Chopper 2004, I think all those who became aware of the wartime rescues performed by the original Jollies and their A1 escorts will cheer on the designation Jolly Green.
You know, a lot of folks have a frame of reference re pilot rescues during the Korean War created by the Bridges of Toko-Ri movie. But the fact is that the USAF also flew Sikorsky S-51s doing rescues and one of those pilots, Cliff Brown, joined the test pilot office at Sikorsky afterwards. He did perform a rescue which had some humorous aspects, such that one day after the Vietnam war was winding down, we were visited by some of the Son Tay rescue raid pilots and they came looking to meet Cliff as his rescue from Korea had created some celebrated notoriety. Will send separately.
