 Dr. Robert Winchester (David Carradine) is a brilliant researcher and a former test pilot who helped design Airwolf. Now, he s asking for Hawke s help in test flying a simulator that he s designed to enable the Firm to train future test pilots to fly Airwolf. Reluctantly, Hawke agrees, but determines that the simulator s "feel" is a little off. Archangel convinces Hawke to let Winchester hook up the real Airwolf to his computers in order to get a more realistic demonstration. This allows Winchester to engage in a little friendly flying competition with Hawke but it also allows the Russians to nearly get their hands on the high tech super copter.
