The finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier dropped on Disney+ today and featured a lot of excitement ranging from Sam Wilson's (Anthony Mackie) epic new suit to the Power Broker reveal and much more. The episode also featured the return of a fallen hero, much to the delight of fans! Warning: Spoilers Ahead! Back in the show's second episode, Sam's trusty combat and reconnaissance drone, Red Wing, did not survive a battle with the Flag Smashers. However, the Wakandans built Sam a new Captain America suit, complete with his Falcon wings, and it featured the return of an old friend. That's right... Red Wing is back!

Red Wing's return was pretty epic! In fact, the beloved drone was able to assist Sam in saving folks from a helicopter that was highjacked by one of the Flag Smashers. Many people were thrilled to see the sidekick return. You can check out some of the tweets from excited fans below:
