hours in the air maneuvering in small craft for photo/traffic/recon observation and whatnot, and what they do with a semi-rigid/teetering rotor-head is still most impressive. On this pilot episode, they actually stick the rotor-head through the explosion on the end chase scene. That is dangerous and most impressive My commercial flight test was taken with what i would bet was Hawk's real life model. Old Huey medivac pilot, bitter, quiet and complained on sams being shot at him, this was his demeanor...

This show is great! I was they'd remake this,maybe to fight terrorists!

This two-parter was one of the best I've ever seen to introduce a new show. Funny, I never watched it back then, too busy building my empire. Now I have time to do whatever, and guess what I'm doing? Watching OLD shows! HAHAHHAHAHA.Way good. Way Way.
