The story of Scott O’Grady’s 6 days on the Ground in Bosnia
On June 2, 1995, Captain Scott O’Grady’s F-16 was shot down over Bosnia during NATO Operation Deny Flight, and for six days, he evaded Serbian forces in a masterclass of survival. On June 8, Captain T.O. Hanford, nearing the limit of his fuel and defying orders to return to base, flew his F-16 deep into hostile territory and picked up a faint radio call from O’Grady that sparked one of the most daring rescue operations in modern military history.
On the 31st anniversary of this epic rescue, NDBS is honored to present a special program featuring both Scott O’Grady and T.O. Hanford in a rare joint appearance. While they have shared their perspectives individually over the years, they rarely appear together to tell the full, synchronized story of the pilot on the ground and the one in the air who refused to leave him behind. We have also invited representatives of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, who conducted the rescue operation, for an unprecedented three-way discussion of this historic event.
