I liked the second season, although it lacked the whole "cold war" aspect which was sad, it became more of a domestic problem solver, most of which was based in the U.S.  Series two does however bring a few classic episodes back into our hands such as "Moffetts Ghost", "Sweet Britches", "HX-1", "and "Severance Pay"  yes i liked that episode, it kinda brought us into the firm and where the people in white got all their Intel.  I also liked Inn at the End of the Road...
(that was the one with the "Lokie" device and doc gifford flying airwolf)
I always though they only brought him in to kinda slap J.M.V into touch... that whole "listen buddy.. your replaceable.. so get it together" But that's just my thoughts on that scenario and not an official thing.

Random Note:
Such a shame the companies don't bother with any extras or truly high-tech menus that the likes of these dvd creation programs can export. This set doesn't even have chapter selection, only episode choice.  All 6 Discs feature the same 52 second animation while irrelevant numbers scroll across the screen. The Music playing is just the airwolf opening theme music. The animated menu on all 6 discs is the same clips.

Warning Before Buying:
There is two different variations of this region 2 release (so be careful before you buy)
I found the season 2 i purchased, the box its self, the "whole" box front is glossy
where as my season 1 & 3 are a mat finish and ONLY the 3 character images & airwolf are glossy
This variation between Mat finish and Glossy finish also means the AIRWOLF down the box spine is the Wrong Way Around...  Making it look really stupid on your shelf...
See both images below...
