This search-and-rescue database record documents the January 1970 rescue of a crewman from a USAF 'Blind Bat' C-130 flareship who fell from the aircraft during a night illumination mission over Laos. The 37th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron, flying an HH-3E helicopter, recovered the survivor the following day - one of thousands of documented rescue efforts along the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War.
