What's happening right now inside Iran to find the missing pilot...
Somewhere in southern Iran, an American weapons systems officer is on the ground, trained to hide, survive, and wait.
Every fighter pilot prepares for this moment through a program called SERE: Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape.
They carry survival gear, specialized radios, and the training to use both.
The protocol: eject safely, find cover, go dark, transmit your location to friendlies, and stay hidden from everyone else.
A former CENTCOM commander said nightfall is an advantage because U.S. rescue teams own the dark.
Above, HH-60 Pave Hawks and HC-130s are running search patterns.
A-10s and fighters fly cover to suppress threats.
AWACS relay real-time airspace data to everyone involved.
The terrain could help.
Iran has vast remote areas with natural cover.
But food, water, injuries, and Iranian search parties are working against the clock.
No American troops are on the ground.
Everything depends on helicopters flying deep into hostile territory that just proved it can shoot down an F-15.
…the myth, the legend.

WARNING: This is a brief video of two people dying. The wife thought she was taking a picture of the event, but it was actually a video.
I have been in these intimate, private circumstances many times before with my own brain.
Nothin’ is better than round, uniform tins for hauling certain things. I’m really fond of them because they stack neatly and can save quite a bit on space. I get them off Amazon in two different sizes at a low price - a small, snuff-size can, and a larger can.
The only real drawback about them is that they can get beat up fairly easily, because they’re made out of really light aluminum. But for their low cost, I reckon it’s no big deal, since they’re easy to replace.
