Plot Overview

Trap sticks Brett with an assignment he doesn't want...flying in a traffic copter with a spirited morning radio man. The flight takes a dangerous turn when the radio host suffers a heart attack at the plane's controls, and they crash-land in a desolate canyon. Brett bonds with the man and takes it very hard when, after they're rescued, the man dies en route to the hospital.
