I've seen that episode...good. I've also read the book ("Return With Honor") by the downed pilot, Capt. Scott O'Grady.

I served with the Marine helicopter pilot who flew that mission lead and rescue chopper (I believe there were two CH-53's and a couple of Apaches) when I was in Okinawa in the early '90's. At that time he was a Major, and had come to 3rd MarDiv from HMX-1....where he flew Marine One...the President's helicopter. William "Bill" Tarbutton is his name...good guy. So, the show was kinda extra cool to me. If you catch the entire episode, they interview Lt. Col Tarbutton.
