    I'd focused on alliances and support received prior to 1974, the year the song (and the diatribe on which it was based) emerged. In the subsequent 51 years, there've been additional instances, including much mutual aid during natu

    To land where? It was an emergency situation. The carrier was the only safe landing zone for hundreds, if not thousands, of miles. The choppers had been flying at or above max capacity for long distance, and would have been low on fuel alr

    Fair point, but that hadn't yet been determined and the flight chief and captain were taking a severe career risk (rightly IMO) in making that call.
