Episode Summary

On their way back from Guatemala, the A-Team's plane crashes in a remote area of South Carolina and the team find themselves in a firefight with some locals who are preparing to barbecue a local government official. After running the locals off, Murdock, Face and B.A. design and build an ultralight so Howling Mad can fly the wounded man out of there. Meanwhile, the rednecks are re-grouping for another attack on the team and the unit is almost out of ammo! - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Hannibal: Uh, do you know the, uh, words to [sings] you are my sun...
Hannibal & Face: [singing] shine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey...
B.A.: Shuddup! (*1 see References & Connections)

Murdock: [echoing] Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has just turned on the no smoking, fasten your seatbelt sign for taxi and take off. Please make sure that your seat is in the upright and forward position, and that your table trays are secured in front of you. Please sit back and enjoy your flight. (*2 see References & Connections)

B.A.: Murdock crashed the plane, didn't he?
Murdock: No. No no no no no no no no. I simply relocated the aircraft with extreme prejudiced because of a total loss of thrust and lift functions!

Hannibal: Murdock, where did you get this bird?
Murdock: I clipped it off the rental plane repair line.
Hannibal: It would be ridiculous for me to assume that it had been fixed.
Murdock: Of course it wasn't fixed. They start to miss them once they've been fixed. You gotta get them before they're fixed.
Hannibal: Of course.

Face: Murdock, uh, what's gonna happen?
Murdock: Looks like we're gonna crash.
Face: No, come on, really, what's gonna happen?
Murdock: It looks like we're gonna crash, and die.

Murdock: AHHHHHHHHH! Hi ya'll. Howlin' Mad here in voice only, but this time my body's split along from my mind. So at the tone leave your name and a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as my shock therapy's over. Bye now.


Trivia/Episode Notes

When they are carrying the unconscience BA from the airplane, the Team are complaining about how heavy he is, and how he needs to lose weight. Murdock says to Face, "What are you complaining about, I got 200lbs of gold holding me down." But Murdock is holding BA's feet!, so is this a scripting error or is it just Murdock being Murdock - you decide.
