    Roger Locher (F-4 RIO) interview after his eject/escape from North Vietnam.

    Make the time. Two part interview spanning about 90 minutes. Very interesting and informative.

    Takes "embrace the suck" to a whole new level. Sadly, the last couple of minutes is missing from the second tape that details the actual rescue. The guy spent 21+ days E&E in North Vietnam.

    Very cool! There were certainly some interesting takeaways from those tapes. I liked the parts where he talked about subduing yourself, taking off the rank, the shiny watches, and no white socks. I also liked the bit about the air gun, he said there were always animals around but he didn't want to shoot them because it'd give away his position.

    I found this video on YouTube that talks a little about his rescue, it gives us some insight beyond the cut off point on the recording.
