Note sull'episodio

Chris Baur’s resume reads like the hero character from a fictional novel. From humble and challenging roots, he set off on a career flying for the US Army, the US Coast Guard and the United States Air Force. His flight experience includes both rotor wing and fixed wing, commanding aircraft from the HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter to the C-130. Chris is the pilot from the New York Air National Guard's 106th Rescue Wing who executed an unprecedented 15-hour helicopter mission in an HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter to save the survivors of the Salvador Allende cargo ship that sank in December 1994 in the North Atlantic Ocean, during the event known as the Perfect Storm.
