I have been contacted to fly a helicopter in an upcoming major motion picture called "Last Full Measure". I am looking for information about the crew of an HH-43 Helicopter in which an aircrewman gave his life to save another person in 1968 and was awarded the MOH several years later. The base is Bien Hoa. Anyone ever heard of this story? I am told this movie is based on a true story unlike the last one I was in.

Their call-sign was Pedro 73.
I emailed the HH-43 Rescue Association.
