"Riptide," They lived on a boat, hightailing it to international waters, the nerd guy in cahoots with Richie Adler)

I LOVED Riptide. Joe Penny had a comic streak that was never taken advantage of after Rip Tide because he was so ruggedly handsome (which can be a disadvantage sometimes). And I loved that helicopter.

I remember the helo on "Riptide," she was called "The Screaming Mimi." It was an old Sikorsky S-55. IIRC, on one Airwolf episode, Dom had to fly an an old Sikorsky S-55 to Mexico and he finds a (then 1985) 12 year old Shannon Doherty who was a stowaway aboard.

Ah, things were saner then. B-((
