Aviate, Navigate, and Communicate
It sounds so simple… for 118 years these three words saved countless lives because it works. Every time. This three-word simple phrase all pilots use in emergencies to focus minds and actions on maintaining control, set a recovery course for home, and coordinate a plan to land.
No One Left Behind
There is one promise military people will die for…
We will rescue you or bring home your remains.
A jet fighter crew must lay down fire 80 meters from a SEAL team or they will die, a maneuver the aircrew has never done before. An Air Force cargo plane carries five seriously burned airline passengers 7300 miles attempting to save their lives, and a nine year old is the only American survivor. We will leave no one behind!
