* AwesomeButImpractical: The workers at the relay tower get quite a stunning view from their control room on a clear day. But why it has to be at the top of the tower rather than in a shed at the bottom is unclear.

* CoolButInefficient: The workers at the relay tower must get a stunning view from their control room on a clear day. But what practical advantages there are to having it at the top of the tower rather than in a shed at the bottom is neither obvious nor explained.

The Hood is hired by the corrupt General Bron to sabotage the test of the new "Red Arrow" fighter. He does so by means of a overriding homing beacon that pulls the plane off course. It crashes, killing the pilot. Tim Casey, the head of the ''Red Arrow'' tests, is dismissed in disgrace and goes to visit his old friend Jeff Tracy on his private island.

While he's there, the Hood strikes again, sabotaging the second test (although the pilot is able to bail out). This time however, the Red Arrow has hit a television control tower, trapping two men hundreds of feet off the ground. With time running out and a civilian on the island, International Rescue have to choose between their cover and innocent lives!

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Tin Tin's SnipeHunt involves looking for the fictional "water mamba", allegedly a rare mammal. In reality, a mamba is a highly venomous snake.
** Possibly InUniverse. It’s blatantly clear that Tin-Tin is making up the existence of the Water Mamba.

* ComingInHot: The technicians are warned of the out-of-control Red Arrow being about to hit their tower, but unfortunately the lift does not make it to their control room in time.
* CoolPlane: Red Arrow.
* CripplingTheCompetition: A variation. General Bron wants to destroy the Red Arrow because he has his own high-tech jet fighter which is ''almost'' as good, and the Red Arrow is the only plane that can challenge it.
