The flying Airwolf helicopter was actually a Bell 222 (serial number 47085, making it the fifth to last built before the 222B was released), registration number N3176S.
After the show was cancelled the modifications were removed from the actual helicopter. It was repainted and eventually sold to the German helicopter charter company, Hubschrauber-Sonder-Dienst (aka HSD Luftrettung and Blue Helicopter Alliance), and given the registration number D-HHSD[1]. Airwolf, as a plain Bell 222 air ambulance, crashed in a thunderstorm on June 9, 1991, killing its three passengers.
BTW the MOLDS for the Fiberglass Mods are up for sale on eBay

It was a great show when it was on here in the States, but I do think if it came back you would have to have some one else to play Jan Michael Vincent's role, since he is too old and a druggie now. However, there used to be a remote controlled hobby shop near San Francisco that sold a replica Airwolf helicopter that had the capacity to lift 150 pounds that I always thought would be great to rid the neighborhood of stray dogs. You put a small Honda generator inside with about a half a million BB's hook up 6 air hoses and attach them to annihilators, which were illegal BB machine guns that fired 40,000 BB's a minute and you had the perfect helicopter for you playtoy. Unfortunately it cost about 650,000 dollars.

The 222's registration was in fact N8SC - See picture from Airwolf below

I have heard conflicting stories and have not been able to verify either. I was told the airwolf 222 flies for an EMS company in Wisconsin. However N2044C, the Santini Air Bell 206 from Airwolf is currently in Minneapolis on a Fox News contract - I am the pilot of this aircraft. It is owned by Helinet, based in Van Nuys,CA

I heard Jan Michael Vincent got drunk, took it for a joyride, and got a FUI.

Wikipedia is correct.
However, someone managed to recreate it!
