Season 1

Pilot

  • In the premiere episode, the Admiral must contend with present and future problems relating to the incursion of a Navy aerial exercise by a Cuban aircraft and the subsequent mid-air collision that sends Lt. Simon Adams and the Cuban flyer into the drink. He also has an encounter with his old friend and sometimes adversary, Harlan Adams, while seeking a thousand acres from the City Council for an additional base runway. Adams controls the Council and is opposed to giving up the land. The Admiral then becomes involved in a serious off-the-base problem when Lt. Glenn Matthews is arrested on suspicion of murder. The death of the victim, a young man named Jeremy, vitally involves not only Matthews but his finacee, Hilary Adams, and the Admiral's daughter, Kay, as well.
