In season 2 episode 9 of Airwolf titled "Flight #093 Is Missing," the crew of Airwolf is called upon to help find a missing commercial airplane. The episode begins with a seemingly routine flight taking off from LAX to Honolulu. However, soon after takeoff, the plane disappears from radar and the communication with the pilots is lost.
The airline company frantically contacts the authorities who then assign a search and rescue team to find the missing plane. The team includes Airwolf's pilot, Stringfellow Hawke, and his co-pilot, Dominic Santini. They meet with the airline's vice president, Mr. Saxby, who assures them that the plane was in perfect condition and the pilots were experienced.
As they start their search mission, Hawke and Santini begin to discover some strange clues. For instance, the plane's autopilot system was disconnected mid-flight, indicating that someone tampered with it. They also find a strange device on the plane's wing that was never part of the original design.
Hawke and Santini are also suspicious of the airline company, as they uncover evidence that the plane was flying with a full tank of fuel, despite only needing half that amount for the flight to Hawaii. They suspect that the airline was using the extra fuel for some other purpose.
The duo soon discovers that the missing plane was not an accident, but a hijacking. The plane was taken by a group of terrorists who are transporting a valuable stolen artifact and were using the plane to get away undetected. Hawke and Santini must find a way to infiltrate the hijacked plane and take control before it's too late.
As they try to come up with a plan, they also have to deal with Saxby, who is more interested in protecting the airline's reputation than saving the lives of the passengers. They also have to deal with the limitations of Airwolf's weapons and technology, given that they are in an unstable situation in the air.
In the end, Hawke and Santini must use their wit and resourcefulness to take down the terrorists and successfully land the hijacked plane. They also uncover a darker conspiracy involving the airline company and the stolen artifact.
Overall, "Flight #093 Is Missing" is a thrilling episode filled with action, suspense, and unexpected twists.
