The Flight of the Redbird In this issue, the A-Team is hired by cowboy star, Wild Jack Munroe. This
movie star somehow managed to become aware of some little countries radar-proof super secret spy plane that they just developed, the
Redbird. Having alerted the government only to be ignored Wild Jack feels it is time to take matters into his own hands and show the
U.S. government what can be done by real Americans. He hires the A-Team to steal the plane
for him, in an attempt to rub it in the government's face. Hannabal in grand fashion comes up with a master plan which gets the entire
A-Team onto the enemy base and into the plane rather easily. But now who are they gonna give this nifty little plane too, the arrogant
actor, the government, they surely can't keep it for themselves. |
