Scott O’Grady is a former United States Air Force fighter pilot who gained prominence after he ejected over Bosnia after his F-16C was hit by a missile fired from a Bosnian Serb SA-6 mobile rocket launcher on June 2, 1995, while he was patrolling a no-fly zone. Captain O’Grady was also invited by the Dallas Wind Symphony to read patriotic texts at the Fourth of July concert, and he graciously agreed at that event to be interviewed by Professor Carol.
