Nation of Origin: United States

Vehicle Type: Special Operations Helicopter

Notes: Of course, Airwolf is not a real helicopter; it is from the 1980s TV series, Airwolf.  (Actually, Airwolf is is not even technologically possible in the form presented in the TV series; it would be far too heavy to fly due to its weapons load, would not have the interior space it has, could not fly at supersonic speeds or even what would be considered high speeds for a helicopter, and has a sensor fit that simply isn't possible.)

Fictional Notes: Prototypes of this supersonic, heavy lift helicopter were flown as early as the 1980s. Due to high cost, few were ever built, one being operated by the rogue pilots St. John Hawke, Mike Rivers, and Jo Santini. This aircraft was flown as a favor for the CIA by these pilots, in exchange for support and armament. By 2000, this aircraft was still operated out of the American Southwest, on CivGov missions supported by the CIA as best as possible.

Unknown to those pilots, several others were built. Airwolf 2 was destroyed by Airwolf 1 in the mid 1980s. The rest were built shortly before the Twilight War. Airwolf 3 was operated by the DIA, and deployed to the Middle East in support of operations there. Airwolf 4 was operated by Task Force 160, and also deployed to the Middle East in support of US Special Forces, Delta Force, and SEAL teams. Airwolf 6 was deployed as a theatre-level asset to Europe, and went missing in early 2000.

Airwolf uses revolutionary engine and rotor technology to achieve supersonic speeds. Designed primarily for covert intelligence missions, Airwolf has a full camera, night vision, and radar suite, as well as a video camera system that can use the night vision systems. Shotgun microphones are also provided. It carries a laser designator for guiding of its missiles, and a GPS system for navigation, as well as inertial navigations systems. Radar jamming is provided, as well as IRCM systems.

Country of Origin: United States

Vehicle Type: Scout/Attack Helicopter

Notes: The Comanche was not designed to replace the Apache is US service. Instead, it was designed to supplement it on deep penetration and attack missions. The landing gear and weapons racks retract into the fuselage for stealth flights, but weapon space can be expanded with add-on racks. No ejection seats are provided, and the helicopter is not capable of in-flight refueling. The Comanche is a stealth helicopter; all radar and radar weapons have a one level deficit against it, as do IR-based weapons and equipment. The Comanche program was, unfortunately, killed in early 2004.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Comanche did not enter service until 1997, and is relatively rare.
