There's video of the actual landing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so9XRUbBGj8 Superlative landing, for someone who had never landed on a carrier.

Ah Here tis http://www.history.navy.mil/nan/back...1975/jul75.pdf Larry Chambers, skipper of the Midway at that time and who retired as a rear admiral, is alive and well and living in Chapel Hill NC. He talks about turning his back as the helicopters were being pushed overboard on his order, because he expected to be court martialed for ordering them into the water and did not want to say he actually saw them splashed. When principle and statute clashed he chose principle. Can you say 'role model?"
