Happy Birthday, Archangel

Yesterday on Sarah Weinman's blog, I confessed to a childhood watching shows like Knight Rider, Street Hawk, and of course, Airwolf.

Creator Don Bellisario drew on his own experience as a Marine chopper pilot for this series. Expert pilot and brooding loner Stringfellow Hawke (future horror-show Jan-Michael Vincent) steals a prototype military chopper and is recruited by The Firm, in the person of one-eyed Michael "Archangel" Coldsmith Briggs III, for covert missions.

"Archangel" actor and Floral Park, NY native Alex Cord turns 72 today.
