Ep 9. The Ghost Pilot

The episode begins with a major air show in Megakat City, where the infamous Red Lynx displays his aerial skills in his advanced jet. The crowd witnesses a sudden explosion, leading to the crash of Red Lynx's jet. But the strange part is, despite the crash, nobody can find the body of Red Lynx. The Swat Kats suspect something fishy, and their doubts are confirmed when they are later attacked by a mysterious red jet that can phase in and out of reality.

The Swat Kats decide to investigate and try to locate the source of the red jet's technology. They check all their leads but come up empty-handed, until Razor raises an interesting point: they have never checked the city's database to see if any ghost pilots have died in aviation accidents. They quickly access the database and get the list of all pilots who have gone missing or died mysteriously. They zero in on a deceased pilot named Red Thompson, who was a test pilot for advanced stealth technology. He disappeared after going rogue and stealing the technology and was presumed dead after a crash.

The Swat Kats suspect that Red Thompson is still alive and is now using the advanced technology to turn invisible and wreak havoc in the city. They decide to lure him out by staging another air show, where they hope to trap him in the open. Meanwhile, the city's defense system picks up strange activity and sends out a missile to neutralize the threat. However, the missile locks onto the Swat Kats' jet, mistaking them for the enemy. The Swat Kats must use all their skills to dodge the missile and take out the red jet before it's too late.

The air show is underway, and the Swat Kats spot the red jet. They pursue it, but their weapons have no effect on the stealth technology. Red Thompson's jet reappears, showing a weakness to the microwave field. T-Bone manages to aim the Turbokat's microwave cannon and fires.

The energy waves hit Red Thompson's ship, rendering it visible and easy to attack. The Swat Kats shoot down the jet, and it crashes spectacularly, ending the chase. They confirm that Red Thompson was indeed the Ghost Pilot, and they retrieve his technology to avoid any further misuse.

In conclusion, The Ghost Pilot is an exciting episode that showcases the Swat Kats' skills and resourcefulness in dealing with high-tech threats. The episode also introduces a unique and thrilling adversary in Red Thompson, who challenges the Swat Kats with his advanced technology and elusive tactics. Overall, this is a must-watch episode for fans of the Swat Kats and anyone who loves action-packed cartoons.
