This is a true story about the same aircraft that my father flew in when we lived in Adak, Alaska. My father's good friend Master Chief Garland Shepard was on that flight and survived thanks to the coordinated efforts of a russian fishing trawler and U.S. aircraft.

I was an AW2 stationed at TSC SIGONELLA at this time. I remember the classified message coming into our radio room (no email back then) about this incident.
