Guardian Eagle: A Fighter Pilot's Tale - 3996

We’re hit! Eject! I yelled to Mike Lane, my backseat copilot. I knew the plane was going down. Both engine fire lights were flashing, and the plane was out of control. Mike didn’t respond, so I pulled the ejection handle and popped out of the F-4 Phantom like a cork out of a champagne bottle. The enemy had fired two Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) at us. The second one blew up right below me. I saw this red, orange, and black fireball growing, looking like the gates of hell. Headed right for it, I had just enough time to close my eyes and hold my breath before I felt the hot flash and fell through the center of the fireball. In the blink of an eye, Captain Cordier went from “hot shot” fighter pilot at the top of his game to enduring more than six years in cruel, North Vietnamese prisons. Like Job in the Bible, he would lose everything: possessions, family, friends, and freedom. But God would not forget him. In due course, he’d be lifted out of this pit to an abundant new life—one full of purpose and meaning, beyond what he could ever have imagined.
