How do you survive when everything you believed about the world is turned upside down?
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War, testosterone-fueled fighter pilots take off from Udorn Air Base in Thailand on sorties over dangerous targets in North Vietnam.
Some come back, many do not.
Into this fog of war enters Capt. Angel Pilato, a starry-eyed idealist, assigned to manage the officers' club. The fighter pilots christen the officers' club "Angel's Truck Stop", which becomes the backdrop for the conflicts, challenges, and choices she encounters. It reveals a woman's struggle to fit into a man's world.
As the realities of war erode her ideals, she realizes the future doesn't hold the certainties it once did. Angel's Truck Stop is hilarious and at times, heart-wrenching.

Dan Cherry, Brig. Gen., USAF, (Ret.) "Former foes meet after 35 years."
General Dan Cherry tells of his experience as an F-4 fighter pilot who shot down a Vietnam fighter pilot in 1972 and, in a surprising turn of events, meets him decades later on a TV show in Vietnam. A true story of reconciliation and forgiveness.

Roger Locher Col. USAF (Ret) "23 Days Evading Capture"
zhlédnutí 14KPřed 2 lety
On May 10th 1972, Captain Roger Locher while flying an F-4 Phantom jet, was shot down in enemy territory. He evaded capture for 23 days before being rescued. During the Vietnam War, he holds the record of the longest time spent in enemy territory before being rescued. A compelling story of wits and bravery.

Former F-4 Phantom Weapons System's Officer recounts his time as a POW 1972 - 1973 after his aircraft crashed in North Vietnam. How he told his captors what they “wanted to hear!” All interesting tales they believed - but none of it true!

Fascinating life stories. Peace. 🕊
What an incredible story!
I just saw your video and enjoyed seeing your reunion. Thank you for posting the whole story. I was an F-4 crew chief in the "Nickel" 555TFS at Udorn RTAFB from 1971-72. My Aircraft F-4D 65-0784 was shot down after its 3rd MIG 21 kill on May 10, 1972. Pilot Major Robert Lodge was killed in the crash, and WSO Captain Roger Locher ejected, spending 23 days before being rescued. I had put the cockpit recordings of the first 2 MIG kills on my CZcams channel years ago if you are interested. The first MIG kill was on February 21, 1972, and the second was on May 8, 1972. The 3rd was on May 10, 1972, just before being shot down themselves in my aircraft. Thanks again for your video. Sgt. Joey Hill
Great presentation . USAF pilot - Vung Tau, 1968-69.
I liked your story enemy & friend you presented. I was in Udorn but still young at that time.
Great story...and great reminder that Oregon was once one of the United States...vs the LEFITST/MARXIST cesspool it is today...
Starting to see a Pattern here Angel .
Wonderful story and life lesson. I was at Udorn RTAFB Feb 72 - Mar 73 Worked on the Fire Control on F-4's on the 13 TFS and the 555 TFS and the birds from the Clark AB, PI which 550 was from.
Helluva guy! Our nation should be eternally grateful to produce such men as LCOL Marshal.
Cherry was in the 13.th TFS? I didn't know that.
