The rescue helicopter dropped a rope ladder about 20 minutes later. The rescue helicopter was itself hit, and had to place the evacuees on a hilltop in Laos while it limped home for repairs. A third helicopter picked up the medics and drew. The medics are John Padgett and John Browne, 1st and 2nd on ladder. Submitted by Doc. Padgett |
