Farewell Bob Pardo, Hero of ‘Pardo’s Push’ in Vietnam War

4달 전 제출됨

Remembering Pardo's Push: On March 10, 1967, faced with a critical situation, Captain Pardo executed an unprecedented and daring maneuver known as "Pardo's Push". When his wingman's plane was severely damaged, Pardo used his own jet to physically push the stricken aircraft, ensuring both reached safety. This act of bravery and skill exemplifies the spirit of teamwork and determination. (avgeekery.com) 기타...

I knew Bob back in the eighties when he was still flying for Coors. He and my dad (F-4 FP) were friends from the Air Force and Vietnam. I have his “Pardo Push” signed by Bob proudly displayed in my bar. One hell of a guy! RIP Bob. Check six.

His "Backseater" is my wife's cousin Colonel Steve Wayne. Col. Wayne's Vietnam plane is proudly displayed in front of the American Legion post in his home town of Fairmount Indiana.

The physics behind it are leaning towards “this shouldn’t work” but the reality is it did work. When his wingman’s life was at stake there wasn’t time to think about the physics.

RIP sir, it takes a rare person to even think of such an idea, let alone execute it. This is the kind of innovation and problem solving we should all be inspired by.

I salute you sir. What an amazing story. I became aware of it while visiting the Tugboat bar in Steamboat Springs, CO. A true story of courage and selfless dedication to your fellow warriors. Quick thinking and grace under pressure. What an amazing man.

I've always found it interesting that there were so many distinguished fighter pilots in the 60's and 70's that hailed from Texas.

I just saw Bob recently at The River Rat Reunion in Bowling Green. There is a beautiful new model of his "Push" in the museum. His backseater Steve was a pilot training classmate of mine. I flew F-4's at DaNang and for the rest of my AF career. Rest in Peace.
