Ep 5. The Martin Baker Fan Club

JAG season 4 episode 5, titled "The Martin Baker Fan Club," follows the story of Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie as they investigate the crash of an F/A-18 Hornet. The pilot, Lieutenant Junior Grade James, was able to eject from the plane but his ejection seat failed, causing him to suffer serious injuries.

During the investigation, Rabb and MacKenzie discover that James had been modifying his ejection seat in an effort to join the "Martin Baker Fan Club," a group of pilots who have successfully ejected using the Martin Baker ejection seat. James' modifications violated Navy policy and ultimately led to the malfunctioning of the seat.

As they continue to gather evidence, Rabb and MacKenzie are met with resistance from higher-ups in the chain of command who are more concerned with covering up any possible wrongdoing than discovering the truth.

Meanwhile, James' wife, who is also a Navy pilot, is struggling to come to terms with her husband's injuries and the potential consequences of his actions. She turns to Rabb for support and a deeper connection begins to form between the two.

With time running out, Rabb and MacKenzie work tirelessly to uncover the truth and bring justice to those responsible for the faulty ejection seat. In the end, they are able to prove James' innocence and bring some closure to those affected by the crash.

Overall, "The Martin Baker Fan Club" is a thrilling episode that highlights the complexities of military investigations and the importance of putting the truth above personal interests.
