Synopsis:
King Condor hijacks a plane using bird inspired weapons. The Blackhawks are unable to defeat him in their first encounter, so Blackhawk trains Blackie to help. When the team next encounters King Condor, Blackie is captured. Blackie then uses a radio to alert the Blackhawks to his location. King Condor sends his bird weapons against the team, but Blackie deactivates them from the control panel. The team is then able to apprehend King Condor.
