Episode Title: "In Thin Air"
Original Air Date: 10/22/2002
Harm is assigned to defend an officer responsible for plane maintenance accused of causing the death of a radio intercept officer. Meanwhile, Harriet's attempts to keep Bud resting at home have a negative effect on his rehabilitation.
Synopsis: Harm and Mac investigate an apparent mechanical failure while a pilot dies on a training run.
Writer: Don McGill
Director: Harvey Laidman
Harm is ordered to defend a plane-maintenance officer (Thad Luckinbill) who he believes is guilty of making an error that caused the death of an aviator. Meanwhile, Harriet unintentionally impedes Bud's rehab when she insists he rest at home. Lt. Sam Albrecht: Scott Paetty. Jeannine Zuzello: Wendy Benson-Landes. Mac: Catherine Bell.
The character Bud lost his leg. The actor, Patrick Labyorteaux did not. Any scenes that show him legless are good filmmaking / special effects.
