 NO-BALL!!!


No-ball law

Dances with wolves (1990), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Geronimo: An American Legend (1993).

As an aside, this episode features the RCAF 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron , which was originally stationed here in Hamilton ON, and operates today out of CFB Trenton. These SAR Techs, nicknamed "Tiger Squadron" are on 30 minute standby at all times in case of emergency situations such as the one in this episode.
