Jason Rhodes' son Frank has been missing in action in Vietnam for ten years.

Later, two captured Hueys are re-appropriated by Rhodes' team from a Laotian air force outpost and used in the raid against the P.O.W. camp. Rhodes flies one. Johnson flies the other. Rhodes' is hit and crashlands, while Johnson's is used to evacuate the surviving soldiers.
