Im with TD, Whirlybirds was ACE.

However the best ever Chopper was the 5 speed one made by Raleigh with handlebar tassles! I used to dream of owning one when i was just a nipper staring through the local Halfords shop window on half-day closing on thursday's.

Aaaaghhh, them was the days. Not a care in the world.

Blue Thunder was alot more plausible than Airwolf. Airwolf was un realistic and thus crap(er ). You're all just blinded by its sleek likes and superior (un-realistic) technology. I suspect all those who voted for Airwolf think that KITT was cooler then the General Lee too.

The fact that Blue Thunder got less votes is what makes it so cool in a retro super chopper type way mate!!!

KITT was cool, but the general lee rocked, I'm with you on that one.

I was also a fan of streethawk - and was then horrified a few years later when I saw how dated and crap the bike looked. Same goes for KITT. But, IMVHO, airwolf still looks as stylish as hell.

To be honest I think Airwolf is pretty cool really but I've just allways favoured Blue Thunder as it was out first and although Airwolf looked bigger, sleeker, faster and more potent I allways prefered how Blue Thunder looked, in boxy 80's stylee type way mate!!!

Looks very mediocre to be honest, but who cares.
