During the events of Airwolf: Season 2 Episode 8 HX1 played by Sam Melville
Dunkirk and Mace Taggart are flying a helicopter with Joe Ganns, Decker and Handley. Joe asks Dunkirk how much he is going to make from their operation, but Dunkirk only laughs. They land outside of a restricted area of the DAVSCO Aircraft corporation and after breaking in, start shooting the guards. Taggart gets into the HX1 helicopter and flies off. Hawke leaves a bar and is confronted by Joe, Decker and Handley who beat him up. Hawke sees Mace in the shadows and thinks it is Saint John and then collapses. Hawke sneaks into the warehouse Dunkirk is holding a meeting at. Dunkirk tells Joe, Decker and Handley, Hawke came to talk with him and Joe tells him he doesn't want to hurt Hawke, but Hawke is getting too close to their operation. Hawke points a gun at the group and Mace walks towards him with his own gun drawn. Hawke tells Mace he's been told Saint John is dead, but he doesn't believe it and asks Mace where Saint John is. Mace then accuses Hawke of leaving him to die. A flashback happens of Mace and Saint John escaping from the Vietcong. Hawke asks why he stayed "dead" and Mace tells him he wanted to make money on the cocaine trade. Hawke demands to know where Saint John is and Joe hits him in the back of the head with his pistol. Dunkirk tells Mace to kill Hawke, but after he has another flashback in which Hawke saved his life from a sniper, he can't do it. Dunkirk is hosting a demonstration of weapons to Armand. Dunkirk has Mace demonstrate the HX1. Airwolf arrives and Hawke asks Mace where Saint John is. Mace tells Hawke he knows what happened to Saint John and starts attacking Airwolf. Hawke asks Mace again to tell him, but Mace continues to attack Airwolf. Hawke eventually fires back, causing the HX1 to blow up in the sky.
