 * "The One That Got Away". Harm and his Guy in Back, having just avoided being hit by a North Korean SA-2 during a Mach 6 overflight of the DPRK when their starboard engine failed, head back for another run. Having gained the intel they need, they speed away with missiles exploding behind him.
 * Harriet slugs Lt. Singer after one too many attempts by the latter to further her own career at the expense of Harm, Mac or Bud.
 * In one episode, with no visible backup, Webb arrogantly strides into the office of a foreign intelligence chief to tell him that he knew things about him that his bosses would be unhappy about.
 * In one episode, Bud's brother Mikey beats up a bully in a bar for disrespecting a female visitor.
 * I forget the name of the episode but at one point Harm and another pilot are flying Tomcats. The other pilot doesn't have the fuel to get to "feet wet" (basically get over the water. So Harm has the guy drop his tailhook and Harm proceeds to PUSH HIM...in a TOMCAT. Even better is that this episode was based on something that REALLY HAPPENED.
 * The episode was "True Callings", and at the end Harm's squadron tells him his handle isn't "Pappy" (Harm was the oldest pilot in the air wing) anymore. Instead, they give him his father's handle of "Hammer". Cue Manly Tears.
 * Here's the information the show gave the viewers Real Life incident: "On March 10th, 1967, U.S. Air Force Captain Robert Pardo used his F-4 Phantom to push a fellow American's badly damaged jet from North Vietnam into friendly territory."
 * "Enemy Below" has the bad guys launch a radioactive "dirty missile" at the Seahawk carrier group. Harm and another pilot go up to try to shoot it down before it reaches the ship. When neither gets a clean shot, Harm puts his plane in front of the missile and lets it chase him until it runs out of fuel.
 * Harm and Bud are prosecuting a senior enlisted man for murdering a sailor under his command. They believe the NCO killed the sailor because he was incompetent. In order to prove it Bud pretends to be a bumbling lawyer to goad the man into a confession. When it works, Bud drops the act and gives him a "gotcha" smile.
 * To a certain extent, the moment when Bud stops his abusive father's fist and tells him that he never wants to see his father again. This was very followed immediately by a Moment of Heartwarming, as Bud told his brother that he'll always be welcome in Bud's life. Also, in the same episode, Bud winning his very first case without having Mac or Rabb present. This too, was followed by a moment of Heartwarming, when Bud changed the jugdment for the soldier, who desserted from the dishes, to "homesending with no further punishment".
 * In his last case against Rabb, Bud was able to piece together the facts to prove Rabb's client was guilty of murder, destroying the arrogant Lt. Vukovic, the new comer at the end of the series, with a well documented point-by-point speech using evidence Rabb and Vukovic discovered against them.
