"Pilot destroys expensive plane"
Military: anger
Government: but you get more money next year for this
Military: M E D A L
It's exactly the kind of horseshit that was so common throughout the war by the people who were in charge. There's actually a term called a "McNamara Fallacy" about prioritizing quantification over results (i.e: enemy body count numbers over completed objectives) that came from and pretty much sums up the military thinking at the time that turned it into such a bureaucratic disaster. The people in charge seriously debated putting an upper limit on ammo stores based on statistical averages while screaming at each other over the cost of combat boots rounded to the cent.

My Grandfather Ronald Jon Armstrong was a naval f4 pilot and went on huge and dangerous bombing runs, also landing on the USS America in pitch black skies. He was deployed into battle various times and served the nation for 25 years. He sadly died in 2005 from a brain bleed. Think makes me think about him and how he was an awesome pilot.
Very Slow Right Hand SALUTE. TAPS !!!
I salute your grandpa for his service. I honestly can’t think what he went through as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam conflict facing possibility of getting shot down by AAA, SAMs, or MiGs. Yet he knew he had a job to do and done it despite the risks. That’s a hero right there. I had a couple of uncles myself that served in Vietnam too.
@@mikeloghry9521 Thank you very much
@@lonniebailey4989 Thank you very much
My grandpa served on a destroyer in Vietnam, his job was to shoot down planes attacking the carrier as the destroyer was an escort.
Literally a Suicide mission, and I think Pardo's Jet need to support his balls of steel
Yes, it is Da Truth
Well its really a part of what the military does to protect their contry and brothers in arms
In dogfighting more often than not big balls just serve as concrete shoes. It's the ability to give a shit about you're fellow man more than yourself that kept these airmen alive.
They actually had more anti air batteries in the city limits of Hanoi alone than there were in Europe thought the entirety of WW2 (Germany and Italy at least)
@@b3lka_ oh I know lol I was talking about Vietnam which was 1960's. That part in top gun 2 where the guy said maverick was the only pilot to shoot down 3 planes in the past 20 years wasn't a joke
That is an incredible show of Airmanship even though it risked his own life he wouldn’t leave his friend
I wonder where his other 2 squadron mate
I which they joined till the end
Then they thought about charging him because of the plane expenses 😒
Jesus christ.
@@BariBro What expenses exactly...?
@@NobleKorhedron They wanted to charge him for not flying the f4 back home because "it costs a lot of money"
@@NobleKorhedron Each plane costs around 2.8 million dollars and war=money for top brass and white collar. Thankfully common sense prevailed.
Bruh this isn't even just "hey lemme give you a push there" it's more of "I know and trust this equipment so well im willing to place my life and that of my comrade in the hands of my technical knowledge" jeez man, I dont know how that plane flew with the amount of balls in the cockpit.
I can say a lot of bad things about my father but dude undeniably has nerves of steel man and he's only a civilian pilot for fun. Air traffic control and pilots are some of the calmest mfers when stuff goes down I swear to God. I trust a pilot more than a cop or surgeon to handle pressure
"We did it! We made it back alive!"
"Where plane?"
So true
The 4 pilots: "Hey guys, we made it alive! We did it!"

@@Baki-EGW thats not an excuse. but i will admit both need a good slap
It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. I mean, yes, the plane *is* expensive, but it is also easily replaceable. What about the costs involved for the training of a replacement pilot and RIO, had Pardo not pushed their plane to relative safety?
@@jcorbett9620 i said i wanted to slap the dude who considered it. XD

