Hairy

The shit has hit the fan. Multiple pilots are down. Search and rescue forces are stretched to the max. Fegan is still alive on the ground despite spending the night in jungle of Tchepone with grave injuries. SAR is getting hosed by deadly fire, but they won’t give up on the men on the ground.

The shit has hit the fan.  Multiple pilots are down.  Search and rescue forces are stretched to the max. Fegan is still alive on the ground despite spending the night in jungle of Tchepone with grave injuries. SAR is getting hosed by deadly fire, but they won’t give up on the men on the ground.

We dive into one of the harriest missions of the Vietnam Air War. It starts with a high-speed ejection near the Ho Chi Minh trail. Retired Navy Captain and war hero Jack ‘Fingers’ Ensch takes us through his high speed ejection and subsequent capture by the North Vietnamese Army.

Hairy is a podcast about scary real-life stories told by people who lived them. The first series is about pilots in the Vietnam War.

Decorated veteran and best-selling author Ed Colbeigh shares the dangers of flying fighters at night over Laos. Killer flight of 3 finally makes it to the target. The fire and fury above the target reminds Col Graves of Edger Allen Poe’s chilling account of ‘A Descent into the Maelstrom’.
