#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

They knew it was NSDQ at the bottom.

I'm told they put it on butcher paper, blew it up, and posted it in the jock as a way to motivate some pretty demoralized folks after the losses that we took in that battle.

And at least now they know, hey, Lisa's got somewhat of a sense about him, and we need to continue to try to figure out where he is.

#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

Until recently, I never discussed this, but somebody put it in Stars and Stripes, so it's in the public domain.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

They were broadcasting songs from an aircraft because they found out I had the radio.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And the brilliant thing was they were broadcasting a different song in different parts of the city.

#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

So if it comes back, hey, I heard ACDC, Hell's Bells.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

No shit.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

Brilliant, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And I would have thought we wanted to protect that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

But again, it was in Stars and Stripes.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

That's pretty slick.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

Yeah.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I mean, there was all kinds of brilliant shit that came out of this, just all kinds.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

Now, I didn't know that's what they're doing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

But hopefully, I will stumble into making some mention of the music that I'm hearing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And I did hear it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And then they started requesting songs for me when they found out I had the radio.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

The one I remember is a song called Seminole Wind that I think had come out that summer.

And Donovan was Indian, and he would sing that song all the time because he was proud of his Indian heritage.
