Mighty Thunder is proud to provide Rolling Thunder Remembered readers with this inspirational message. Lady Jessie—A Vietnam Story is on PBS, sharing a really special story about some very special people. A story of harrowing days of air combat, the loss of squadronmates and the support of a special lady half a world away as they operated from aircraft carriers in the waters off North Vietnam.
In the midst of the unpopular war, Jessie Beck of Reno, Nevada, provided unwavering support to a squadron of pilots tasked with flying dangerous combat missions over North Vietnam. Such was their appreciation for her that on each cruise, the Ghost Riders of VA-164 painted the name “Lady Jessie” on the side of one of their A-4 Skyhawks.
