Come see how American pilot Nathan Gordon earned his Medal of Honour, & each of his 8 crew the Silver Star, in WW2 New Guinea, (Kavieng Harbour) by landing his Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina amphibious aircraft 4 times in a row, under fire, & in rough seas, to save 15 downed airmen. The story is partly told in his own words, in quotes, from a 2003 interview. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. https://youtu.be/7EmBQq41_tk?si=yHvBPQy1LhBLaoyG

Quite impressive acts of heroism. You join the armed forces to serve your country but when it comes down to it you serve your fellow soldiers. God bless them all. Thanks for this video Frank, great story.

And to you Brett!

In 2015 famous actor & aviation enthusiast, Harrison Ford, crash landed on a golf course after suffering an engine failure in his 1942 PT-22 Recruit, the military version of the Ryan ST-3KR. Come see how & why it happened. Also watch some RL footage of Ford & others flying over the Rockies. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. https://youtu.be/m6M5yMCWrbw?si=sGBVIiDLaTIKME08

I remember seeing that accident on the news but never knew the cause, thanks for filling that point in. I'm surprised the engine wasn't running rough if the jet was working its way out. Happy holidays to you and yours.
