Flight 2
More actions
Flight 2 is the Boeing 747-100[1] civilian passenger aircraft Troy and Dillon first ride in on October 31,1980 CE.
Unable to use their Vipers due to heightened air security following the detection of an unknown craft falling from orbit the night of October 30th, Jamie Hamilton books a 9 AM flight for Troy and Dillon (under the alias of Smith and Jones, respectively) from Los Angeles International Airport.
The flight is eventful, as two Cuban terrorists hold a stewardess hostage in an attempt to hijack the plane and divert it to Cuba; Troy and Dillon stop this by quickly stunning the hijackers with their laser derringers, unfortunately witnessed by a meddlesome young boy. They are lauded as heroes by crew and passengers alike despite their pleas of ignorance, and are asked to stay behind for questioning by law enforcement. Upon landing at JFK Airport, the Warriors use their invisibility fields to disembark unseen, knocking over law enforcement and a swath of press in the process (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
