She made her small screen debut in 1984
on the TV series Riptide.
The TV
action series created by Stephen J. Cannell and Frank
Lupo, this is about two Vietnam buddies who become
private investigators. The show co-starred Joe Penny as
Nick, the pilot of "Screaming Mimi," and old Sikorsky
S-58T helicopter. Painted pink with a garish mouth on
front, it was shabby, unreliable US Army surplus. She
was depicted in the series as being low-tech and
unreliable as heap compared to Airwolf and Blue Thunder. In
contrast she was actually a more advanced model that had
been converted to a Gas Turbine Powerplant as apposed to the
internal combustion rotary engine. The series ran for
three seasons from 1984-1986. Today she is alive and
well fighting wildfires and serving the utility
industry.
