Hats off to LTC Jackson and the crew of Bookie 771. This aircrew and other A#@ and Trash haulers will never get the credits they much deserve. I found out that in all of the YAP2's missions, these missions are the hardest to complete. Unlike other missions, you can't shoot back at the bad guys.

Hope you enjoy the video. I tried to make it as dramatic as I can. I'm sure is no where near as intense as the actual mission.

I know the episode is dated, but I just watched the story on the Discovery Military Channel of Bookie 771 as told by MOH receipient LTC Jackson himself. All I can say is wow! A story that needs to be heard and I'm glad YAP retold this story. For me, if it wasn't for YAP this would be one of those story that just fade away with time. Hats of to all the Yankee Air Pirates. You all are heroes to me eventhough I'm a old ground pounder.
