Skyraider pilots Reeves and Ford race to their aircraft on a scramble call, a flight-line crewman signals a pilot before launch near Nha Trang, and a declassified report recounts a combat rescue near Kham Duc. The 3 December 1968 narrative follows "Spad 11" and "Spad 12" suppressing and marking the crash site of a downed OV-1 Mohawk while two HH-3E "Jolly Green" helicopters dropped into a jungle ravine to hoist both survivors out.
