Ep 4. Flight Risk

In JAG season 6 episode 4, entitled "Flight Risk," the Navy's Judge Advocate General's office is called in to investigate a deadly helicopter crash involving four Navy officers. The incident is particularly sensitive because the pilot of the helicopter is the son of a high-ranking Navy admiral and the co-pilot is the daughter of a prominent Navy aviator.

As the JAG team delves into the circumstances surrounding the crash, they quickly realize that the case is not as straightforward as it seems. With conflicting accounts from witnesses and evidence that doesn't add up, the JAG lawyers are forced to dig deeper to uncover the truth.

The investigation leads Major Sarah MacKenzie and Lieutenant Bud Roberts to question the officers who were on board the helicopter and their respective roles in the flight. Meanwhile, Commander Harmon Rabb Jr. takes charge of the technical aspects of the investigation, examining the maintenance history of the helicopter and interviewing the mechanics who worked on it.

As the JAG team works tirelessly to uncover the truth, they encounter resistance from higher-ups who are anxious to sweep the incident under the rug. With pressure mounting to close the case quickly, the JAG lawyers must remain steadfast in their pursuit of justice and uncover the real cause of the crash.

Along the way, the team is forced to confront their own biases and prejudices, and Major MacKenzie struggles with her own personal feelings about the pilot of the helicopter, who she knows from her days at the U.S. Naval Academy.

In the end, the JAG team is able to unravel the mystery surrounding the crash and bring those responsible to justice, but not without facing difficult ethical dilemmas and personal challenges along the way.

"Flight Risk" is a compelling episode that showcases the JAG team's dedication to the truth and their unwavering commitment to justice. With its nuanced characters and complex plotlines, the season 6 episode of JAG is a must-watch for fans of legal dramas and military shows alike.
