Oct 30, 1991, this is the story of the real Mission of the NY AIr Guard Rescue Team that went out into the storm, later immortalized in the book and movie, The Perfect Storm. Dave Ruvola, prior PJ and aircraft commander on the mission recounts the story of the rescue attempt, ditching the helo, the ocean survival scenario, and the tragic loss of PJ Rick Smith who we remember and honor. This is a dramatic and riveting real world story of professionalism, excellence and leadership.
THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE
In memory of Rick Smith.
