Plot Overview

The Hijacking of a Wealthy Airline Owners Plane,and the demand for Millions for the Hostages release prompts employers of the Wealthy Man to contact,and hire The A-Team.Since the Airplane's Owner cannot be found(he is somewhere on Vacation)Hannibal will impersonate the Owner.His disguise is perfect,it fooled the Hijackers who demanded the Owner in exchange for the Passengers,as well as the Money.His Disguise worked long enough to get the Hostages released,and to get the Airplane into the air.Once he is exposed,Hannibal along with Face remain as Hostages.Unknown to the Hijackers however,Murdock,and B.A. had climbed aboard the Airplane to help Hannibal,and Face subdue the Hijackers.B.A. had went into a canotanic state.He would snap out of this state long enough to help Murdock take out five of the six Hijackers.Hannibal would handle the sixth one,the leader who would foolishly fire a gun at Hannibal but miss,and would end up exiting the Airplane still wearing his parachute.Tragedy would strike Murdock who was blinded by the shot,and would have to instruct Hannibal as to how to land the Airplane.
