6. T.C.'s chopper was forever being shot at while helping Thomas on his cases. During one episode, the chopper lost the battle of the bullet, and sank in the cove very near T.C.'s landing pad, and a new chopper had to be registered later in the series. What was the ORIGINAL chopper's registration number

Answer: N1095-A

7. Commander Thomas Magnum, as he was better known in his military days, worked for which branch of the navy?

Answer: N(aval). I(ntellegence). A(gency).

Thomas worked as a counter insurgence specialist, and has specialty training as a locksmith. There is also one episode in which Thomas, back in uniform, is wearing the insignia of the 'Navy Seals'-the first commercial navy seal before it became a hollywood fad!
8. Johnathan Quayle Higgins, Robin Masters' 'major-domo' at the Hawaiian estate, was also ex-military. What was his Regiment?

Answer: Queen's own Yorkshire Regiment

He was a Sargeant-Major, who was once engaged to royalty, and met a duchess while changing a tire!
9. Rick Wright, was a weapons specialist in Thomas' unit in Vietnam, he would later go on to manage the exclusive 'King Kamehameha' club, but Rick wasn't his real name! What was his real name?

Answer: Orville

A warrant for Orville's arrest was once issued for illegal weapons possession. The warrant, however was issued for the arrest of RICK Wright, Not Orville, so the arrest was invalidated, and the charges dropped.
10. Finally, an easy one: On more than on occasion, Thomas had to flee into his home, chased (under Higgins orders) by the same two loyal, but grudge-holding dobermans, who guarded it! What were their names?

Answer: Zeus and Apollo

In one episode, Higgins, and Magnum underwent a major, and comical role reversal. The 'Lads' (as they were affectionately dubbed), much to Higgins' surprise, responded only to Magnum's commands. The 'Lads' were much easier on Magnum for the rest of the series.
