On 19 June 1968, LT JG Clyde Lassen flew his UH-2A Seasprite deep inside North Vietnam at night and rescued two downed naval aviators despite facing anti-aircraft fire, dense tree cover and limited illumination. When he completed the mission by safely landing on USS Jouett, he only had 5 minutes of fuel left. Lassen was the only Navy helicopter pilot awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War.

Bottom line I think that A. You are an idiot & B. Your chances of winning a Darwin Award are looking mighty good Rookie!
