Vietnam Air Rescues, Part 1, Jolly Green CSAR Tactics.wmv

Hi, this is Dave Richardson, the guy who did the video. This video was a long time in coming. In 1967-1968, I was a "Jolly Green" helicopter rescue pilot, flying missions out of NKP in Thailand. During my tour, I performed 7 rescues, saving the lives of 9 men. On two of these rescues, #3 and #6, I had a combat cameraman on board who shot short film clips of each rescue. Over the years, my eldest son, David, has repeatedly urged me to add narration to the clips. I finally got around to it and decided to do a 3 video series. This one, the first, has as its focus, the overall Jolly Green mission. Number two, with rescue footage, tells the story of the rescue of Candlestick 01, while number three, with more rescue footage, tells the story of the rescue of Sandy 05. My book, Vietnam Air Rescues, has received favorable attention.
