Jason Rhodes' son Frank has been missing in action in Vietnam for ten years. After getting evidence that he may be a P.O.W. in a camp in Laos, Rhodes assembles a rescue team consisting of Frank's surviving war buddies for a daring raid into Laotion territory to liberate the camp and, hopefully, find Frank.

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.

Later, a JetRanger equipped with machine guns is seen used by the Laotions. It gets stolen by Charts and used during the raid on the P.O.W. along with the two Hueys, but is shot down and crashes.
