This rescue photo is of the first save of Desert Storm that took place today in 1991. An MH-53J from the 20th Special Operations Squadron, piloted by Capt. Thomas Trask, rescued a downed USN F-14 pilot, Lt. Devon Jones, 130 miles into Iraq. This was the first combat rescue behind enemy lines since Vietnam. Photo via USAF Special Operations Command.
