Vietnam War: Huey Helicopter's Most Dangerous Rescue Missions
The Huey helicopter is one of the most iconic aircrafts from the Vietnam war. It was crucial during medical mission, as it helped provide assistance to wounded soldiers. However, this came at a huge risk, as the Huey was one of the most dangerous aircrafts anyone could fly. The rescue missions were always a huge risk, and the chances of someone coming back unharmed were pretty slim.
Pilots Tom Barker and Jack Swicker undertook perilous rescue missions, which they now share on camera. On May 14th, 1967, Barker, Swicker, and their team embarked on a significant rescue mission, navigating through hazardous conditions and intense enemy fire to save over 100 soldiers. This is their story.

    The narrator said that a USAF Pave Hawk was low on gas, lmao. I think he meant to say fuel! The term gas is only used for four-wheelers, aka cars, lol! Everything else, from big trucks to military vehicles to boats to aircraft, the proper term is fuel, lol! You can get away with it with boats since they use a variety of different types of fuels, but everything else uses the term fuel.

    Outstanding job guys. I went in as a Security Force troop and I love the PJ’s and what they stand for. It takes a lot of grit and courage to go into a hot zone to rescue the hopefully liven and fighting to make it out but for the men who give their lives man what else can you say about the rescue crew of the USAF getting those guys home.

    God bless these ANGELS....this is harrowing to say the least...but reality always is...and WHY I BLESS YOU ALL...EVERY VET NEEDS RECOGNITION...EVERY FIGHTER WHO FIGHTS THE GOOD FIGHT NEEDS TO KNOW JUST HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE and VALIDATED in ways you may not realize! ...regardless of military "awards", YOU ARE OUR reward...YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS...(just a person here who cares deeply for you all)...I do not matter...BUT WHAT I SAY DOES! #WINGSofANGELS AND ALL BOOTS on the ground...who are in such missions! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL YOU DO and all YOU CONTINUE TO DO! Not one who is MIA or recovered is unknown...I am always saddened that casualties happen, but to agree with other comments here, NOT ONE GETS Left behind...is an attitude of honour...and risking everything for that is honourable! Again, God bless you all, I am humbled by your discipline and stamina to achieve what the rest of us see as impossible! Thank you for this video, glad I watched!

    But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Yeshua ישוע (Jesus) and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the YHVH יהוה (LORD) shall be saved.” Romans 10:8-13

    My nephew was a PJ. I often wondered why he never talked about any of his 3 tours in Afghanistan but I never pushed the issue either. After watching this I am understanding a little more why he keeps it to himself. May God bless and protect the men and women from every branch of the military that serve and keep our country safe.

    Marcus luttrell literally ran there was a drone predator flying above its on video that he ran and left his men behind but it was too embarrassing for the Navy so they can concocted a cover story and that is verified by other seals and the people who rescued even the Chris Kyle story he don't have all them kills they inflated his numbers in order to stay out there and make it look as if they was accomplishing stuff because when you're not producing you don't it's no sense to have you out there and give you good missions Jocko inflated his numbers