"the air around Hanoi has some of the best air defenses ever"
*Flak guns that are made to shoot down bombers and a guy with an AK aiming at the F4s*
mm, such great defenses
Ameen the AA is high tech and as you can see it did hit the planes
Cruise missiles weren't the best this era anyway
SA-2s would force aircraft down to the deck where flak and small arms were so saturated they could easily fill the sky and still be very small and difficult to find and target, and with their being so many of them they were quite formidable for anything flying low
During the Vietnam War, thousands of U.S. aircraft were lost to antiaircraft artillery (AAA), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and fighter interceptors (MiG)s. The great majority of U.S. combat losses in all areas of Southeast Asia were to AAA. The Royal Australian Air Force also flew combat and airlift missions in South Vietnam, as did the Republic of Vietnam. Among fixed-wing aircraft, more F-4 Phantoms were lost than any other type in service with any nation.
The United States lost 578 UAVs (554 over Vietnam and 24 over China).
There were about 11,835 U.S helicopters that served in the Vietnam War. The U.S records showing 5,607 helicopter losses
In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft, helicopters and UAVs (3,744 planes, 5,607 helicopters and 578 UAVs).

@@joe6487 yea not in efficiency but numbers
Flak guns never really went away. They just became smaller, faster and automated, and go by the name CIWS.
Great job men. My father was in Naval aviation. I built a model of a F4 phantom in about 1970 and my dad said that plane weighs over 80,000 pounds dry and it’s proof that you can make a brick fly if you put a big enough engine on it. I grew up thinking that the Phantom was a flying brick that was so cool. It was incredibly designed McDonnell Douglas did a great job. When my father retired McDonald Douglas offered him a job but he refused. He wanted to spend time with his family but that didn’t work out.
This might be my favorite video on the channel yet, the animation makes it look really good and the narration makes it even better
Thank you!
What i love about yarnhub is the animation was updated every one video being release :D
I see the animation has gotten better, especially the face detail
Imagine you are riding a car and suddenly you see someone injured from an accident and you decide to help and take him to the hospital
And after they have recovered they put the blame on you
Man it will be so stupid thing
Pardo also suffered from the same thing but thankfully his actions got recognition
What if I told you that actually happened in China?
Real depressing story.
now, imagine if you are driving a car that isnt your own, lend to you for your service, with the same applying to the other Car
The Car is not easly replaced and will likely take a year or more to be replaced if at all.
Now imagine the car is something you need a lot of training driving, and you bringing the other person to the hospital had the potential of killing you.....
from a military perspective, this was the right thing, to consider charging them, the military dosnt need heros, it needs people who carry out orders(as long as they are legaly valid)
Moraly the pilot was right, tacticaly this could very well have cost more lives down the line do to unavailable air support later.
The pilot basicly changed a "1 plane and crew safely returning with 1 plane and crew crashing, and possibly dying or being captured" scenario to "2 planes certainly lost, with no guarantee of any of the pilots surviving either" scenario
Hey yarnhub you’re videos are literally the best. My Grandpas brother went into the Vietnam war and he was a tank commander when a guerrilla with an RPG hit him right next to the tank and his name is on the Vietnam Memorial His name is Tommy Aragon
3:20 and that kids is how new planes are made....

@@tmwarthunder1016 Yarnhub is one of my fav Historical channel, so yeah, and thank you uwu
Yarnhub so far is the best animation-history channel, together with simple history
They're better than Simple History. At least Yarnhub spurs real effort into their animations and uses their visuals to tell a story, while Simple History recycles a lot if the same animations without much effort to use them to tell a story. Yarnhub's animation and style has truly progressed over the past few years, while Simple History's animation has stagnated at the same level of lazy, uninspired style they pretty much always had. Yarnhub also doesn't do sponsorship ads, and Simple History will release a 5 minute video with over a minute's worth of sponsor ad. Simple History does have a lot of interesting topics though, and they do tell some stories well.
Channels like Military History Visualised that do more than just basic research I find are better
Talk about no man left behind. Great story and heroism
Something that I’ve noticed in a lot of yarn hub videos is that usually the children of the hero’s watch em and I think that’s pretty cool
Last time I was this early only advisors are the only ones being sent to Vietnam
Very nice. You could say the same as last time I was this late only advisors are the only us personnel in Vietnam.
nice
Man these animations are smooth well done yarnhub
*Most probably the best wingman, a good friend, one can have.*

