Two MH-47E Chinooks — Wild 41 and Wild 42 — of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment were returning from a routine night mission. Minutes after refueling, Wild 42 banked sharply and plunged into the sea. Ten men aboard. No survivors.
This is the story of that night — of heroism, loss, and the crew who searched thirteen hours through burning fuel for their friends. It’s the story of the Night Stalkers who never quit, even when the mission turns into a memorial.
“Night Stalkers Don’t Quit.”
