Hi Rapier

The name was Scott O'Grady & he did a lot of fuck-ups. It was partly his own fault he got shot down in the first place, and on the ground he wasn't too familiar with his survival equipment (fx he didn't know how to turn on the light in the GPS, which is kind of important to know since you are only moving at night)
Even though everybody treated him like a hero. Strange !!!

[Hi,

Have you ever wondered what it would be like Run if you did have to eject over unknown territory hyperthetically I mean. I suppose you need to be phisically fit but more importantly mentally fit to deal with what's happened to you. I remember that F-16 pilot who got shot down over Bosnia a few year's ago now, Scott O'Leary was it? Anyway I remember watching a documentary here about the whole thing and remember one part in the film where to get water he had to strain his rain drenched clothes. He also had to eat ant's and other insect's to keep alive. Apparently they have good nutrition and are a good source of vitamins. I remeber him saying shortly after he ejected that he could not beleive what had just happened to him on his way down in the shute.

Thanks

Rapier
