This isn't new at all, but worth a re-post. The pilot that landed his family on board in his Bird Dog is a good one also.
=================================
A heroic
Vietnamese helicopter pilot saved his family - and cheated death - by
hurling his wife children onto a fleeing U.S. warship during the Fall of
Saigon, then leaping into the sea as the aircraft plunged into the
waters behind him.
New
footage has emerged showing his daring escape as the U.S.military
withdrew from Vietnam in the face of advancing communist forces.
The
pilot was one of several Vietnamese helicopter pilots who piled in
during the United States' evacuation of all its personnel in Vietnam in
April 1970.
