- Question:
- Where is the mock-up, and can I see it in-person?
- Answer:
- The Airwolf mock-up is currently on display at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation in Sevierville, Tennessee.
- Question:
- How much of this mock-up is original from the show?
- Answer:
- As the original mock-up was destroyed, this mock-up is completely new.
- Question:
- Will this mock-up be able to fly?
- Answer:
- No. Much like the original mock-up, it is a static display constructed from an out-of-hours airframe.
- Question:
- Why create a new mock-up? Is the show coming back, or a movie?
- Answer:
- The mock-up is being created to provide an opportunity for fans to see Airwolf on display.
- Question:
- Is there an interior cockpit like I saw on the show?
- Answer:
- Only after a second developmental stage that lands Airwolf on the floor will the full interior be constructed. It currently includes the forward cockpit only.
- Question:
- Will the weapons be deployed?
- Answer:
- Plans for the diplay included a weapons-out configuration, although currently only the ADF rocket pod is mounted.
- Question:
- Who oversaw the re-creation?
- Answer:
- Construction was coordinated and primarily conducted by Steven Stull, also creator of high-quality replica Airwolf helmets. Steven has extensive experience working with composites and put a tremendous amount of detail into the replica.
- Question:
- Does the museum have a website?
- Answer:
- Sure does. Visit www.tnairmuseum.com for more information. You can also find extensive embedded links for this and other related websites throughout the project text.
- Question:
- Why is Airwolf no longer at Halson's Helicopter Museum?
- Answer:
- Due to construction delays and operational restrictions, the enterprise fell behind essential revenue goals and closed after over a year of operation.
- Question:
- The museum was custom-built, right? What happened to the building?
- Answer:
- Dan Haynes custom-designed the building to house displays and interactive exhibits as well as provide a mini-heliport for his tour service. Once sold, it was converted to an adventure golf entertainment center and redecorated to resemble a castle.
