Reach 797 was in Germany when their mission unexpectedly changed--a high priority medical evacuation. The aircrew and 18 medical personnel flew 8,000 miles, over 19 hours, nonstop from Bagram to San Antonio, Texas to deliver Ryan, an injured Army ranger, into the care of Brooks Army Medical Center. Ryan, his wife Asia, and the crewmembers reconvened on Zoom to recap the harrowing journey.
