===== Captain =====

[[File:Flight 2 captain.jpg|thumb|Flight 2's Captain.]]

The captain of [[Flight 2]] appears in the passenger cabin prompted by an indicator light of deployed oxygen masks. The [[Unnamed characters (1980)#1st Stewardess|stewardess]] tells him of the hijacking attempt and subsequently removes the weapon from one of the stunned hijackers. When how they became stunned comes to question, a boy tells him that [[Dillon]] and [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] stunned them, which he doesn't believe. However, he tells them to stay onboard after the plane lands at [[JFK Airport|Kennedy Airport]], since the authorities would want to question them {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.

She later credits them for being two regular heroes and lets them comb their hair before being questioned by the authorities at [[JFK Airport|JFK airport]]. It is because of this liberty that Dillon and Troy are able to escape via their [[invisibility field]]s, which she experiences when a cop pushes into her; she is left to believe that he wanted to get frisky with her {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II}}.

===== Los Angeles Police Department =====
After returning to 1980 CE, [[Xaviar]] attempts to meet up with Dr. [[Donald Mortinson]]. He accosts a street-side newspaper vendor, who informs him that taxis typically come in black and white (along with other variations) before [[Stun|stunning him]]. Believing that a nearby patrol car on a beat is a taxi, Xaviar hails it over, jumps into the back seat of the car, and instructs two beat cops to bring him to the [[United Broadcasting Company]] building where Mortinson is being interviewed live. The beat cops follow along in an attempt to ascertain more information on Xaviar's motives, bringing him to the building.

After running into Mortinson, who is making his way out of the building, the hapless beat cops attempt to intervene.

As Troy and Dillon overhear police communications of an open cop car, they encounter an old {{inlineref|NYPD cop}} who is answering a domestic disturbance. He asks them if they need anything, but they politely decline and walk away. The cop listens closer and hears a description of two suspects (Troy and Dillon) in wet clothing and proceeds to follow them. Later, he is shown by the M.C. that points them out on stage, having been unwittingly dragooned after changing their wet clothing into white suits. However, Troy and Dillon perform a [[invisibility field|disappearing act]] and they leave, brushing by the cop as they leave {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.
