I don't see a problem modifying a Bell 430 in place of the Bell 222 for Airwolf. It's a modern helicpter with the right look. Part of the purpose of Airwolf, and what made it so deadly in the spy game, is that it could blend in with civilian helicopters. Sure, it looked a little different, but it had no outward appearance of being a killing machine. It would have been perfect to use a pair of Airwolfs to escort Airforce One, or even to act as Airforce One in an emergancy, which was part of it's marketability to the F.I.R.M. That's just one example.
