Captain Bob Pardo and the three other pilots became immediate heroes to all airmen on base. They will forever be a part of Air Force folklore.

I am feeling really emotional - in 1968 I accompanied my husband, Flight Lieutenant Mike Wilson RAF, on an exchange posting to the Canadian Air Force in Winnipeg. The USAF exchange officer was Earl Aman and we all became good friends - Mike and I and Nicholas, our son, Earl, Lucy, Aspen and Davy. We had such fun together and we heard the story of Earl's amazing exploits in Vietnam. It was typical of Earl that he told the stories so modestly that we just accepted them without any great wonder. Earl and Lucy left Winnipeg before us and we had a wonderful holiday with them in Valdosta, Georgia before we too were posted back to the UK. We had a visit from Lucy and the children ( by now Philip was born) when they were on their way to join Earl in Turkey. Then we lost touch, as one so often does in the military. I tried to find them after my husband died but with no success. Now I find it is too late to see again the amazing man called Earl. His story is both moving and inspiring and I am so proud to have known him as a friend. I wonder if there is any way I could contact Lucy. If anyone knows if this is possible I would be so grateful.

I am writing a paper on it for my college history class. I am hoping that I will be able to personally interview him about it. Its a truly amazing story.

Because of his bravery and willingness to try anything to save his fellow pilots, my husband was able to grow up with a father. Thank you.

It is not something one know's he has, or does not, until tested. I flew the Phantom too, out of Danang. When word of "Pardo's Push" got around, I was stunned, amazed and a little incredulous. I wonder to this day whether, under the same circumstances, I would have performed with the exceptional bravery as these men. I do not know - I will never know. I can only stand in awe.
