Trivia:

Robert F. Simon's final role.

Goofs:

Continuity: When 'Airwolf 2' is destroyed in the final battle the shot of the exploding helicopter is actually a recycled shot of a smaller, different colored 'bug' helicopter. This is obviously recycled stock footage that has been used to keep production costs down.

Quotes:

Stringfellow Hawke: Land that thing *now*, while I'm in the mood to *let* you!
Harlan 'Tex' Jenkins: Not a chance! Not one chance for *you* Hawke!
