info on a seawolf DET GUNNER NAMED BOB OGRADY

[Bill Rutledge]

  I WAS CONTACTED ABOUT Bob Ogrady with the info that Bob was a bitter guy about his experiences. He got shot down on a river over. By Cambodia and spent about 24 hours holed up before being rescued. They'd been told not to fly down one side of the river but his pilot decided they would anyway. Got popped and had to set it down in the river. I think that was in 72. Bob got out in early 74 and headed north.                                                                                                                                                I dont know of a bird shot down in a river by cambodia in 72 and the gunner left there for 24 hours before being rescued

Det 5, don't remember the exact date (may have been 11/18/71). They were shot down and as I recall they were not on the ground 24 hours, more like the time it takes to organize and get them out. An Army outfit rescued them. Picture of their return can be seen using Seawolf main page, DET 5, 6th row, second from left, between 'the monk' and local swimming between hutches. Hope I got it right, long time ago, CRS may be in effect!
