Ivan: Not specifics, not even target. Just trigger.
Magnum: How many others are out there like T.C.?
Ivan: You are still a schoolboy, Thomas, using schoolboy tricks.
Magnum: [shakes his head] No tricks. Who’s next on your hit list, Begin? Thatcher? Reagan?
Ivan: I have a plane to catch. If you are going to shoot me, do it now.
[Magnum doesn’t do anything]
Ivan: You won’t. You can’t. I know you, Thomas. I had you for three months at Duc Hue. I know you better than your mother. Your sense of… honor and fair play. Oh, you could shoot me – if I was armed and coming after you. But like this – Thomas… never. Goodbye, Thomas. Do svidaniya.

In the aerial scenes at the beginning of the episode, helicopters are seen flying over a satellite communications complex on the top of a hill. It is believed that this is the Navy telecommunications station on Opana Hill on Oahu. This site is very near where an Army portable radar was deployed on the morning of December 7, 1941 when it detected a large number of aircraft approaching Oahu from the north – unfortunately, these aircraft were mistaken for a flight of B-17 bombers scheduled to arrive from the mainland that morning instead of the first wave of Japanese attackers headed for Pearl Harbor. Rick and Magnum switch sides in the helicopter while trying to reach T.C.

Reunites three members of the cast of Black Sheep Squadron (1976): series regular Larry Manetti, series semi-regular Jeff MacKay, and guest star James Whitmore Jr. William Holden is in the two films, both of which are set during World War II, that are mentioned in the episode. In “Stalag 17,” he plays Sgt. J.J. Sefton, and in “The Bridge On The River Kwai,” he plays Commander Shears. This story was inspired by The Manchurian Candidate (1962), which was set in the Korean War. The ‘rocket pods’ on the H-6 T.C. steals from the Marines wouldn’t work. Not only are the fins deployed (the fins on military rockets deploy after firing) but instead of being in pods the rockets are seemingly held together by a wire frame so if T.C. actually attempted to fire them either the whole pod would come off or they would immediately explode.
