The Helicopter used in the famous TV Program “Airwolf” was a Bell 222 with a modified exterior. The Bell 222 is the first Helicopter that performed a complete loop in flight.

Although the Helicopter performed to the specification Bell was looking for the Bell 222B was introduced in 1982 with a larger main rotor as a Utility Twin. A Skid type Landing Gear was affixed in 1983.

A lead on to the Bell 222 is the Bell 230 with twin Allison 250 engines for more power. The Bell 230 could be ordered with either a Skid Type Landing Gear or a Retractable Landing Gear. Only 38 units were produced being replaced by the more powerful Bell 430.
