bullet11 January 1968 -
Lt Bob Wildman/Lt(jg) Arne Bruflat/AX2 Jarvis/AXAN Wahl  rescued Lcdr D.R. Weichman of VA-164 whose A-4E Skyhawk (BuNo. 151152) was hit while on a Operation Steel Tiger covert bombing mission over Laos. Lcdr Weichman was attempting to return to his home carrier, the USS Oriskany (CVA-34) when loss of flight control forced him to eject. During the ejection sequence his leg was broken. This was the third rescue in two days for Wildman/Jarvis/Wahl while flying Logistic missions. Click here for rescue pictures.
