- Biography
-
Scott Francis O'Grady is a former United States Air Force (USAF) fighter pilot. On June 2, 1995, he was shot down over Bosnia and Herzegovina by a 2K12 Kub (NATO designation SA-6 "Gainful") mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) and forced to eject from his F-16C into hostile territory. US Marines from heavy-helicopter squadron HMH-464 and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit eventually rescued O'Grady after six days of evading the Bosnian Serbs. In February 1994 he had unsuccessfully engaged Serb ground attack aircraft that had violated the NATO-enforced Operation Deny Flight no-fly zone over Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines is loosely based on his experience of being shot down and rescued.
