- Olaf gets shot down, for either the first or second time.[1] He and Chop Chop each survive one more plane crash, Olaf's fourth,[2] and Chop Chop's second.[3] Andre also is shot down, for the first time, and survives his second plane crash.[4] Hendrickson and Chuck are aboard Andre's plane; for Hendy's first crash, and Chuck's second.[5]. And Blackhawk destroys his own Skyrocket with a pre-planted bomb. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
