As a civilian of pilot since 1977 - I had not heard of this heroic deed....absolutely amazing the finesse needed to handle this maneuveur. He's clearly a true American legend! And about General Olds - met him and Chuck Yeager about 15 years ago at an airshow in Northest Georgia - both rock-solid American heros.

I had the pleasure of hearing this from Bob Pardo himself at the River-Rats Reunion in Bowling Green, Ky. I am the son of US Fighter Pilot Dick Wendell and growing up on military bases surrounded by Pilots all my life.... Going to HS in eastern NC ... One of my classmates was the daughter of Chuck Horner, Chuck is responsible for Bob being recognized with his silver star... I shared this with Bob, his comment .... I'll be damned, small world. I learned more about Bob Pardo that day and his actions to help a comrade after service to our nation is now known as the Air Warrior Courage Foundation. - Salute !

I was Honored to meet Bob Pardo last week, he is a legend forever

F4s hold a special place in my heart. My Uncle Cpt. Ramone Ortiz was flying back seat in the F4 Piloted By Dean Martin jr. That crashed in '87

General Robin Olds was a Living Legend and a Very Inspiring Aviator! Pardo should have gotten a Distinguished Flying Cross, Silver Star and a Medal Of Honor instead of a reprimand. Brass was just plain stupid!

Awesome work with the windows. Pushed alt F4, ending the mission like a boss.

Follow the leader who says "quit" or the guy who says, "follow me, we got this".
Thank God for Men who defend and protect others.

Man, great episode 👏Heard I've this one before but your story telling included heaps of fighter pilot insight. Also there should be a movie about Robin Olds. He sounds like a top notch dude🏆

[Gunfreak]

I've heard this one several times.
But there are a few other insane vietnam stories.
Like the guy who fired a sidewinder into his rockets blowing everything up in his face. And had to limp home in a badly damaged and leaking F8 and land on a carrier at night.

Or one F4 being completely of of fuel. Overshot the boom then fell behind. And the boom operator captured the F4 with the boom arresting the backwards movment of a 13 tone F4.

Or another F4 also empty with a broken refueling port cover. After some very strong words he convinced the boom operator to jam the boom into the cover several times and it worked. He did get the cover off and refuelled.

It's great to see how your changes just developed. Keep it going.

[smarternu]

Reckless behavior? Hell that's the whole job.

[sammy]

Just a testament to the robust construction of the F-4 and raw power of those 2 GE J-79s....

[donrumsey]

I just watch a similar video RE Pardo’s push. Wild!

[sgtmoose]

My uncle Bob was in the back seat of the lead plane. I am so glad Pardo figured out how to push an F4. Oh and my uncles back injuries weren't minor. He has severe back pain to this day.

Wow what a great story and you tell it so well.
