Farewell Bob Pardo, Hero of ‘Pardo’s Push’ in Vietnam War
Remembering Pardo's Push: On March 10, 1967, faced with a critical situation, Captain Pardo executed an unprecedented and daring maneuver known as "Pardo's Push". When his wingman's plane was severely damaged, Pardo used his own jet to physically push the stricken aircraft, ensuring both reached safety. This act of bravery and skill exemplifies the spirit of teamwork and determination. (avgeekery.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As a former F4 pilot in Vietnam this story was legionary. Just goes to show you what grit and determination can get you. God speed Bob ....
What a guy! RIP
I knew Bob back in the eighties when he was still flying for Coors. He and my dad (F-4 FP) were friends from the Air Force and Vietnam. I have his “Pardo Push” signed by Bob proudly displayed in my bar. One hell of a guy! RIP Bob. Check six.
His "Backseater" is my wife's cousin Colonel Steve Wayne. Col. Wayne's Vietnam plane is proudly displayed in front of the American Legion post in his home town of Fairmount Indiana.
These are the courageous stories we love to hear! You are in the clouds now,RIP
AHA! So that's what a Hero is!!
