Return With Honor Return With Honor By: Capt. Scott O’Grady “Return With Honor” is a book whose author was an American pilot, Scott O’Grady, who was shot down above Yugoslavia in his F-16 fighting falcon. He tells about how he managed to survive and evade capture. He describes the religious trials he went through and what key events took place before, during, and after his ordeal. He begins by explaining how he had become an Air Force pilot, and how he managed to end up in the triple nickel squadron in Italy. On the day he was shot down his commanding officer, “Wilbur” asked him if he wanted to fly a mission that day. He hadn’t flown a mission all that month so if he flew one that day he would’ve gotten an extra 150$ for hazard pay, he figured why not and agreed. In the locker room he suited up, put on his G-suit, boots, and helmet, but he forgot his flight vest. O’Grady didn’t want to take everything off and put it back on again just for the vest, so he went on and decided to crank up the excellent climate control system in his F-16.
