A good friend (I was the OG while he was the MA in the early 2000s) was a B-52 copilot during Linebacker. Badly hit, the AC was hit in the chest. Charlie tried to help the old Major AC, but with crew gone, the AC looked at him and pointed up. EJECT, save yourself was the unspoken message. Charlie left, held POW for a couple of months before Op Homecoming. Charlie was, I think, the last serving POW when he retired in 2003.
