At one time in the days before Pearl Harbor, it had been hoped that it would be possible for the RAF to test the Thunderbolt in combat in the Middle East. However, production difficulties caused the British Air Ministry to be informed in September 1941 that it was not a good idea to do this until all the bugs had been wrung out of the design.

BOSNIA: F-16 PILOT RESCUED: Captain Scott O'Grady F-16 pilot shot down by the Bosnian Serbs on 2.6.95, was rescued, after six days living rough and in hiding. Early this morning another F-16 picked up his SOS signal from the ground, and at dawn two helicopters, accompanied by jets, were dispatched to Bosnia to rescue him, coming under fire as they did so.

When NATO pilot Scott O'Grady's F-16 jet is downed by a missile over Bosnia, he ejects successfully but lands in hostile territory, sparking a massive manhunt and a struggle for survival.  Here are the 5 parts of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC show "Situation Critical" which illustrate the Scott O'Grady story.
