A few months later, John Clark, Alistair Stanley, Domingo Chavez, and their families were traveling on a United Airlines flight to the new Rainbow headquarters at Hereford Base, England. During the flight, several men attempted to hijack the plane but were quickly stopped by Clark, Stanley, and Chavez. Afterwards, Clark contacted Murray over the cockpit radio to brief him of the situation.
A few weeks later, Murray and his wife Liz attended a committee meeting led by John Brightling. During Brightling's speech, Murray was called by FBI agent Gorden Sinclair from the Watch Center. Sinclair briefed Murray of Rainbow's successful handling of a hostage situation in Bern Switzerland that was led by German terrorist Ernst Model. Sinclair also told Murray that they were working on identifying two of the terrorists that were killed. Murray was relieved of Rainbow's first successful deployment and told Sinclair to have Rainbow send a report of the incident before he rejoined his wife at the conference.
