He had a plane named Blackwing, which got him from place to place and providing a haven to his clients during the operation. It was based on a minor DC Comics character (who got his own comic book after the series aired) and was created by the same people who produced "The Flash." In fact, a number of actors from that series (John Wesley Shipp, Mike Genovese, Richard Belzer) had guest roles in this one. "Human Target" was a production of Pet Fly Productions and a Lyttle Production in association with Warner Brothers Television, a Time Warner company. Lyttle Productions was only involved in the pilot. ABOUT THIS GUIDE: Episode titles and production numbers come from the online Library of Congress Information Service (telnet://locis.loc.gov).
