S4:E4 – “On A Wing And A Prayer”
ORIGINAL AIRDATE: December 5th, 1988 —
MacGyver hitches a ride with Jack to rescue Pete from some Central American revolutionaries
MISSION: When Pete’s solo mission gets him captured, it is up to Mac and Jack (posing as weapons dealers) to smuggle Pete and a nun out of a revolutionary camp.
This week’s highlights include:
GBU-44/B Viper Strike (Weapon)
The GBU-44/B Viper Strike glide bomb is a GPS-aided laser-guided variant of the Northrop Grumman Brilliant Anti-Tank (BAT) munition which originally had a combination acoustic and infrared homing seeker. The system was initially intended for use from UAVs, and it has also been integrated with the Lockheed AC-130 gunship, giving that aircraft a precision stand-off capability. The Viper Strike is now produced by MBDA.
