ing the skies for the missile his flashing
indicators warn is screaming toward him.
The missile’s impact jars him forward.
After trying the jet’s unresponsive controls,
he pulls the ejection handles and para-
chutes to relative safety, where he turns to
the training he received in Survival,
Evasion, Resistance, Escape (SERE)
school.

room determined to save the downed pilot.
They coordinate air-to-air cover and air-to-
ground protection for the rescue helicopter
crews who will authenticate the pilot’s
identity and pick him up.
