Why this must be read: "I die before I fly" is one of the most common things out of B.A.'s mouth. But why? Nowhere in A-Team canon is there a real explanation for why the team has to drug B.A. into submission to get him on a plane or helicopter. Of course, the way Murdock flies, who can blame B.A. for not wanting to fly, but it's more than that. It's the one thing that seems to really terrify a man who isn't afraid of anything.partly has offered a story that addresses that question. Starting in the present, the story finds its roots in Vietnam and a trauma that both B.A. and Murdock have tried hard to forget. B.A.'s pushed the memory so far back the only thing that exists any more is the knowledge that bad things can happen when you fly. So what happened to kickstart his fear of flying? Read the story and find out Partly's answer to that question.
"Come on, BA," Murdock whispered, "It'll be okay."
"No." BA coughed, a low, racking cough that brought bloody foam to his lips. "I ain't gonna fly."
"Damn it, BA. This not flying stuff is going to get us killed. And if anyone's mental problems are going to get us killed, it should be mine."
"Shut up, fool." BA struggled to sit up. "Ain't nothin' wrong with me."
"Just lay still." Murdock pushed him back down, suddenly angry. "If you would just talk to someone about it, you could get over this. Trust me, I know all about dealing with demons. If you would just talk about what happened--"
"Nothing happened!" BA gave up fighting and lay back down with a low moan, obviously weak from blood loss and pain. "And I ain't never gonna talk about it to no one."
Murdock bit back his reply. It was no use to point out how stupid that statement was. Maybe was BA was lucky. It wasn't something any sane person would want to remember.
