An enjoyable romp in the desert: not to be taken seriously
hindsonevansmike25 February 2021
An enjoyable 45-minute buddy movie episode.

Harm's old buddy (Jack Keeter from the season one episode "Smoked") lands himself in more hot water, this time dumping an F117 "Stealth" plane onto a dry lake bed "somewhere in Iran" (this guy, seriously, is either the CIA's worst pilot ever or should never bother buying lottery tickets with his luck!).

Mick Brumby does the right thing, building a working relationship with Harm (and hoping to build a closer relationship with "Sarah" - who just wants a 'working relationship' with Brumby)..

The standard "misplaced trust" and double-cross tropes appear, the Bedouin look after the plane (didn't the Chief Bedouin hold a hospital at gunpoint in an earlier season?): Sarah and Keeter spend a few nights in the desert and everyone is happy.

Just ignore the border incursions and enjoy the convincing mock-up of an F117 (no tailhook for a carrier landing? No problem! Hey, this is American adventure TV from the 1990s!) as the Dynamic Duo triumph once again!
