This link is to a folder containing the 90-minute pilot episode and the flac rip of the 2-CD Airwolf Themes, a fan-made soundtrack that tries to reproduce the show's music with varying degrees of success.

Snippet of the Blu-ray.com review:

The series' double-length pilot episode ranks amongst the best Airwolf has to offer. It accomplishes every necessary goal: it establishes its world's background and lore; shows off its technology by making it an integral story propellant; and rather deeply explores its main characters and tests their physical and, more importantly, emotional limits. It's a solid all-around bit of storytelling. Beyond the opening minutes, little in the pilot episode is really about the title helicopter. The show revolves round Stringfellow Hawke. It's entirely his narrative arc, telling his story and placing the pieces necessary to build up the emotional resonance needed for both the episode's climax -- again one of the best the series has to offer, thematically and structurally alike -- and to better solidify the character's arc. Airwolf participates in the climax and plays an integral part in it, but it's not at all the centerpiece. That's a quality that would gradually diminish over the seasons, as raw action would supersede more honest and interesting character growth that would, early, play more parallel to Airwolf and her various missions. The pilot's action finale all but eliminates sound effects as Hawke tracks his target in Airwolf. Theme music captures a soaring, but at the same time, sentimental spirit and visuals do much of the talking. When Hawke engages his target prey, music cuts out and raw sound effects step in, again underscoring the scene's emotional resonance and the character's arc that comes full circle in the episode and helps better shape the backstory and driving forces for later episodes.
