Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
During a routine air patrol, a Navy Tomcat has a catastrophic engine failure which destroys the fighter. The pilot and the RIO are able to eject in time. However, when a passing Hind helicopter make strafing run on the parachuting pair, the fighter’s wingman shoots down the helicopter. The Wingman is also the carrier’s Commander of the Air Group (the CAG). Cmdr. Rabb and Lt. Austin must investigate whether the shoot down was justified. They soon feel the pressure to charge the CAG for the shoot down, and force him from the Navy. The CAG doesn’t make their job any easier, either.