Edit: all of it looks good another good one is a the blinking/faces
Another underrated animation! This channel is one of those channels in which its worth the wait just to watch 6 minutes of videos!
Funny story, my uncle actually knows the guy who pushed his friend with his jet and he settled in the San Jose area, and he donated a fishing boat to the veterans association and they take veterans fishing in Monterey bay for free. Another funny story is as they were taking the boat back to moss landing near Monterey in CA it lost power in high seas and they thought they would lose it, but they got it to moss landing safely somehow.
this is a true victory for aviation history damn one of my favorite stories
Damn man a plane pushing a plane lane using its wire hook, that’s some cool shit

The animator should be given a raise, the animation is a massssssive jump from your older video
During the Korean War, Robert Reisner, an Air Force flyer in an f-86, did a similar trick in an attempt to save his wingman. He pushed his wingman's jet out to sea, but sadly, the wingman drown after ejecting.
Yes it is so sad he got tangled in his parachute

Can’t believe that yarnhub went from 2d animation to high quality 3D
I got to meet Bob Pardo at a River Rats reunion a number of years ago. All those pilots really knew how to have fun.
This group has went from normal 2D animations to amazing and detailed 3D models. Great work!
(Yarnhub posts a video)
Me: This is the happiest day of my life.😊
The animations of humans are incredibly better than the older ones!
I’m surprised that plane was even able to take off with the sheer amount of balls the pilot had
I'm so glad this happened. My uncle was in the back seat of the lead plane. He probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the push. I remember hearing that story back when I was 5 or so years old at grandma's house. The first of many times. He told me that after using the windshield, Pardo figured out how to push it with one the metal protrusions on the nose of the fighter. My uncle Bob also sustained permanent back injuries from the ejection seat.
He’s not the only pilot to used his plane to maneuver another plane to stay in the air
During the Korean war in 1952, James Robinson Risner was on an escort mission to escort F-84 thunderjets on a bombing run in China near the Yalu river
After the mission was completed, they made their way home. On the return flight, Risner's wingman, 1st Lt. Joseph Logan, was struck in his fuel tanks by anti-aircraft fire over Antung. In an effort to help him reach Kimpo, Risner attempted to push Logan's aircraft by having him shut down his engine and inserting the nose of his own jet into the tailpipe of Logan's, an unprecedented and untried maneuver. The object of the maneuver was to push Logan's aircraft to the island of Cho Do off the North Korean coast, where the Air Force maintained a helicopter rescue detachment. Jet fuel and hydraulic fluid spewed out from the damaged Sabre onto Risner's canopy, obscuring his vision, and turbulence kept separating the two jets. Risner was able to re-establish contact and guide the powerless plane out over the sea until fluids threatened to stall his own engine. Near Cho Do, Logan bailed out after calling to Risner, "I'll see you at the base tonight." Although Logan came down close to shore and was a strong swimmer, he became entangled in his parachute shrouds and drowned. Risner shut down his own engine in an attempt to save fuel, but eventually his engine flamed out and he glided to a deadstick landing at Kimpo.
The maneuver made by Pardo during the Vietnam war is known as Pardo’s push
The history channel series, dogfights, later depicted this aviation maneuver in the episode MIG alley used by Risner
Yesss! I just watched this episode yesterday!
Well, it's more possible with the saber as the nose was more solid compared to the f4s, being which it housed a radar and the metal is pretty thin
"Fuel is low, we won't make it!"
*Boop the snoot it it then*
I was 8 years old that year and my uncle Jack flew a F4 in the war, very intelligent guy, I was in awe, he'd show me photos of himself in his flight suit next to his phantom preflight, very proud of him and all who served and those who serve now, thank you, because of you all I have freedoms and am blessed.🙏🇺🇸

Captain Earl Aman was my mother’s baby brother. Uncle Earl was always my hero. He served his tour then was instructing pilots. The Air Force needed some pilots but he told them his trainees were not ready, so he volunteered to go in their place. It was his 66th mission on his second tour. All four men were great Americans. I have a large print hanging on my wall depicting the push. It is signed by both Pardo and Aman.
