It became required viewing in all tactical units, once a year. We always jeered the tape (in a naming-ceremony sense of good-natured teasing) due to his seemingly shameless self-agrandizment.
I think I do have that one one of my tapes. It's with the same video that shows the A-7 pilot filming his rejoin through the gunsight, right up to the impact.
