• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

SOH-CM-2025
Air Force pilot Roger Locher was shot down over North Vietnam in 1972 and managed to evade capture for 22 days before finally making contact with other Air Force pilots. Brigadier General Steve Ritchie tells this amazing story of the rescue of Roger Locher and ties it into a wonderful message about business, communication, and teamwork. Brig. Gen. Ritchie was the only U.S. Air Force Pilot Ace of the Vietnam War. He shot down two MIGs in one encounter and flew 339 combat missions totaling more than 800 flying hours. Ritchie was also one of the most highly decorated pilots of the war, having received the Air Force Cross, four Silver Stars, 10 Distinguished Flying Crosses and 25 Air Medals.
