Airwolf technically "died" in 1992, the helicopter was sold to Germasny and converted into an air ambulance. Crashed during a thunderstorm killing all 3 crew members.

As for Jan, the only real surprise here is he lasted as long as he did. He had one of his legs amputated a few years back was involved in a number of car crashes and suffered damage to his brain which meant he couldn't even remember a lot of the incidents. Drink and drugs fueled for many years unfortunately :(

“Sound effects were also associated with many of the aircraft's abilities. When Airwolf bolted across the sky in "turbo boost" mode, one would hear it "howl like a wolf" as it made a glass-shattering sound effect.”

The sound of turbo boost was awesome. If you’ve flown on a 787 Dreamliner, they make a similar howling sound when taxiing as the engine RPM changes. Always reminds of of AirWolf. And @Gerard. Just read about the ‘92 incident. Crickey.
